What Bob said. The bottom one looks a bit overcooked. Seems to be the popular thing these days.
Definitely a beautiful scene.

Last night.
I have another from a different spot that I really liked, but missed the focus. To be more specific, focus was good on what I fucused on, but the flower overall was a bit soft. I may try again tonight.

Yep, at it again.




I could stop anytime I wanted.

Heavy cloud cover all day, so think probably would be no sunset.
But I checked a beach web cam about an hour and half before sunset, and saw an area of thinner clouds at the horizon in about the area I knew would be the sunset. So I went for ride down there about an hour before sunset.
Was a little bit of sunset color thru that area.

But what was even better was the twilight color comming up thru there after sunset. Twilight color was fairly low in the sky, but with teleophotoe lens that aera filled the frame. Was still twigilight color in sky when was dark enough for the pier lights to come on. Good thing I brought tripod this time.

I had a friend who was addicted to drinking brake fluid. He said he could stop any time.

Yep, at it again.

I could stop anytime I wanted.

I never do it before noon.

That will be my rehabilitation effort. No pier sunset photos before 4pm.

Beautiful shots Dave.
I've been a bit lazy with posting here.

Beautiful shots Dave.

Agreed! Agreed to both your comments.

[dorkburger]

I've been lazy. Posting on FB is easy, my tablet I link Flickr images from is really slow, and soon I'm going to have to ante up at Flickr as I'm approaing the limit of free.

I'll get some pics up here soon.

Good morning.

Someone is stepping up their game. Nice! Like the butterfly....

Except for last night when I tripped and fell . There was a small step down I didn't see. My Sears lens got dinged - superficial thankfully.
The top two were at a park I found last week. Its an odd juxtaposition of a place, surrounded by the turnpike, major commuter railroad, capped landfills, power lines, etc, yet nature thrives. One of the walking paths shares space with two sets of hit tension power line towers.
It was windy that day so I had probably at least 20 bad butterfly shots.

Glen,
Nice shorescape. Lots of curvey lines, more than most shorescapes.

And, hey! a flutterbye close up, nicely posed.

THe two trucks are interesting in how see the front ends but the remainder just fade away in the shadows, but not definite shadows.

Seems like you are getting out on a regular basis.

Ding in your lens? I did something like that to a lens (wide angle, fixed) to where it is hard to adjust the focus. Drat.

Well, I held off for 48 hours , 'cuz was out of town.

Got home this evening when was looking like an orange sunset developing.
And so headed down there. Enroute I could see orange blaze way up into the sky, maybe 45dgrees up.
But was fading before got there.

Made it down there for twilight.

Keep in mind that the two beacon lights flash at different rates and durations. Takes a bit of effort to catch both on at the same time. And then also when trying to catch it after a wave recedes.... adds more to the challenge.

Dang Dave, another beauty.
