testing out a new (to me) Birding Lens, Nikon 200-500mm

That's how far he saw you coming. My favorite flyer down at the bay.

Track in the snow - my tracks and BIG big bird tracks

note the optical illusion that reverse the indentations in the snow made my the feet mine and the bird to ridges.

of these geese, circled 'round and eating. I like the birds flying above them, too.

Walking along Irondequoit Bay.

With my particular setup, I get better results by scanning my black and white negative -- and positives -- as color positives, then desaturating and flipping in the Gimp. For these last two, I lost too much definition when I desaturated, so I left them as they came from the scanner, weirdness and all.

A while back, @timebombtimmy (dA) / @eighty4grain (IG) gave me some long-expired Polaroid PolaPan instant black and white slide film to shoot for a commemorative project he is working on. I shot this roll in a variety of places last summer.

Tim developed the roll and sent me back the slide. It seems the chemicals had dried out somewhat, leaving assorted interesting artifacts on the slides.

when the lake levels rose in 2019, the boat launch and parking area at the Irondequoit Bay outlet park was underwater.

Actually most of the dark blue water is the outlet of Irondequoit Bay, but will you look at all those shades of beautiful blue and turquoise! It was breathtaking! Satisfies my appetite for the layered look.

NO INVITES PLEASE

when those people showed up with corn - warning - NOISY!

1/18/09 Fowl weather, every one is grounded. This group is near the mouth of Irondequoit Bay and Lake Ontario, it's about 20deg. F. winds calm. In the direction these birds are facing there are ice fishermen, snowmobilers and a motor cycle race on the ice is about to start.

I think they are here to people watch.

Irondequoit Bay at LaSalle's Landing Park - "intrepid explorer Robert Rene de LaSalle . . . In 1669, LaSalle actually made a stop near where Rochester is located today . . . LaSalle’s landing somewhere along the shore of Irondequoit Bay? (The exact location is not known, undoubtedly due to the way the geography has changed over the years.)"

Cory came to visit over Labor Day weekend and we were happy to see him after a couple of really rough years. Things are going well for him and the future only looks brighter as he embarks on a new career. Hopefully we'll see him more often, but I think he's only going to get busier.
