I'm always amazed at all the different colours and patterns these guys sport.
I'd like to get this one in flight some day. I saw him flying today with that beautiful white tail flashing in the sun, but my camera couldn't find the focus.

Rock n Roller coaster - I had rented a 70-200mm lens from Kingdom Camera Rentals and decided to do some playing around at Hollywood Studios. when you see photos of this area it is main a wide open shot of the guitar, with this lens i was get close and do something completely different.
Egg Rock Light, located on Egg Roc, midway between Mount Desert Island and the Schoodic Peninsula k in Frenchman Bay, was originally built in 1875. The station consists of two separate buildings--a light tower and keeper's house, and a fog station building. One of Maine's most architecturally unique lighthouse, it features a square tower projecting through the 1½ story wood frame light keeper's house. The painted rick tower rises 40 feet and is configured to flash red every 40 seconds.
The Bar Harbor Whale Watch Company's Lobster Fishing and Seal Watching cruise departs from the town pier in downtown Bar Harbor. The 1¾ hour tour through Frenchman Bay aboard the Miss Samantha, Maine's largest lobster passenger boat, offers two experiences. During the first half of the trip, an experienced fisherman hauls in lobster traps from the ocean floor while a naturalist describes everything and offers a touch tank experience for children During the second half of the trip, the Miss Samantha heads to Egg Rock, midway between Mount Desert Island and the Schoodic Peninsula, where passengers can view the Egg Rock Light and sun-bathing seals.

Face Rock-is the big rock on the left in the water. If you look it's man's head who is floating on his back... His chin begins at the right of the rock, then lips, nose and forehead.
Once the classic Rock Island station where many Famous Rock Island trains and the SP-RI Golden State once stopped is a classic dinning place for special events. I rode a few Rocket trains here in the 70's with a working agent at the station.I just wish i taken a photo inside back in the 70's
A freindly raven came and pose (probably looking for food rather than fame).
A cuervo vino muy cerquita, probablemente buscando cominda, no fama.
Looking east from behind Beloit Memorial High School, across the river at ABC Supply HQ, lagoon fountains, and the pavillion. I took the earlier boat photos sitting on the bank in front of the fountains, just about in the center in this panorama.
Obviously, this will look MUCH better at larger sizes.
Nine handheld exposures stitched together by Autostitch program.
An image from last summer's calendar shoot. The day was almost over and the model decided to climb up the rock wall and I shot from a ledge on the other side. Every image turned out great, but this is definitely my favorite!
This is a 5-exposure HDR of another photographer shooting the waterfall at Spouting Rock.
The trail head to Spouting Rock is at the top of the Hanging Lake trail, just before entering the view of the lake.
This large rock that juts off the North side of Main Beach in Laguna is a beautiful example of the habitats that shore birds live on and is part of the California National Coastal Monument. californiathroughmylens.com/bird-rock-laguna-beach

Originally, Round Rock was not named Round Rock nor was it located where it is currently. Coincidence and fate combined to determine the location of Round Rock. The initial settlement of Brushy (as the town was originally called) was located near the banks of Brushy Creek at the natural fording area by the round rock.
The Brushy Creek Post Office was established in a section of Thomas C. Oatts' store on May 27, 1851. However in 1854, postal authorities asked Mr. Oatts to provide another name for the settlement (being that there was already a town in the State that called itself Brushy). Mr. Oatts decided to rename the town Round Rock in recognition of the large rock in the middle of Brushy Creek where he and Jacob Harrell spent much time sitting and fishing; thus on August 24, 1854, the name of Round Rock was officially given to the community (Scarbrough 310).
The coming of the International and Great Northern Railroad in 1876 forced the commercial area of Round Rock to move to the east, leaving the original settlement to be referred to as Old Town forever more. Today, the area has special historical interest and several businesses have restored and then located their shops in these buildings. The restoration of this area can be seen as being an attempt to emphasize the historic past of the City of Round Rock.
I normally find myself in Round Rock on Saturday mornings to run a few errands and decided to stop by Brushy Creek to see how well the recent storms have treated it. It was definitely flowing much better than any time over the last 2-3 years and the round rock had quite a bit of water around it. The creek could still use a bit more water but it was definitely a pleasant walk through Memorial Park. The round rock can be found just off HWY 79 near the Chisolm Trail crossing.
Mohan, the voice of Popular Indian Rock Band, Agnee. Attended one of their shows for the first time yesterday, and was simply blown away with the performance. Awesome guys!
Why i like this pic:
Shooting a rock concert with its changing light by the millisecond is a huge challenge. Getting exposure, wb etc. right is a bitch. The first 10 shots or so that i got were all crap. Blurry, underexposed and what not. When I finally got it all right, this was the first proper shot i got. And that too at the precise moment when the confetti showered down on them.. what luck !
Incidentally these are all shot with the super slow 70-300 VR (f/4.5 - 5.6). Forced me to pump up ISO to 1600 and the result is as you can see. Never realized how good the high-iso performance on my D90 was. No noise reduction applied
This Rock Pipit was running around very close to where I was having a nice cup of coffee and a cream cake after my two hour walk. They can certainly run, making it difficult to keep up when zoomed in. He sat on the roof rack of a neighbouring car for just a few moments.
