Since we are going to be heading into our chilly/rainy season soon, I decided to head down to the beach today. There was a bit of a Pacific storm off-shore, so the surf was supposed to be a bit larger than normal this weekend. I figured this would be a good opportunity to play around a bit with the camera I’m test-driving.
I took a TON of photos (over 300), several of which were pretty good, but most were just so-so. After sorting through all of them, there was only one that I would really say I loved. In fact, it brought a huge smile to my face the moment I saw it. I’m calling it “Joy” because that’s the emotion I imagine he’s feeling. I would highly recommend clicking on the image to see the larger version. 
Here are a couple of other random photos from the beach today that I thought were pretty good.
Power
Solitude
When I got back home from the beach, I noticed that the moon was so lovely as it was rising. It just popped out so much against the bright blue afternoon sky. I switched and put the telephoto lens on the camera and snapped this shot off my balcony. I was pretty amazed by the detail it captured. Again, I would high recommend clicking on the image to see the larger version.
Rising Moon
Ok, I’m off now to stitch a bit for the rest of the evening. Until next time …
