In contrast to the cloudy gloom of June, Southern California has been pretty sunny in July. Unfortunately, there\'s been a heat wave of late. Finally, got a chance to get out to Bolsa Chica for a walk and some fresh air yesterday, saw some friends there. \"Hello!\"
This post is the continuation of part I which can be seen here https://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/topic/778472. The tough part is to try and not repeat myself. It is the artist in me that always looks for new ways to be creative. Follow me through this longgggggg post, I hope it will be worth your time.
All taken with the D300, most of them with the poor man\'s 500mm (300mm f4 + 1.7x TC). [Yes I know I\'m poor, but I got a family to feed] , some taken with a wide angle, WIDE ANGLE!
C & C would be appreciated.
#1 A little environment was included to show the spot were all this action took place.
#2 I had many failed attempts with this particular \"moment-before-impact\" shot using the burst mode. The D300 has a burst rate of only 8fps, and it kept missing the key moment, so I decided to switch to single exposure mode, and nailed it after 3 tries.
#3 Most of the time they come up empty, no fish!
#4 No fish, but nice pose
#5 Nothing spectacular, I just like the bokeh in this one.
#6 Hey, what\'s going on down there? Check it out!
#7 Going down
#8 Got a fish (small). Love that cascading water!
#9 It\'s a frenzy
#10-14 Here come the big fishies! Get ready for some intense fishing action in the next sequence, folks. Enjoy!
#15 Not everyone caught a fish, however. Better luck next time, junior!... You know how hard it is to take a closeup of a flying tern.
#16 Happy fisherbird at BC
That brings this series to a close. You can visit www.ndshow.com to see more. Thank you for having a look.
