//Â In Plain Sight Blog with Nate Collins PhotoÂ
A little bit of a revision to the blog posts here: I’m combining my favorite shots from the week and will be adding a quick video go through (mainly for the SEO bonus, but maybe I’ll have something interesting to say here and there…)
Scroll down for more details on these photos including the camera settings.
Images below are posted at 1060×706 at 72dpi. Full size images available for printing / image licensing.
Above:
First an early light look at a Brown Pelican on Point La Jolla. I enjoy shooting at first light because it offers a chance to use the beams of light to create more motion. And there’s less people…
Then a pair of Long Billed Curlews spar along the San Diego River off the Quivira Jetty.
The next day I found myself at the Cove again and really enjoyed the shots of the Sea Lion with waves crashing in. I enjoy the details along the crashing wave in particular.
Below:
A handful of looks along Point La Jolla of Brown Pelicans.
The Pelicans with the darker head are juveniles while those with the white head and red highlights are breeding age.
The photo with the younger Pelican’s mouth open and neck extended is a good look at it’s gular pouch details.
Below:
Another early morning down in La Jolla.
There’s a pair of long exposure shots from before sunrise. The long shutter allows the waves’ whitewash to become a wispy, almost smokey look.
Then a pair of photos showing the amount of water that was moving in the large wave along the rock perimeter of La Jolla Cove.
Probably my favorite – although maybe I need to go through lightroom a little more on it: but the Sea Lion pups playing tug of was was pretty damn cute I gotta say….
Below:
Last pair of shots from this week were from the San Diego River of a Reddish Egret.
Something about the Reddish Egret is an enjoyable shot. I don’t see them every time, they tend to be alone, etc. But, when you get to see one up close there’s awesome color details and textures. I particularly like the multiple colors in the beak.
Hope you enjoyed the photos and thanks for the read!
