Inside Wave Action a lot of water coming by the truck window followed by this large blue brush, feels like Sea World, shot in North Carolina.
Offshore a large bank of fog drifts parallel to shore, the late afternoon sun lights up the top of the low clouds. Pelicans and sea birds fill the clear sky. A strong wind blows from the west. The southerly swell makes for some pretty good size waves and here the surf meets the cliffs of Ano Neuvo. Expert surfing only here! Pacific Ocean U.S.A.
Romeo was on the shed roof, checking if he had not forgotten something juicy. I was under the veranda, sitting after some hard work in the garden. I was looking at my friend through my camera lens when he decided to fly away. I clicked at the right moment to get a piece of the action :)) Not technically a very good photo but one that I like, even if I cut a bit of his left wing off !
Wheeling 431 is westbound through Ada, Ohio by a former Pennsy caboose on a former Pennsy mainline. In this case some haze helped mute the harshness of the sun allowing a better view of the neat depot in town. 7/5/2020
Some action in the Port of Tacoma, WA on a very cold and clear December evening. I nearly froze my fingers in just a few minutes so the Longshoremen must be really prepared for this. It's a 4 shot HDR in Lightroom that tamed the crazy bright lights and contrast.
Thank you for your warm and kind visits my friends; you are very much appreciated! :)

Great Egret departing its perch on the railing of the boardwalk at Cullinan Park, Sugar Land, Texas, flying into the unknown. An experiment with the FZ300 in good light (09:34am, which is much better than in low light, e.g 0713am).
A trio of EMD GP40 series locomotives pull Rio Grande train No. 187 through Provo, Utah the evening of March 2, 1987. In the background at right is 10,193 ft. Spanish Fork Peak of Maple Mountain.
Usually the black-crowned night herons (Nycticorax nycticorax) sit very still on a branch, they look like a stuffed bird! But this time there was some action: one of the 3 black-crowned night herons moved and actually opened its wings. A good photo opportunity!

Freezing motion
There are essentially two ways to freeze motion with a camera:
1.Use a Fast Shutter Speed such that the “sliver of time” you are capturing is very short and the object being captured moves very little, if at all, during the extremely short duration the shutter is open, or
2.Use the very Short Duration of a Flash so that the object you are photographing gets illuminated for a very small sliver of time. The duration time of an electronic flash can be extremely short. For example, a Speedlight like the Canon 580EXII at 1/128 power is less than 1/19,000th of a second!
Hilarious... had a lot of fun with this. I tried without flash... dismal results, but not really the right lens for the job, so resorted to flash. Even then, focus was not that good but hey, I tried :-) Spent an hour at least... Remote control and tripod, plenty of timing issues... After a break, I tried again, with a helper dropping the pepper, better result...
