And did manage to grab some time this afternoon to post a couple more pictures from Hadrell's Point. When I went out there last week I used my compass -- yes, I actually carry a compass in my camera bag so I can figure out where the sun rises and sets and whether it might be worth an early morning or late afternoon return some day -- and Hadrell's Point is probably a good one. In yesterday's ship shot, the dock itself was empty but there are often shrimp boats unloading there. I figure if I pay attention I might get a sunset behind shrimp boats.
Patience. In the meantime, a couple of quick shoot from the hip shots of pelicans in the air:
So THAT is my problem. I keep shooting from the hip! I promise myself that I will work on learning what happens with changing F-stops...but ISO was so much easier to learn. Now I should carry a compass? What about a sunrise/sunset calculator? Why do these pelicans look more graceful in the air?
ReplyDeleteNice shots of the pelicans!
ReplyDeleteWow! Anyone can take photos of pelicans serenely resting on a pier, but not everyone can get really good shots of birds in flight!
ReplyDeleteHell I didn't even know these birds could fly!
ReplyDeleteOoh, I love a pelican. I'm back at my blog again---whew, that was too long.
