Ponce Inlet is a wonderful place. I spent a couple mornings walking up the beach to the Inlet to watch the Osprey fish. This is a very dynamic place. The Osprey soar in the wind as they look in the brackish waters below where the ocean meets the fresh water of the intercoastal waterway. When they spot a fish, they dive in and grasp it with their talons. I watched this go on for seveal hours pointing my Canon 40D with 70-200L IS lens upward to capture these beautiful creatures. This one seems to be looking right at me! Double click on the picture to see its largest size!

 

Do you think this fish has any idea what is about to down? The Osprey's left talons are firmly grasping the tail, but the right talons are just about to latch onto the body. Look at those talons up close, click on the largest size picture so you can get a good look. What a thrilling hunt it was to watch! Check out the fish eyes, they're about to bug out of its head...

 

I was able to capture this Osprey with my lens as he flew off between the sand dunes at Ponce Inlet. He just caught the fish and was taking it somewhere quiet so he could tear into his dinner. I love the background being sand and sea oats!

 

I was playing around with photo editing on one of my favorite shots from our New York Trip during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

 

Underwater portrait of Carson. It's amazing how clear the pictures turn out.

Aquaman!

 

I got into the fun like the kids and did my own superhero dive. I look like Aquaman with a farmers tan, don't I?

Underwater Video!

I shot this video with my Canon Powershot SD1000 in a waterproof casing. Pretty cool? I like the way it turned out starting above the water, causing the bubbles as I let out the air from my lungs as I submerge. The kids had fun performing for the camera.

Tilted Perspective

 

Getting a little creative with the camera on this one. I think it makes an interesting scene out of an ordinary one. It's cool how you can see Carleigh's foot under the water. The water is quite blue, heh?

Aqua Boy!

 

This was Carson's version of a superhero dive.

Aqua Girl!

 

Carleigh almost looks like a superhero diving into the pool toward my camera! I'm diggin' this new underwater/all-weather photography capability that I have now. Stay tuned, lots more pics to come...

 

Carson diving into our pool like Michael Phelps!

 

The kids underwater in black and white. Classic.

 

Carleigh gives the double thumbs up to underwater photography!

 

I just got this cool underwater housing for my Canon dSLRs and took this self portrait with the kids in our pool today during Tropical Storm Fay. We went swimming while it was raining like crazy, my pool screens were getting blown out, trees were swaying in the strong winds and we were taking underwater pictures! ;)
