"Evening"

"Anchored"

Wow the weather I believe has finally made that change into spring like temps and with daylight saving time in effect there is plenty of photographing to do. I was on my way to our worship band practice an as I was crossing over the first bridge on Colington Road I saw this old net boat anchored in a nice pool of calm water with the evening sun reflecting it's rusted side so I made a u-turn and here is the result. I have to thank the kind owners of the Colington Creek Inn a beautiful Bed & Breakfast for letting me and my tripod capture this moment. If your ever in this area look this place up you won't regret it, and maybe this scene will replay itself once again.

"Simplicity"

"Simlicity"

I truly believe springtime has arrived on the OBX. What a beautiful day of warmth and Carolina Blue skies and as the evening came I new I had to shoot some sunset photos. This was one of the last frames I shot about a half hour after the sun went down. After looking up the title word I knew it fit perfectly. Webster's definition is "a thing that is plain, natural, easy to understand,

the simplicities of pastoral living. The perfect word for a perfect day God has made.

"Red,White, & Blue OBX Style"

"The American Bald Eagle"

I have to truly say if I could do one thing the rest of my life everyday I'm talking about it would be to photograph these magnificent birds. This image was taken yesterday as I was checking on the nest. I have to also say this is one of the hardest birds to photograph in flight when they are swooping down on you filling your frame. The sheer speed this bird generates in flight is amazing so trying to spot focus on their eye is hard to say the least, not to mention your handholding your lens and spinning in cycles.

"Motion"

"OBX STYLE"

Oh Boy the sun was shinning and the ocean was pumping and that means surf photography was the platter for the day. I even took a bit of sunburn as the day progressed into some fine waves.

This shot is of Noah Snyder as he was doing some jet ski take offs tuning up for bigger swells to come. As the morning sun highlighted the ocean I tried a few motion shots for a more artsy look and this was the outcome of my efforts.
