This Photograph shows a view from the South Point Park in Miami Beach, looking towards Fisher Island on the South and Downtown Miami on West. The Pilot Boat seems to be headed out the Inlet past the Port of Miami in Biscayne Bay. The name Biscayne, on the Bow of this Boat, appears to be Name of the Boat. I believe that this Boat is used to guide ships In & Out of the Inlet between the Port and the Atlantic Ocean. The Tires on the side are used as Fenders to prevent damage when pushing another boat or ship. The Red & White Flag is a signal flag, however I don't have a listing for the meanings of Signal Flags.
NOTE: The location that I show on the flickrâ„¢ Map are not the Pilot Boats Location, but rather the approximate Point on the Miami Beach Shore Walkway where I took the Photographs from.
Several Cruise Ships are getting ready to start leaving the Port and my Cruise Ship Photographs will follow my photographs South Pointe Park Pier.
I never tire of stopping at the old lighthouse when I am in the park, It is a great place to hang out. Yesterday was a hot summers day the sky was real hazy and the sun had a huge ring around it, the black cockatoo's where out screeching in the morning, which is always a sign of rain coming. When we got here in the afternoon the tourists came and went pretty quick, so Dale and I got to enjoy the sea eagle cruising around overhead and the hundreds of tiny swallows that were buzzing about and dive bombing us and little Jacky lizards darting across our paths and sun baking on logs. what a top way to end and afternoon of hiking and picture taking
Taken during a photo walk around Vancouver, BC back in September. Metro Vancouver was engulfed in haze from the wildfires in BC and Washington back then. The sky was very bleak.

This is a Fan Boat that I saw riding South on 49th Street in Clearwater, Florida in February 1996 after my Employer had just transferred me to Florida. Unfortunately, I had to photograph it through my windshield and quickly before it was out of range. This resulted in a very marginal Framing and Exposure. I scanned the Negative and cleaned up the resulting Electronic Image as best I could with an early version of Photoshop Elementsâ„¢.
Disclaimer: I took these two photo on February 1996 with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 SLR using Print Film, when I was just learning photograph; so the Photo is very soft & grainy. I scanned the Color 35 mm Film Negative and used Photoshop Elements to correct the exposure to generate this Digital Image
This picture was taken in the north of East Anglia (close to Wells on Sea) in a swampy plain facing the sea and the Holkham bay. The sun light through the clouds was decreasing til it was captured by the dry grass. Nice moment
It is also a spot for animal photographer who come at the sunset when birds go out.

It was quite amusing to see the cars slowing down as soon as they came around the curve and saw me with my tripod on top of an overpass...

Along the road from Mount Nebo to the Dead Sea we came across a herd of camels grazing alongside the road, so I stopped to photograph them. This female looks as if she is puckering up for a kiss from me, when in fact she was chewing.
The dromedary, also called the Arabian camel (Camelus dromedarius), is a large, even-toed ungulate with one hump on its back. Males are 1.8–2 m (5.9–6.6 ft) tall and females are 1.7–1.9 m (5.6–6.2 ft) tall. Males range from 400–600 kg (880–1,320 lb), while females weigh 300–540 kg (660–1,190 lb). They vary in colour from a light beige to dark brown. The notable hump, measuring 20 cm (7.9 in) high, is composed of fat bound together by fibrous tissue. Their diet includes foliage and desert vegetation, like thorny plants which their extremely tough mouths allow them to eat. These camels are active in the day, and rest together in groups. Led by a dominant male, each herd consists of about 20 individuals. Dromedaries use a wide set of vocalizations to communicate with each other. They have various adaptations to help them exist in their desert habitat. Dromedaries have bushy eyebrows and two rows of long eyelashes to protect their eyes, and can close their nostrils to face sandstorms. Their ears are also lined with protective hair. When water-deprived, they can fluctuate their body temperature by 6 °C, changing from a morning minimum of 34° to a maximum of 40° or so in the afternoon. This reduces heat flow from the environment to the body and thereby water loss through perspiration is minimized. They have specialized kidneys, which make them able to tolerate water loss of more than 30% of their body mass; a loss of 15% would prove fatal in most other animals. Their hair is a highly regarded source material for woven goods and their dung is used as fertilizer and fuel.

From atop the Koisonohana headland at the southern end of Isshiki Beach, you can enjoy much larger waves crashing ashore as they breach the rocky coastline. Some waves are immensely large compared to the relative calm waves on the beach.

Shot from aboard the Skimmer, a guide/tour boat that takes customers on a tour along the Texas coast for the purpose of viewing the birds that can be found. During the months that the whooping cranes are wintering (November through March, possibly into April) many of them can be found in the Aransas Wildlife Refuge. We saw this boat, named Wharf Cat, which also carries tourists for the same birding route. It is a larger boat that also is used for fishing trips out into the Gulf of Mexico.

One of my co-workers called me rather late last night to tell me about the moon, so I went out in my PJ's to get a photo for her. The haze and clouds were pretty nice here at 200mm but I was trying to get a shot of just the moon with my new 800mm lens later, and they didn't help much.
What would normally be a nice fading sunset is overshadowed by smoke high up in the atmosphere, from the unfortunate wildfires of California. You can see the sky is an uneasy grayish-blue color as the smoke drifts past some 25,000-30,000 feet up. Oh and of course there's outbound Midtown train 6431, pulling in a few minutes early, just after 6:20pm, with maybe two or three commuters. The new normal.

Smoky sunrise over lake Minnetonka...
Once again, the smoke from those Canadian wild fires, providing me with some interesting shooting conditions! It's the weirdest thing to wake up in the morning and see this giant red ball in the horizon that you can look directly into, with your naked eyes! The only filter used in this shot is a CPL! I did some post processing but the majority of the work was done by Mother Nature!
Happy Forth:)
