A Beautiful Day... of my own...

This past week MCF posted a bunch of pictures from one of his great outings on our little island. In the past we have explored together and had similarities if not downright identical photos. My little experiment was to go to a site he previously visited to see what I would find and how I would interpret the local through my lens. I also wanted to try out my new InfraRed filter (which I need to practice with). Long shutter speeds are needed so any movement is blurred. Enjoy the comparisons.

Oh, and lately youtube has been sucking. It keeps failing short 13 second clips although the same format went through previously without any problems.

View from the top.


"Now everyone say GARBAGE!"


Reflecting on the present.


Two versions of the same subject at different speeds. The first is a slower shutter with more light entering.




A "Flutter By"

This was taken from about 30 feet up. There were thousands of fish along the shore. Minnows. But the video keeps failing the processing on youtube.


See that little dot just right of center?


That's him.


Another "Flutter By"


"AHHHHHH, I love the cool wind blowing through my feathers!"


Woah! Déjávu! Kind of...


And those darned guineas are in town...


That there is one fowl guinea! Click it to see the biggest mess since the platypus.
