The Reddish Egret often hunts by forming a canopy with its wings over the water to reduce glare and to attract fish to the shade. That's exactly what this one was doing in a tidal pool on a beach near Fort Myers.
As always, thank you so much for stopping by and for leaving any comments or faves, they are very much appreciated.
The wind finally died down just in time to catch the Milky Way setting over the Ocean. Whatipu beach is a remote spot on the West Coast of Auckland, famous for shipwrecks and ghost stories. It was a spine tingling experience shooting the galaxy in such a mystical place. 28 shot pano, 25secs @ ƒ4.5 24mm.
Late sunset light over the coast of Maine. took this to ISO 400 at f/8 to get the 30 second exposure, enough to smooth out the reflection in the breezy evening but not too much keeping some of the nice cloud definition that was in the pretty sky that evening.
Pemaquid Point, Maine
On my first day I took a walk on some snowmobile trails around West Yellowstone. The sun was just starting to set though the trees.

It was early morning at Lake Bohinj, Slovenia, and the overnight mist was clearing. The rowers had just set off in their kayaks to creat a very pretty scene for me.

Last week we had to have an old maple tree in our yard cut down. The birds and the squirrels seemed to miss the tree at first. I wanted to save the 3' stump for a 'table' to put peanuts on it for the squirrels, and possibly potted plants in the summertime. This is the one of the more curious squirrels I've been calling "Snoopy" who was the first to investigate the new setup..

Log 2.002.5: My new associate has come through once again. Seems like he had some navigation modules and was able to install them into the ship. At least now I'm not in totally uncharted space anymore. We are going to head to a station nearby, hopefully we will be able to get some supplies. Seems like this new friend is making himself a lot more useful than I had imagined. I may just be able to make it back.
... A fond farewell.
Early morning light, Coate Water, Wiltshire.
Setup,
Angle finder on, lens almost touching the water
Tripod in the lake.
Sat on the bank.
Feet in the lake (wellies on ;o))
The only trouble with this setup is, that to see any of the images on the back screen you have to take the camera off the tripod, as you can't tilt it forward at all !! It's like film days you have to wait until later to see what you've got :o)
Situated at the end of a magnificent fjord in the far north of the country, Siglufjörður is an active fishing port, but has now largely converted to tourism thanks to its museums, outdoor activities and pretty houses, all set in exceptional natural surroundings!
