Recent work; the stripes and insignia have been painted over again so they look a bit better. The full project will be done next weekend I hope but definitely must be before the 27th

Blue Jay - Just Fledged by soates50, on Flickr
Coming back from Miatas at the Gap yesterday, (in the Miata), we did as someone recommended.
We parked in one of the pull offs on the dragon, pulled out our chairs, cameras, and cold drinks.
Sat between mile 3 and 4, and had a blast....just relaxing, watching everyone come by.
The peace sign seems big with younger Miata crowd, but us old timers can learn.

Hey, You can do that with a small car. Hey, I think I know that spot on the Dragon. Yah, the place with the pullover lane and can see a curve in each direction.
And then you can also combine your Mitia interest with an other hobby of photography.
Why, I bet you took maybe 8 or 10 shots right there.
Is that a peace sign? Or does that stand for "too small"?

This one was between mile 3 and 4, on the downhill side of the road.
Big enough to hold three small cars and motorcycle or two, which did happen.
And I did take a few pictures, but I am no Killboy, that's for sure.
I found 8 or 10 GOOD ones, out of the 150 or so I took there.
Moving vehicles is tricky business.
Went out last evening, just to get out, and take camera. Which I haven't done in, oh, six weeks, I would say.
Which I previously would do often on the bike (along with a ride of course).
Was Going to go down by the beach & pier, looked like might be a colorful sunset.
Was thinking of taking the 45 prime lens (faster) (90 equivalent in 35mmSLR, so short tele), but got so distracted trying to find the extra battery, that I forgot about the lens, and left on the 14-42 zoom.
Eventually I did find the battery. Was Still in BMW RT side bag from my "ride-RT-home" trip the first week of June. I say all that to explain how long it has been since I been out on a photo expedition, so more like, 8 weeks
THis all was a different experience in a car. I just went straight there, found a parking space nearby (with some difficulty) and walked to the beach-pier. Sat in a place for a while, then go some place else for a while, waiting for sun-light to change. Went to the beach and then out on pier then the campground and then back to the beach.
That was different. Usally on the bike I ride further out of town, go for a ride somewhere, then ride down near beach, find a place to pose bike, take a few shots, then continue my ride out of town in some other direction.
Okay, I will shut up, and post some pics:

I liked the shadow of the catwalk on the beacon tower. Typically I would rather not have the people in the picture, so dont go there on a busy summer day. But, hey, all the tourist are part of the scene there.
Yes, the catwalk is back up, after being gone for about 2 years for rework of the pier.
And the beacon tower freshly repainted.
THese folks thought that was an invite for them to scratch something into it, their intials maybe.
I was gonna say to them "Gee, I have always wondered who would do that. I always assumed it was teenagers out partying on a dark lonely night, not adults on a crowded day." (but, I chickened out.)
As often happens, the sun sets behind some clouds on the horizon, rather than seeing the sun go down behind the horizon.
Wife looked at all my pics, and commented that I sure have a lot of pics of young girls at the beach.
I said that needed some silhouette in the foreground, you know, just for scale. And that I had invited her along. And that, well, I need another hobby endeavor for a few weeks yet. (and then I made a point to do some activities with her yet that evening. And post pics this afternoon, not then.)

Impressive.
I was going to ask if that was all natural light (un-aided with mirrors or diffusers or whatnot).
Or you found the situation in good light with a darker background.
