Day 345: Abandoned Railroad…or roller coaster?

Saturday, December 15, 2012

There are abandoned, or at least “Not In Use” according to a sign on semi-stripped crossing arms, railroad tracks next to the freeway in Seaside/Monterey, CA. As you can see, there is a lot of “up and down” making it look more like a roller coaster.  It may have been old trolley tracks, which makes […]

Day 343

Monday, December 10, 2012

The Dailylife Wife and I saw this bird flitting around a bunch, but we never got a really good look at it (that means a good look at it AND the Bird Book on her iPad at the same time!).  I was able to get some good photos at last.  It was not easy, as […]

Day 342: He’s got the whole world in his beak!

Monday, December 10, 2012

Or at least the Moon.  A serendipitous photo: I didn’t even see the Moon when I took it!  This is, of course, a Brown Pelican. (1/400s f/8.0 ISO200 42.6mm (35mm eq:200mm) P7100) ~Curtis on the shore of Monterey Bay! {!-{>

Day 340

Friday, December 7, 2012

I was waiting for a couple of interviews yesterday when I saw…otters…on the sea shore! (1/200s f/5.6 ISO100 42.6mm (35mm eq:200mm) -1/3 stop P7100) These are all 100% sized crops: no reductions.  It pushed the lens on my P7100 to the limit! (1/250s f/5.6 ISO100 42.6mm (35mm eq:200mm) -1/3 stop P7100) These are full coolor, […]

(Olympus PEN PL2) Inside the Aquarium there is a large Killer Whale […]

Day 337

Saturday, December 1, 2012

The sun was out while I was finding my way around town.  This nice bush was down on the shoreline drive around Pacific Grove.  Doggone if I know the name of it. (1/500s f/6.3 ISO200 22.5mm (35mm eq:105mm) -2/3 stop P7100) Drive through Monterey I thought I saw something familiar through the trees… (1/640s f/5.0 […]
