I went to take some pictures along the coast, but the wind and traffic were just too bad, so I decided it was better to do some backyard exploring. I found this little guy, less than a half inch total, and took his picture with a 400mm lens with a 35mm extension tube, not the best in the wind

Here is wishing you all a great 2009

Took the grandkids to the Jacksonville Zoo today, along with the rest of the state of Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. Was a little crowded to say the least, but it was a good time for the kids. Took some snapshots of the animals and the kids, but other than that there were just too many people and this was a kids activity, so the quality was just so so.

After a long and wet, foggy, and crazy drive, I have arrived in St. Augustine, Fl. The weather is nice, 75 and sunny, so I got out and took a couple of images just to check out what was new since last time here. Lots more people on my usual hangouts, so maybe after the weekend it will not be so busy and I can find the birds and creatures I was going to shoot. So, here are a couple from today low crawing around the yard and near the house.

I am packing and getting ready to go to St. Augustine to spend a few days taking some pictures, playing some golf and goofing off with the grandkids. Just wanted to wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Joyful New Year.
Looking forward to posting some good news on the blog and sharing with you.

Sorry that I have not put up any new posts, been a really bad time for photography. But, I have been working on the new Photoshop CS4, and it rocks to use the NAPP buzz word. Some of the new features will make the post photo workflow so much better and give you lots of options in Camera Raw 5 and be non-destructive to your images.
I hope to post some tips soon, so check back and maybe I will have some pre and post images to demonstrate the features.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
