Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View
For today's view I would like to share this shot of the jetty at Stone Harbor Point Beach. This is from our Saturday evening trip. As I mentioned in yesterday's post we have never been there before but will certainly be returning. It's one of those places that was right under our noses but we just never made made it to before. I'm sure there's others out there too.
That's all for today. Thanks for stopping by!
Until next time...
Kim and I are still in Ocean City, Maryland and though I wasn't convinced it would the sun finally arrived too. Of course it brought a lot of wind and cold weather with it. Some snow too. But even in all of this I managed to grab a lot of photos. And I got some really good one's too. Today I would like to share a few with you. So let's get right to it shall we?
These first two were shot right off the Ocean City Boardwalk.
I actually shot a similar photo of this jetty a few years back. It was good but I have been wanting to redo it for a while. I'm not 100 percent sure that I am satisfied with this but I have plenty of shots to work with. I may share an updated version later on.
This is a different and smaller jetty about 6 or 7 blocks away from the first one.
I grabbed this next shot after I happened to look up and saw that the sun was apparently muted in the clouds and atmosphere. Truthfully I do not know what causes this and will have to read up on it. What I do know is that when it does happen it is nice to have my camera ready.
Yes. That is the sun. Kind of looks like the moon doesn't it?
Now this last shot was made when we took a drive over to Assateague Island. I am actually quite amazed that it came out as good as it did. When I shot this it was very cold and windy. I am talking about 37° with 30 MPH winds. Not friendly for holding a camera still and even more difficult at a long zoom. This horse was about 50 yards away.
I am sure most of you know about the wild horses of Assateague but for those who don't you can check out this link. This is one of about 120 wild horses on the northern part of the island.
And before I go we have today's "Amaryllis Watch" photo. Now I am obviously not at home and could not shoot this myself. So for today I have a "guest photographer". Our son Terry sent me a picture he shot with his IPhone. Being that it was sent in a text and of course compressed it became slightly degraded but you will get the idea. It is really starting to bloom. I am sure that by tomorrow it will be fully open. Thanks for the assistance Terry!
And I have one more thing to show you. Here is a video of our drive through Assateague.

And that is all for now folks. I thank you for stopping by and reading (and of course looking). Please be sure to come back real soon. I have a lot more to share.
Until next time...
While out on a photo shoot there is something I sometimes do that often yields great results. Something really simple yet not as common as it should be. I turn around. I can be shooting an amazing subject but I turn around and get the best photo of the day. This is not always the case but is is something that sometimes works. More often though the image I am able to create is good in it's own right but not necessarily better than my main subject. I believe that to be the case with today's photo.
This was shot from the same place I shot the sunrise photo I shared yesterday. Just in a different direction. I feel that this came out well but I still like the sunrise better. Others may feel differently and that is the great thing about photography and actually all art. It is subjective. That is a great thing!
What is your opinion? I would love to hear it.
Please take a moment and check out some more of my photography here if you like. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Until next time...
It was a cloudy day here in Ocean City. The forecast was calling for a lot of rain but we were pretty lucky. The rain held off until around 4 PM and didn't last long.
During a stroll up the boardwalk I decided to step off onto the beach and shoot some photos of a jetty with the waves breaking on it. And the waves were strong. Very strong indeed. Take a look.
This goes to show that even in rough waters nature can be beautiful.
Until next time...
