Forsaken Fin

Kids are merciless. Once the heel strap snaps they just let the fin sink, and since one fin is no good they'll jilt another one too.
It cost them nothing, and the new pair will cost them the same.
Parents are like that. Instead of simply cutting a replacement out of an old inner bike tube, they'll just buy a new pair of fins for their spoiled brat.
In a way, our children only reflect us, and our throw-away-buy-new mentality.
Makes me hesitate to forecast anything about future generations...

Shot in the Lake where I usually make my snorkeling rounds, it was easily within the reach... at some 2.5 meters depth.Time
Date/Time was 26-Aug-13 at 14:02:53Lighting
The camera has used these elements: Shutter Speed 1/500 s, f/2.8, ISO 100, 0.00 eV, Pattern metering, no flash, Focal Length 6.2 mm, and automatically measured Daylight White Balance.Equipment
Canon PowerShot D10, used in a snorkeling dive.Inspiration
Well, it's ugly enough to see all the junk in the water thrown there by those that do not care about waters... but the fin is an ite that is easily presumed to bellong to someone that enjoys waters. So it is, in a way, even more weird to find it being jilted like this.Editing
It was cropped a tad, nothing else.In my camera bag
To me it is easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. So I load my photo vest with whatever I might need for my photo session, walk or trip. My photo bags usually keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. The vest's many pockets usually contain two cameras, spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small photo clamp instead of a tripod. Sometimes I'll include a small action camera, mainly for its wide field of view and resistance to water and weather. The vest has large-lens pockets that holds a small water bottle, a sandwich, or a bar of chocolate if I plan on being out for the whole day. There is about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. With these, much can be "mcgyvered" along the way, so that's all I need. Recently I make it even more comfortable for me, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch. Simplicity and comfort; two best ingredients in most situations!Feedback
Hard to say. Everyone has their own favorite themes. However, if your camera is not then and there, no good theme will get recorded. So have a camera handy at all times! :)
