From my new Canon EOS 5D, using a borrowed Canon 1.4x tele-extender on my 70-200 f2.8L lens. Shot in raw, converted to jpeg and reduced for display. Slightly cropped.

not sure if cropping is an improvement

I took a little road trip to Shell Beach which is appx 25 miles

south east of New Orleans proper. A hard hit fishing community.

 

There is a Hurricane Katrina memorial at the end of Yscloskey Hwy....

both on shore and in the water. It's also an area where fishermen take

their boats out to the giant Lake Borgne, it is along the Mississippi River

-Gulf Outlet (MRGO) which is an inlet the leads to the Gulf Of Mexico.

from a small sea cave near Pismo Beach.

 

A dish shot... the swell was too chancy to take out the nice camera inside the cave, but now that I know what I'm looking for, I'll go back for an in situ photo when the conditions are better.

 

These are tiny little chitons... this one is around 5-7mm long, if I am remembering correctly. I forgot to measure, but certainly it's one of the smallest chitons I've photographed.

I love the beautiful bark of the madrona trees. Canadians call them arbutus trees. Arbutus, menziesii

Shell Beach is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site at Shark Bay on the coast of Western Australia

MAY 2011 ~ More wind play, wave action at Bodega Head in a 40 knot gale.

   

The fog comes

on little cat feet.

 

It sits looking

over harbor and city

on silent haunches

and then moves on.
