I think it’s been 5 years since I last saw my good friends Barry & Kathy. We dined at Coqueta and as usual I was so involved in the conversation I didn’t take any photos.
Hardman’s
Barin Reunion 2019
Sandy’s family is great with regard to reunions. This year it was hosted in San Diego at the Kona Kai Resort & Spa. We could only attend the evening dinner.
As the World Terns
It’s been said that the best camera you have is the one that is in your hands. I had my tiny compact Sony RX100VI that shoots stills at 24 fps.
Sandy’s BDay 2019
For Sandy’s birthday this year I made rezzies at Skool. The uni flan was a stand out, so good.
Whale’s Tale
I just spent 4 hrs today trying to get a photo of the female Humpback Whale circling in the Alameda lagoon. She would surface every few mins but only show her upper fin. It was quite the circus atmosphere. I got distracted and shot all sorts of other things.
Ugly Ducklings
Blondie’s ducklings are at that awkward stage, in between fluff & feathers.
Spidey
Spent about 20 mins trying to shoot this guy on the BBQ cover. Reminds me of a king crab.
Bobbing for Duckweed
or mallard olympics synchronized swimming…
Remote Wildlife Shooting
I spent 2 hours of my time trying to use the wireless remote capture function on my Sony via the iphone. The app is underdeveloped and I gave up. Canon saved the day, using the EOS-M5 I got a decent shot. It’s a unusual situation in that for whatever reason the baby hummer waits in the same spot for most of the day. It took quite awhile for the baby hummer to get comfortable with the camera being so close. I’ll try again when the light is better.
The following day I got on top a ladder which was the quickest solution. I even tried using a strobe, I’m still not satisfied.
Hangry
Everyone was hungry this evening. The baby hummingbird was squawking (loudly) waiting to be fed & the egret was having sashimi.
