Island Lichen

I’m sharing just this one image that I shot during a bitterly cold walk around one of the uninhabited islands off of Mount Desert Island. The water you see is Blue Hill Bay. I took it with a Fuji XT-3 and a manual-focus Rokinon 12mm f/2 lens. With the wind chill, temperatures were near zero which makes photography very challenging for me. I can manage to press the shutter button while wearing heavy gloves, or even mittens, but that only works if the camera settings need no adjusting. One nice thing about the Rokinon is that at f/8, its Hyper Focal Distance is less than 3′ allowing you to take shots like this without having to be constantly focusing, and so I could pretty much walk around and shoot while keeping my hands protected.
