Small bursts of rain came through (and are continuing) this morning.

I'm spending the winter months of 2014-2015 in a warm spot on the beach in Indialantic, FL (if I have Internet access, it doesn't matter too much where I'm physically located).

 

While most of my photos have been taken at sunrise, on the eastern side of the long island/sand-bar that runs from Cape Canaveral down to Port St. Lucie, I thought I should take at least one batch of sunset shots.

 

So I drove about 20 miles south, down to the Sebastian Inlet State Park, and found a long spit of land that reached out into the Indian River, facing due west.

 

I mounted my camera on a tripod, and took about 20 3-shot HDR compositions as the sun dropped down to the horizon.

 

As I waited for the sun to drop lower, so that I could take more shots, I looked around the area to see if there was anything else that I could photograph with my second camera -- a half-frame Sony RX10 camera.

 

Lots of birds: egrets, pelicans, opsrey, sandpipers, seagulls, terns, and a bunch more than I couldn't even recognize.

 

These are the ones that I thought were most interesting...

 

Storms expected most of the weekend - hoping for some good lightning. This is a stitch of four overlapping images. I didn't have my tri-pod with me so I did a few takes of trying to overlap the shots to make a good pano. It was such an interesting sky to the left the storms were coming and to the right blue skies with light clouds. Still learning the pano software.

Another scene from an afternoon at Sebastian Inlet. There was a scattering of people fishing in the surf north of the jetty. This family seemed to be rethinking their decision to locate here vs. on the jetty, fishing the channel with the larger group.

Pelicans flying north. Probably not going far at this time of year.

Story: Perspective

 

Use perspective for the purpose of this challenge is the relationship of objects in the scene. If you really want a challenge, this is a good chance to use forced perspective.

They come around a couple of times a day. Today they were having conversations with each other. Must be that time of year.

Tern gulping down a fish it just caught while on the wing

A recent trip to Sebastian State Park. Although the inlet entrance was somewhat calm. Taking a walk into the park produced some activity.

The Sebastian Inlet off in the distance on a rainy day. I just love the reflections on the concrete deck over-looking the Indian River.

Early morning long before the sun actually rose, the skies lit up!

Here an osprey caught a fish that a fisherman had just hooked, and is trying to fly away with it. The fishing line was strong enough to prevent that, so shortly after this image was taken the osprey released its grip on the fish.
