wishbone

From July 2017.
 

Another one a little later in the morning.

From this past weekend.

Here are some shots from the Outer Banks of North Carolina where I have been vacationing for a week.  The week started out very rough with Hurricane Jose just offshore.  We had ~50 mph gusts for the first three days.  Beaches have been closed to swimming all week (unless you were a professional surfer here for the competition).  Weather broke on Wednesday (beaches still closed) but at least it was nice and sunny.
The waves were huge for this area and the surfers were having a blast.  So I decided to grab my camera and make the most of it.
The weather was also perfect for some night exposures at the Bodie Island Light House....although I had to fight with a group of clueless photographers one evening.
Also had fun flying my drone around.  Had a video to upload but I guess it's too large...I'll resize it and try again later.
Oh....the surfer photos were taken with my Canon 5D MK IV and Canon 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens
The lighthouse photos were taken with my Canon 5D MK IV and Canon 24-105 f/4L USM IS lens.  On tripod (IS / AF disabled) with remote shutter on BULB at f/4 for ~13 seconds)
One more night then back to reality for a few weeks.
Cheers hope to see you all on the server in a few days!

Snagged a couple of shots of a Bald Eagle when I was out boating on Memorial Day.
Two of the better ones.
Taken with Canon 5D Mark IV and Canon 100-400 f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens.  Eagle was about 100 yards away so these are significant crops.
Also took my new drone out and got some footage I may post a little later.
Cheers!

Two years ago, today:
June 17, 2015. My wife and have taken some incredible hikes over the years. But the views during our hike around Byers Lake in Denali State Park (Talkeetna Alaska)...were epic.  Truly one of the most beautiful places we have ever been.

Taken yesterday behind my office moments before heavy rain, lightning, and thunder.
 

4 more shots of the hawk that I was very lucky to have photographed 3 weeks ago:
 

 

 

 

Went to Lick Observatory with GF...
 

 
Took this with cell phone while camera was busy with time lapse. 

 
5 second exposure while sun going down

 
15 second exposure long after sun went down

This is one of those pics where I wish I would have snapped more than one.... it's motion blurry but would have been great if it was sharp. Or maybe I should just carry a tripod with me everywhere, lol.

I really like this thread, such good photos!!!! I would call myself a "high tech low budget" photobug.

Wow, GREAT collection, I know for a fact that, when you love guns, you just gota have them.
I just picked up a new .17 WSM and .7 HMR, OMG, I have never had so much fun shooting a gun, they are VERY accurate for a rim fire

Extremely calming after playing cod for a few hours
