Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

For today's view I am sharing another shot from our Sunday visit to the beach in Avalon New Jersey. This time though we take to the sky. Well we look up from Monday's view and at least see the sky. And as pretty as it is remember it was very cold and windy. It was worth it though.

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

I mentioned yesterday that Kim and I took a walk on the beach in Avalon, despite the cold and rather heavy winds. Considering we spent an entire Summer full of weekends at the shore we really didn't spend a lot of them actually at the beach. So next year we are going to make it a point to get there more often. After all it's only three miles away from camp. But our lack of visits to the sand wasn't why we went yesterday. Yesterday the sky was partly cloudy and that makes for some good shots over the ocean. And I got a lot of good stuff. Today though I am sharing something a little closer to the ground. There was a lot of seagulls and most of them were very young. If you have ever tried to photograph baby seagulls you probably know how difficult it is to get a good shot. They don't fly a lot but they sure are fast runners. And in the cold wind they seemed even faster. But I did get a few good frames and this is by far my favorite. I don't often name my photos but if I did I would call this one "Follow The Leader".

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Like many if not most weekends down the shore this summer we are getting a good amount of rain. But it's only Friday so perhaps we'll get a couple good days. And it's not a complete washout either. I even found some time to make a few snapshots. For today's photo I am sharing this one from just outside of Avalon.

That will do it for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Today's mobile update is actually from last week when we were on the beach in Avalon New Jersey. These beautiful blue skies didn't last too long. By late evening it started raining.

That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!

I am writing this as I sit on the beach in Avalon New Jersey and I am here to tell you it is hot and humid. And very crowded. I shot this photo as this hungry seagull was hunting for people's leftovers. It's not the best of quality because I used the zoom on my camera phone.

That's all for now. Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Continuing with my weekend snapshots I would like to share this view of the beach at Avalon from a few weeks ago. Maybe ( And I do mean Maybe) I'll be able to get some shots with actual sunshine one of these days.

That's all for now. Hopefully as this post goes live I will be getting some cool stuff to share with you. Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

In an earlier post I told yo that I didn't want to carry my camera to the beach because of the general rainy weather. So in turn I have been posting snapshots from my phone. Today we continue down that road with a scene I have been wanting to share for a couple weeks now. I have shot it several times with both my camera and my phone, today's post being one of the phone versions. I have a vision for this but I can't seem to get it down. This is the closest I have come though.

I shot this along one of the entrance ways to the beach n Avalon New Jersey.

Remember the good old days when your camera used film instead of a memory card? Remember one hour developing? Well you probably can't get film developed in one hour anymore but you can send it out. There's actually a lot of places that will process your film but with one problem. Most do not return your negatives. For me this is a deal breaker. However there is one place I can fully endorse and you may have even heard of it. Those of you in the say 35 years old and above bracket may remember Clark Color. They had those yellow envelopes that you stuffed your film canisters into and you filled out those little forms mailed it all away and in a few days to a week you received color prints and your negatives back. Well the envelopes changed color and it takes about a week and a half but Clark Color is still around. I have tested them and it's just like the old days. Even the pricing is fair. So if you would like to take a look and perhaps run some film through that old 35mm (come on you know you want to) just Click Here and give it a try.

And that will do it for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Welcome To the Exploration Photography Daily View

Today's view is another snapshot from this past weekend's trip to the Jersey Shore. Like yesterday's this was also shot at Avalon on Sunday afternoon. This time we see one of the many entrances to the sand. You can also see some rain clouds rolling in. And I am here to tell you that it rained. It rained hard and it rained just about all evening. But like I said yesterday we made the best of it and enjoyed some time together in our camper listening to the raindrops hit the metal roof. And to be honest really enjoyed it. But on the other hand some nice dry weekends would be nice too.

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

It seems so far that this might be one of those rainy weekend Summers. Since so far we have had a good amount of rain just about every weekend. And rain doesn't go too well with the shore. But Kim and I are making the best of it and still manage to find pockets of dry weather and head to the beach. Like yesterday when we visited Avalon beach. There was a good number of people there but considering it was a holiday weekend it wasn't all that crowded. As with any beach visit I snapped a lot of photos. This time with my phone. I had the camera in my truck but because of the weather and the salt air in general I left it behind. I still got some good stuff though. Like today's view.

Today's link takes us to the homepage for a small photo tool I use everyday. I use it as my default photo viewer and it's call Irfanview. If you have heard of it and never checked it out you can do so by Clicking Here.  If you use it you know why I use it. It's simply one of the best viewers out there and it's free. Either way take a look to see what's new.

And that will do it for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Kim and I are back from our weekend at the shore (down the shore for those in the Philadelphia region) and that means we are back to regular posts.

It was a rather rainy weekend but it did clear up today. We even saw some sun. Most of Saturday was a wash but toward the end of the day we were able to take a drive to the beach and have a look around. And it was a ghost town. Next week however, rain or shine, it will be packed. Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of Summer and people flood to the shore points to kick it off. We usually don't but since we have a seasonal camp site we will be right there with them.

For today's photo I am sharing this view from Avalon Beach. It's one of those scenes that just caught my eye. I had a few of those that I will show you this week.

Today's link is pretty cool. I visit it often and recommend it to those who enjoy history or at least old photos. There are many sites that offer old photos but this one is a bit different. It's hard to explain so I will just share the link and let you see for yourself. Be sure to click each photo to see it full size. But first Click Here to visit Shorpy.

And that will do it for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Today's view is another late one and it's also another snapshot. Two snapshots actually.

Kim and I had a busy day getting our camp site set up. We rented a seasonal site in Cape May Courthouse that is just four miles away from the beach and will probably spend most of our weekends there this Summer. But there is work to do first. And today's work was cleaning the site and our camper. It was a long day but was worth it. So for today's view I would like to show you what we have done so far.

October 17, 2014 - Photo Of The Day

It's Friday again and that means another "retro" photo. This one is from June 3, 2012.

This is the sunrise shot on the road between Cape May Courthouse and Avalon, New Jersey. I created this image with my Sony DSC-WX9. The quality is not as good as a larger sensor camera but I am pretty pleased with the results.

Thanks for stopping by and please come back soon!
