For Sandy’s birthday this year I made rezzies at Skool. The uni flan was a stand out, so good.
Sandy’s BDay 2019
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.
Shark Fin Cove II
Work took me down south, so I stopped by Shark Fin Cove again.
Damn Terns
Over the years I’ve spent an enormous amount of time trying to photograph the diving terns. I can never seem to get a shot I like, as they fly so fast. Even the phoebe stopped feeding to watch the terns.
Lazy Sunset Photographer
After our dinner date I stopped by the ferry terminal to shoot the sunset. I was too lazy to find a location & I wasn’t the only one out there shooting photos.
