[Ursidae69]

A small western diamondback rattlesnake in the road before I moved it off the road.

Pelicans

I caught these soaring on the on shore winds at the beach.

Not tack sharp but pretty cool anyway. :sombrero:

Do Aquarium Shots Count?

Here are a couple from the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

How's this for a fancy Seahorse? :wings:

Bery cool. Pelicans are fun to watch at the beach. They're so big, come so close, and are yet, so graceful skimming the waves. Nice shots. Looks like a fun photography outing to me.

Great skills Brad!

Prairie Dogs.

Monterey? Here for a visit I guess?

Nice shot of that sea horse. Can I ask what aperture, shutter speed & ISO you shot it at?

I found my shots blurry and that was using an f/2.8 lens wide open. I don't recall the ISO I had it set too though.

TIA.

My wife and I stayed in a condo near Pajaro Dunes just North of Monterey for the weekend. Nice area.

Yep, the Monterey Bay Aquarium was nice but I also had focus challenges in the low light conditions. I just got lucky on a few. If interested, you can see the rest of them at bgarland.smugmug.com

Pat, From you, I take that as a major compliment. I still have a lot to learn, but I'm enjoying the journey. :sombrero:
