Double-Crested Cormorant
by neeko on Sep.04, 2009, under Casual Friday, Photography

If you’re near any body of water in South-West Florida, chances are your’re going to see a Double-Crested Cormorant. Not to be confused with the Anhinga, These seabirds spend their time diving underwater and swimming for their food. Since these birds are unable to waterproof their feathers, they are usually seen full-spread, drying their feathers.

Some more back catalog of photos from when I first tried out the 70-200 my friend loaned to me for the weekend. These were taken right before sunset, and a little under exposed.

One of our first stops along the Pacific Coastline was at Dunes National Park. Im used to seeing rocky cliff lines, so making my way to the coast and seeing nothing but massive dunes was quite the surprise for me.

I’ve started to collect a little back log of sunset photos where I only really got one or two decent photos from the trip. Instead of bloging about them individually, I figured I would post them up in sets. Here is the first set of misc shots.

Sunset Photoshoot – 2009.07.08
by neeko on Aug.17, 2009, under Photography, Sunset

I made way down to the Aqualane Shores beach access and walked down to the large set of pilings that usually have some sort of action.
There was nothing really happening in the sky or the shores, so I figured I would play with exposures and shutter speeds to see if I couldn’t get anything interesting.
Check the full post for the dramatic results!!!
Florida Cooter Turtle

I believe this to be a Cooter Turtle. Perhaps just a common Florida Cooter? I can’t quite tell as it is covered in algae and I didn’t want to try to catch it.

There was a rain storm that had just passed through. And the sun was set to go down in 20 minutes. I grabbed my gear and raced down to the Naples Pier to see if I could get anything out of it…
