Subaqueous

Last month I took a kayak trip out to one of the barrier islands here in Naples, Florida called Keewaydin. I was able to get out there shortly after sunrise and find some decent shots. The warm light and high contrast made for some lovely black and white imagery.

I was out kayaking one morning and came across this brown pelican. The rising sun provided a lot of warmth to the shot, and thankfully the gulf was calm enough to get a clear shot.

The last of my beach related photo backlogs. This was also taken with the 70-200 L. There were an amazing amount of birds on the beach this day. Take a look and let me know what you think!

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.

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.

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!!!

Tonight’s sunset was going to be a bust, or so I thought. I was planning on heading to the beach to catch it, but looking at the severe weather alerts on my iphone was making me wonder how it was going to turn out.

As I walked onto the rain soaked beach, the people who had obviously been there all day looked at me rather stragely with all my camera gear. “What’s this douche going to take pictures of? It’s complete shit out.”  Or so I was thinking they were thinking about me.
