Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Today's mobile update is a shot from my truck as we were leaving Ocean City New Jersey this afternoon. Kim and I spent much of the day walking along the boardwalk. And what perfect weather for it too. Not too hot and definitely not too cold.

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

Throwback Thursday View - 16 August 2018 Edition

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Today's throwback is from August 16, 2015 and it's subject is among my very favorites. Sunrise at the beach. Although I am at the shore just about every weekend I have yet to get out and shoot the sun this Summer. Maybe I'll do something about that this week. We'll see. For now though enjoy this photo.

Throwback Thursday View - 29 March 2018 Edition

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Today's throwback takes us back to March 29, 2015 in Ocean City Maryland. The subject is by far my favorite though I haven't shot it in a while. But I think today's post may inspire me to get out there early one morning to greet everyone's favorite star. Our Sun.

Exploration Photography Daily View - January 30, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

I had planned on getting out to shoot today but with all of our errands it just didn't happen. So I thought about it and since I have been sharing a lot of snow photos lately, how about I post something a little more summery? So I dug into the archives and found this shot from June 2012 in Ocean City, New Jersey.

A bit overcast but I assure you it was a lot warmer than it is now. And no snow! This was a short day trip to OC on our way home from a week long camping trip in Cape May Courthouse. And if I remember correctly Kim and I met up with my sister Kathy and my brother-in-law Joe. It was my first time there but Ocean City has since become one of my favorite vacation destinations. It is a true family friendly beach town. Hopefully we'll get there a time or two this Summer. And if we do you know I'll share it with you in photos :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - January 22, 2016

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

The big one is upon us my friends. The first real snow storm of the season and according to most forecasts we are getting at least 18 inches of the horrid white stuff. And I am sure I will have plenty of photos to share real soon but for now I would prefer to look back at a sunnier and warmer time.

This is an aerial view of Ocean City New Jersey from August 2015. I shot this from a Ferris Wheel and I can tell you that it sure was warm. Probably about 85° or so.

I haven't forgotten about the Weekly Roundup but it's going to be a day late. So be sure to check back!

Thanks for stopping by and if you have to go out in the snow please be careful!

Until next time...

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Well I wanted to wrap up last weekends trip yesterday but I also said there may be one more photo today. And indeed I would like to share one more. Except this is not from Virginia Beach. On our way home we made a stop in one of our favorite vacation destinations. Ocean City Maryland. It was a short stop over but I managed to grab some shots while we were there. And today I share this one with you.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi folks! It looks like it's gonna be a long day so I am going to do a mobile post on my regular blog.

This is the view from atop the ferris wheel at Gillian's Wonderland Pier in beautiful Ocean City New Jersey. 

 

And be sure to check back because I should have lots to share with you.

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - August 20, 2015

Today to wrap up our recent trip to Ocean City Maryland I think it is fitting to share the last sunset I shot last weekend. I shared a similar photo last Friday but I like this one a lot better. Though there is always room for improvement :)

What a beautiful scene to wrap up a great weekend.

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - August 19, 2015

Good evening my friends! Or good morning/afternoon depending on when you are reading this.

Today I continue to share from our recent trip to Ocean City Maryland with this shot of a landmark on the boardwalk. Ocean Gallery.

And I know it's hard to see but if you look at the "Y" in the orange "GALLERY" and glance down a little there is a live webcam of the boardwalk. You can check it out at this link. Pretty cool!

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - August 18, 2015

What trip to the shore would be complete without a photo or two of a seagull? For me none. But I am not sharing a seagull today. I am sharing seven!

On Sunday as we strolled the Ocean City Boardwalk before the long drive home I glanced up at the roof line of one of the many shops and saw these guys standing in readiness for someone to drop some food.

 
I am sure they had many a feast. The place was packed and everyone seemed to be eating something.

And on another note here is a video of Sunday morning's sunrise. It's just short of 14 minutes and if you would like to skip right to the sun it starts to rise at about 7 minutes an 10 seconds.

And that's it for today. Thanks for stopping by and please be sure to come back soon.

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - August 17, 2015

Hi there and welcome to the Daily View!

For the past couple of days I have shared one of my favorite subjects. The sunrise. And a sunrise over the ocean is even better. But there is more to the shore than sunrises. Today and for probably the next few days I will share some of these other points of interest.

On Saturday morning well after sunrise and right after we ate breakfast Kim was looking out at the ocean and saw this passing by.

Frontier Town is a campground/theme park located just outside of Ocean City Maryland. I have never been there but it looks kind of fun. And I think this is very clever advertising. After all everyone is looking at the ocean.

Thanks for stopping by my friends. I'll see you again soon here at the blog.

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - August 16, 2015

Hi there and welcome to the Exploration Photography Daily View!

Well after a long weekend in Ocean City Maryland we are finally home. it's about a three hour ride each way and the traffic this time of year is horrendous. But it was a great time and worth every minute.

Today (tonight) I would like to once again share a sunrise over the ocean with you. I was very pleased with yesterday's but I like this one a lot more. Please take a look.

What do you think?

