I appreciate it guys!!! I am actually working on a site, and have been for quite some time. Its a small community here, and I have been swamped just by word of mouth. But I will have one up and going here soon! My first year running my own studio, and I have been kinda overwealmed. But I guess thats a good thing! This DPC is a release from those stresses! Best of luck to you both. You are very talented!
I did get a shot off today! Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), it was my entry for the "framing" challenge.. so I can't very well show it off here. Too bad.
Didn't manage to do any other photography today either, and going out right now with the express purpose of taking a picture simply to post to this thread seems a little.. oh.. I dunno.. silly :)
Anyone want to try and guess where/how I took this? (Is that actually an eagle?)
That looks like the dilapidated(sp) end of an old Ferry terminal crossing or dock.. so I imagine you were standing at the terminal or edge of the dock.. using some form of zoom lens?
I'm probably way off
I also meant what part of the country ... I just recently returned from visiting my dad up near Tacoma, Washington. It was taken "somewhere" between there and Oakland, California. : )
The bird is an Osprey, but they are a world wide species. So anyone's guess is better than mine where, but I'd guess from the windows of Mo's in Newport, Oregon..
We did see a bald eagle for sure somewhere in southern Oregon on the way up. This was shot near Martinez, California, from the (moving) train as it follows the waterfront between the Benicia and Carquinez bridges towards Pinole and Richmond.
