p.1 #1 · Weekend Study of Light

Here's a selection from this weekend at Bolsa Chica in "the study of light". The colors and look of these are pretty true to how they were shot with only minor tweaks. Several are uncropped.

#1 "By the dawn's early light."

#2 Here's a shot of the same location from last year. See the "field goal" position of the sun between the two posts?

Waiting a bit gives you lighting like these.

#3 Brown Pelican

#4 Great Egret

#5 Snowy Egret

Down on the water .................
#6 Brown Pelican (uncropped)

A little "afternoon delight"
#7 Snowy Egret making a big splash fishing (uncropped)

"Twilight still gleaming"
#8 Ruddy Duck

#9 Another Ruddy shot

#10 Eared Grebe (uncropped)

Love the light this time of year.

Nice set, Ken.
I like 8 & 9. Not often that I see ruddy ducks photographed. I'm still trying to get a shot of one of the few reported loon in the area.

You're right Ken, the golden hour light is even better in the Fall.

I like the Pelican and Ruddy Duck pics best... 6 and 8.
Very nice study... is there going to be a test

Excellent images, Ken. I do quite like the early morning shots. #3 is probably my favorite.

I would like 1 and 2 a lot more if it weren't for the goal posts. To me, they are unfortunate... I'm not exactly the biggest humanist.

Well, I didn't get an extra hour of sleep with the time change. It was worth getting up early to get those shots.

The Ruddys are not in breeding color, but I still liked the look.
I hear you on the Loons. We have one or two that stop here during the year. Sometimes they cooperate by coming in close, but other times you're lucky if they just give you a "documentation" shot.

The beauty of that 500 mm is the mobility and hand-hold-ability that it affords. It would be a shame not to let it go through its paces in the back.

With my sleepless nights due to work, I'm managing to be awake early in the morning. No problem in being there at the crack of dawn.