And that is all for today. It's late and I sure am beat. But I'll be back real soon. I hope to see you again here at the blog. And if you get a chance take a look at my new blog Exploration Photography Mobile.

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - August 15, 2015

Hello from Ocean City and welcome to the Exploration Photography Daily View!

It's been quite a while since I have shared a sunrise photo here but today I have a really nice one for you. So without further delay...

One of the first things I did when we arrived down here in OC Maryland was check the weekend weather and the time that sunrise occurred. Well the weather was perfect and I made sure I was up at least fifteen minutes ahead of time. Luckily we have a patio on the twelfth floor that sits oceanfront and I was able to prep my cameras the night before. Everything came together and I captured fifty or so frames. I also recorded a really cool video. It's a bit lengthy but I am so glad I started early. Take a look at it and be sure to watch the bottom of the frame closely.

Did you see the dolphins? I have never seen them so close to the shore. They hung around until right after the sun broke the horizon. So cool!

And before I go I have a link I would like to share with you. For the past week or so I have told you that I was working on a new project. Well I ran through it in my head for quite some time and today it has finally gone live. I have created a second blog that I am dedicating strictly to mobile photography. And I call it Exploration Photography Mobile . Catchy huh?! This is still a work in progress and will likely evolve over time but the main principle will remain. Posting photos and videos from my phone. Please check it out and let me know what you think. It should be a lot of fun.

And that's all for now. Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope to see you again at the blog(s).

Until next time...

Hi and welcome to another late evening Daily View! Kim and I are on a short weekend getaway and traveling took up a lot of our time. Plus checking in and getting settled in. But I did have time to grab a couple of shots. I have to say that I am not 100% pleased with what I am sharing today but I think it came out okay.

This is the sun setting over the bay in Ocean City, Maryland. Sunsets have never really been my thing but sunrises on the other hand... I hope to capture some nice shots over the weekend. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

Thanks for stopping by my friends!

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - June 10, 2015

Hi folks! Welcome to the Exploration Photography Daily View. Today I would like to share another photo from our trip to the shore this past weekend.

This is a view of Ocean City, New Jersey shot from the top of the Ferris Wheel at Gillian's Wonderland Pier on the Boardwalk. After all of the rain the day before we were lucky enough to get this beautiful scene.

And in addition to the Daily View I would also like to share a video with you. This was shot at the Avian cafe this afternoon. It's about 7 1/2 minutes long and I feel is some of the best video I have recorded so far. You get a close up look at a lot of birds. Please be sure to watch it in 1080P and also turn up the volume a bit. Most importantly, enjoy!

There were tons of seagulls as usual but I snapped this lucky shot just at the right moment. I always try to photograph birds in flight but am not usually this successful.

Thanks for stopping by my friends!

April 1, 2015 - Photo of The Day

Welcome to April folks. I love April. April brings with it the beginning of baseball season and that means warmer weather. Two of my favorite things. So how about I share with you a touch of Spring with some more photos from Ocean City, Maryland from last weekend? Well at least the "look" of Spring because I can tell you that it was not warm. Today we have a few shots I made of the boardwalk.

All of these were shot on Saturday. The first two early in the day and the third one around 5:00 PM. Notice how empty it is? Well if I were to go back and shoot these on a Saturday a few weeks from now it would be packed. I just might have to do that. Another thing that I never noticed before is how much narrower the boardwalk is when compared to Ocean City, New Jersey. To be honest though I can't really pick a favorite. They are both very similar and at the same time very different. I would have to say that the biggest difference comes down to real estate. Ocean City, Maryland has numerous high rises and many oceanfront hotels and condominiums whereas New Jersey has a smaller look and a lot more vintage motels. And I like it that way. It makes each one a different experience.

And I am wrapping it up for now. I'll be back real soon with more photos including some more of the amaryllis. Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time...

March 30, 2015 - Photo of The Day

Well it's Monday and that means it was back to work. I had a lot of things to catch up on after being away on a three day weekend and it is getting late so this will be a quick one.

Today I would like to share a few more photos from our trip to Assateague on Saturday. This first one is a panorama I shot along the side of a road in the park. It is made up of four separate frames and was merged in Photoshop.

Here is a sign warning us about the dangers of the wild horses. Very professional and what a great representation of a horse.

And how about a couple shots of the horses. These were nowhere near the beach by the way.

And what trip to a shore town would be complete without a seagull?

And I also have another video for you. This is from the beach on Sunday morning and is about five minutes long. I think you will like it.

And here is a shot of our Amaryllis. Two more flowers are opening and there is still one more bud. That will make four flowers in all.

And that's all for now folks. Not bad for a quick post huh? Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time...

March 29, 2015 - Photo Of The Day

Well we're home from Ocean City and it's back to work tomorrow. I have a lot to show you but today I am going to share one photo from our trip. Okay well one photo and maybe a video or two. So let's get started. Here is this mornings morning sky. This was shot about five minutes after sunrise. I did get the sunrise but I am still working on the final version.

I may not have finished the sunrise photo yet but I did get a pretty good video. It's kind of long but you can always fast forward if you like. Check it out at the link below.

And that's all for now. But I will be back real soon with a lot more. Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time...
