Throwback Thursday View - 1 November 2018 Edition

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Today's throwback is kind of unique. Unique in that it is a throwback of a throwback. The original post is from November 1, 2014 and can be viewed by Clicking Here. The photo however is from March 5, 2003 and was shot at Seaworld in San Diego California. Of all of the photos I have shot over the years I'd have to say this is one of my favorites.

Welcome To The "Throwback Thursday" View

Today's throwback post really is just that. It goes back to my early days of digital photography. And it also happens to contain one of my all time favorite images. Shot on March 5, 2003 with the amazing Fuji S602Z at Seaworld in San Diego California is this awesome creature.

The Fuji S602Z was an awesome camera. It was a bit expensive in it's day ringing up at US$750.00 in 2003. That's around US$950.00 today. That doesn't sound like a lot but most long zoom bridge cameras cost much less now. But at the time it was one of the better options out there. I still have that camera. In fact I recently obtained a couple CF memory cards and a CF card reader. Maybe I'll take it out again and have some retro fun. Sounds like a project. Hmm.

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

Exploration Photography Daily View - December 30, 2015

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Moving along with the older photos I would like to get a bit more "vintage" today. For your viewing pleasure (I hope) here is a shot from around 2002. I'm not 100% sure of the year but it's from around there somewhere. I do know however it is SeaWorld in San Diego California. This guy was looking for some more of the minnows I just fed him.

I scanned this from a print that was made from a digital image from my Fuji S602Z camera. Say that 10 times real fast :) I loved that camera and actually still have it but am unable to find a memory card that fits it. Also I am not sure if I have shared this before or not. I don't think so but of I did please enjoy a second look.

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

February 6, 2015 - Photo Of The Day

Hi and welcome to my blog! Today like most Fridays I am sharing one of my "retro" photos. For those who don't know, these photos may be a couple years old or maybe a decade or more old. Today we go back to March 3, 2003 to the world famous San Diego Zoo. San Diego may not have the oldest zoo (Philadelphia has that) but it does have the largest zoo in the nation. And I consider it a "must visit" if you are in the area. And here is today's photo.

This is of course a group of pink flamingos. Also known as a "stand" or "Flamboyance". I shot this with my Fuji S602Z.

I would also like to share yet another shot I made of the moon last week. This was on Saturday after we returned home from Longwood and I just got around to processing it.

And that's it for today. I am glad you stopped by and hope you visit again soon.

Until next time...

November 7, 2014 - Photo Of The Day

It's "Retro" Friday again and today I am sharing another photo from the wonderful San Diego Zoo in California. Like last Friday it is another Koala but this time a couple years earlier. Today we travel back to March 3, 2003. The weather here at home was cold. Very cold. But San Diego was sunny and in the 70's. A perfect zoo day. 

Here is today's photo.

This was shot with my Fuji S602Z digital camera and post processed in Photoshop.

I would also like to share yet another sunrise time lapse. I think this is the best one yet.

Thanks for visiting and please stop back soon.

Until next time...

November 1, 2014 - Photo Of The Day

Welcome to November! Can you believe the year is almost over? Where does the time go?

Today was a busy day. Well, busy doing a lot of waiting. I was doing another "tech upgrade" so to  speak and it took a lot longer than it should have. Seems to be the way it goes anymore.

Anyhow, I feel like this is cheating a little bit but for today's photo I am sharing another "retro" picture. This one is from Seaworld in San Diego and is a couple years earlier than yesterday's. It was shot on March 5, 2003.

This has always been one of my favorite shots and was created using the same Fuji S602Z that I used for yesterday's photo.

Thanks for stopping by. I am still working on some new things but they kind of derailed a little today. I think the delay will actually be a good thing though.

Until next time...

October 31, 2014 - Photo of The Day

Happy Halloween!

It's Friday and that means another "retro" picture for today's photo. I kind of got off track last week and posted a new photo. That's okay though, there are no hard and fast rules here.

Today we go back to February of 2005. This was shot at the San Diego Zoo when Kim, Terry and I went on a cruise from Long Beach California to Ensenada, Mexico.

I captured this with my Fuji S602Z digital camera. By today's standards this is a low tech camera but in it's day it was great. I am still amazed at the quality of some of the photos I shot with it.

Thanks for stopping by. I have lots of projects that I am working on and will be sharing them here in the upcoming weeks so please be sure to check back soon.

Until next time...
