Throwback Thursday View - 6 June 2019 Edition

Welcome To The Exploration Photography Daily View

Today we travel back to June 6, 2015 in Wildwood Crest New Jersey. As you can see it was a rather dreary day on the beach. In fact we spent maybe 10 minutes out by the water when it started to pour rain. But a rainy day at the shore is still a good day.

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

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View And Weekly Roundup - November 27, 2015

Hi and welcome to the Exploration Photography Daily View and Weekly Roundup!

Well it's been quite a Thanksgiving holiday around here folks. Yesterday Kim and I drove to my Sister's house in North Jersey with Kim's Mom and had a wonderful dinner and get together with family and friends. Even the traffic was agreeable allowing us to make some good time in both directions of the 100 Mile trek. Today however was not as fun. After several months of weight loss and the sudden discovery of a rapidly growing tumor our cat Norton had to be let go. It was a situation that keeping him alive would have been for us and not in his best interest. As hard as it is we know we made the best decision. There was almost no hope that his health would improve at all. So since I was not out shooting today I am going back a few days and sharing one more shot from the Cafe last weekend.

And here is the Weekly Roundup in case you missed a day or want a quick way to go back and take another look.

Exploration Photography Daily View - November 21, 2015

Hi and welcome to the Daily View!

Well it was inevitable but the weather has turned a bit colder and Mother Nature is reminding us that Winter is indeed on the way. So seeing as I didn't get out to shoot today I am sharing a photo that was taken when this past Summer was approaching. How's that sound?

This is from June 6th in Wildwood Crest when Kim and I were on a dolphin watching tour. See it as symbolic of the sunset of Summer/Autumn. But rest assured there will be a new beginning in just a few months. Okay maybe a bit longer but before you know it it'll be here :)

Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

A Long Weekend At the Jersey Shore

Hi there folks! Welcome to Exploration Photography. This past weekend Kim and I took a trip "down the shore" to Wildwood Crest in New Jersey for a long weekend. We tried to spend some time on the beach on Saturday but the weather had different plans for us. Oh I guess we could have stayed out there but when you see the lifeguards running for cover it makes you think twice.

So with rain falling inches per hour you would think the day was ruined. But mother nature was kind to us after all. You see, Kim and I had a Dolphin Watch Dinner Cruise planned and the rain cleared away and gave us plenty of sunshine just in the nick of time. And today I would like to share a handful of photos from this trip. I have a lot more to go through but for now check these out.

These first few were shot before we boarded. And what trip to the shore would be the same without a picture of a seagull?

This is a pirate cruise that was leaving when we got there.

And this is the boat we went out on.

And here are some shots while on the cruise. Yay! We get to hold up traffic!

And here is the Cape May Lighthouse.

And lastly, for today, here is a shot of our boats wake. I also have some video that I will share soon.

And speaking of video check this out. I shot this on the beach earlier in the day before we got rained on.

And that's all for now. But I have plenty more to share. Thanks for visiting and be sure to come back soon.

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - June 7, 2015

Hi there my friends! Kim and I are back from the beach but it's getting late so I will be sharing a Daily View but my full post will have to be put off until tomorrow. But check this out.

I shot this while we were on a dolphin watch cruise. It's not my best work but if you have ever tried to photograph dolphins in the wild you know that it is not easy. I am actually quite happy with this photo.

I have a lot more to share but like I said it will have to wait until tomorrow. Thanks for stopping by!

Until next time...

Exploration Photography Daily View - June 6, 2015

Hi there! Fresh from Wildwood Crest, New Jersey I present to you today's Exploration Photography Daily View. It's a bit of a dreary view but here you go.

This was shot on our trip from the beach back to our room. It was pouring rain and we got very wet. But even in a downpour I found time to snap a few shots off for your viewing pleasure. And if you take a close look you can actually see the rain on the left side of the image.

And I shot a lot of video too. Here is one for now that I made right before the skies opened up on us. Oh and just an FYI...Acuuweather is not so accurate.

Exploration Photography Daily View - June 5, 2015

Hey folks! Welcome to the Exploration Photography Daily View. Kim and I are in Wildwood Crest, New Jersey and while out driving this evening we came across the Cape May National Wildlife Refuge. As many if you have probably figured out by now I am a fan of National Parks and wildlife in general. So we had to check it out. In doing so we found a marsh trail which led to this beautiful scene.

Considering it was rather cloudy, a little dark and this was shot with a camera phone I think it came out nice. I hope we return there for a longer visit. There is lot's to see.

Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time...

August 31, 2014 - Photo Of The Day

Yesterday was a bit overcast at the beach in Wildwood Crest but at least it wasn't raining. Kim and I took advantage of this and spent most of the morning enjoying an oceanfront view from our beach chairs.

Of course you can't go to the shore and not see a seagull or two. So I thought I'd share one with you.

Also, here is a short 16 second video of our view. Take a look.

 

I will be doing a full post of our trip soon. I have a LOT of photos to share. Please check back soon.

Until next time...

August 30, 2014 - Photo Of The Day

Here comes the sun.  I know I shared a sunrise photo with you just a couple of days ago but I have a nicer one for you today. I think so at least. 

Kim and I are on a short trip to Wildwood Crest in New Jersey. As always I had to get up early at least one day to greet the sun. What's really nice this time is that we are staying at a motel on the beach so I didn't have to go far. 

Here is what I got today. 

Please be sure to click on the picture to see it full size. Another example of "The Golden Hour".

Thanks for stopping by and as always...

Until next time...

August 29, 2014 - Photo Of The Day

It's called the "Golden Hour". The hour or so after sunrise and before sunset. This is the very best time for nature and landscape photographers. The sweet spot if you will. It is during this time that the sun's light is at it's friendliest. Today's Photo Of The Day is a good example.

I shot this on the beach in Wildwood Crest this evening about 40 minutes to sunset. Note the golden tone in the sand. If this were taken at noon it would have been washed out and dull.

Oh and the seagull tracks are cool too!

Until next time...
