Just got back from Virginia Beach. Weather was "iffy" on Thursday, windy
as all get out Friday and Saturday but with mostly blue skies, and was
perfect today with calm seas.

Here's a photo of a relatively new piece of boardwalk art at around 31st
Street on the beach. It's very nice from every angle. Skies were as grey
as old sweatshirts, though.

And here's a shot of some pelicans on beach patrol about 100 feet higher
than a 20 story hotel at 34th Street.

They were diving the waters a few minutes later, but were waaaaaay out
of range.

What lens and camera did you use for those, Harry?

The camera and lens I brought with me. Why is that so important to you?

Interest only, Harry. Don't fret it.

But apparently he does fret it, big time. After I outed him using the D200
on the Breezy Point photo, he now strips out the metadata of his photos
before posting. He's even gone so far as to edit the metadata in the Breezy
Point photo so that the camera model now shows "NYOB". He's a bit of a
dullard on the draw, but he does eventually catch on. Odd that he spends
more time covering his tracks than the rest of us spend making them. Oh
what a tangled web we weave...

And for God's sake Harry, out of mercy for the rest of us, take a few
lessons in composition, will ya?

Couple of new posts over there for you, John.

I wouldn't be embarrassed by using a D200 and a zoom lens, unless I'd spent
hours writing about how little each had to offer!

I'll check out your pics. Nice, especially the one with the ducks. Did you
play with the colors on the otter picture, or were those natural? I wonder
what the dinner pic would look like if you'd cranked the ISO up to about
1000?
