I was talking my usual sunrise stroll when I caught this shot. D100, 80-400 f4.5-5.6D VR lens, ISO 400, 750 sec f/8.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    After or before your morning walk? :roll

    Hi, I'm ginger. I stumble outside, see a 4X4 backyard,while begging the dogs to hurry and think business.

    However, I do have an egret somewhere, not as nice as yours though.
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    Hi Ginger,

    Since I moved to Florida last month I got more room to stumble around in. rolleyes1.gif

    I've had some good luck these last few mornings with wildlife and some exquisite lighting. What a change from NYC. Its a lot easier shooting now that I don't have to drag Andy around with me any more. :D

    I was thinking of you the other night while ordering something from B&H (boy do I miss that place). It was strange buying something from them w/o you ordering some new lens at the same time. Get your sizeable butt down to Florida so we can do some shooting again. rolleyes1.gif

    Hey Sid,

    I do miss the photo ops provided by NYC, especially the candids of folks. I loved shooting in the subways, of course that may be illegal now anyhow.

    Harry, re illegal shooting. Gotta thank homeland security for something.

    That is a great shot of Andy, a little too good looking, wonder if he likes that image. Great sharpening, bothers me a bit. All in all, I love seeing it, thank you.

    Where are you in Florida. My sister is in Miami. My son in law's family is scattered across the mid to Orlando area, both sides, I think, of Florida.
    I assume you didn't run into any hurricanes while walking.

    Did you retire? Or can you just work from anywhere?
    Don't worry about the law while shooting, that is my working theory.
    Course, you might not get access anymore. Homeland security.

    Or you can be deaf like me, they tell me I can't shoot somewhere, I can't hear them. My husband tries to sweet talk them, if he is along. Often works, but not those homeland people. I don't run into them here.

    Hi Ginger,

    I'm living in Viera which is in Brevard County just a tad south of Cape Canaveral on the Atlantic side. I moved here in July after 57 years in NYC. I'm retired and loving it. thumb.gif

    I haven't been bothered by the security paranoia since getting down here but it was getting out of hand in NYC. Once Andy and I were pulled off the subway by the police and questioned while the train waited for us. sad.gif

    Oh, Harry, that makes me feel so much better. He even put on a little weight there, didn't he?

    Or it is all the clothes.

    I brought a dog home, a puppy, from DC to Charleston last October, expected the airport to drive me nuts, it did. But a friend came with me, since I am hard of hearing, she really smoothed my way. They let her through to interpret for me til I boarded, but she was searched every which way. Now the dog, she could have smuggled just about anything in. Maybe I shouldn't give people, or dogs, ideas.

    Also went to the tree lighting in DC, the one after 9/11. They searched everything, and since they elevated that security, I see it is still going on. Can't park, I understand it was bad before, but........ I don't think we have the money here to get fully involved. A bunch of retired men go out in their own boats and look for suspicious activity, since our port is vulnerable, and we do still have military things.

    So, we are protected by men in their sixties, in small boats, floating around looking for suspicious "things". That has to be oral, don't know how to get a photo of the irony there. Suggestion? I am sure they are not wearing sweatshirts announcing their purpose. Just drift the waters, a beer or two, imagine the scene.

    ginger (I don't sweat it, worry a lot about flying: mechanical and pilot error. Same old stuff, just one more thing to "worry" about, I do that well, but my list is long, has been long, some things I might never get to on a full worry.)

    the adventures of harry and andy
    are well documented on dpreview's sony talk forum.

    harry and i spent the better part of a year shooting up nyc like nobody's business :D and we ate in the finest restaurants all over town.

    i'll dig up some old posts but here's the very last harry and andy post:

    I wonder if his hair got messed up eating those ribs. Love your hair Andy!
    But just a tad messed.......

    I love ribs, too. Haven't had any in over a year. I would love to eat my way through this town, NYC would be a dream.

    Love that photo, Harry. Keep them coming!


    We have been waiting for you, surprised that Andy let you in,rolleyes1.gif
    Did you all get paid to eat, or did you just put it down as a business expense?
    I have heard that eating in that part of the world is expensive, as though it is not everywhere.

    ginger

    There used to be a great rib place outside of Pompano Beach, Florida. We could shoot our way around south florida, the part that is really the North. I'll come! Lots of diversity. Enough for lots of good stuff. (And I hear that in that part of the country it is considered that it is always 5 O'clock Somewhere:) just getting ready for the next assignment, no not doing it, just thinking it. Me, the non drinker, every bar in this area. that is my new song.

    Along with Tom T Hall's Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine, of course.

    Either of you read Carl Hiassen? Think that is how to spell it.
