This DC-3 was beautifully restored by veteran pilot Clay Lacy. He brought it back to luxury airline condition as it would have been when it was flown for TWA. I love living in a place where I can walk out my front door and see such awesome aircraft. Van Nuys airport FTW!
It's terrible, but I don't remember that name of these creatures. I think they're some kind of anemone, but I'm not sure. Anyway, I thought they looked cool, so let's call them Awesome Anemone.
Mmmm, long exposures. So many cool things can happen when you point your camera at something cool and just leave the shutter open for a while. I've long admired the ghostly looking water in other people's images, so when I saw this view from the balcony of my hotel room, I had to give it a try.
There's lots of trial and error that goes into getting an image like this. The exposure here was about 4 seconds, and I waited until a big wave crashed on the rock in the middle. I took about 10 other shots that were pretty blah, but it all came together on this one. Experiment. You might come up with something cool!
I find jellyfish endlessly fascinating. Their movements seem so random, but they always get where they're going. Or maybe they don't really have any place to go, and they're just happy wherever they end up.
See, I told you I was back for reals! From the big to the small, today we see the tiny world of shrimp while they're feeding. No really, they're in there!
I apologize for the long absence, but work kinda snuck up on me. I'm back with a full week of new images though! I generally try to vary the subject of my images during the week, but this week I definitely found myself drawn to watery images. Maybe this has something to do with my recent trip to Monterey and Big Sur. ;) So you can look forward to images of the sea and the creatures that live within it. To kick things off, here's an image from Big Sur around that delectable time of day. Delectable? Yeah, good light seems tasty to me.
The 17 Mile drive between Monterey and Carmel is just specatcular. Beautiful rugged coastline and some pretty stunning homes. Yep, it was cold. My poor Southern California body could hardly stand it! ;)
