New Pics

[Cupajo]

I took the Fuji out in a 50+ MPH north wind @14F to take these shots of my tide reference rock so that readers can see how much the tide can fluctuate here on the Ct. shore.

At first glance these may not look like different shots, but there are four different shots.

I finally figured out how to size the pics so you can click on them and get a larger view!

The first shot is sized differently than the rest so it doesn't enlarge as much!

This is how far the wind and moon/tide of winter can drop the water level.

At "normal" low tide the stone is a couple of feet deeper in the water!

It would certainly be too blasted cold to take advantage of the low water, but there are times when it gets nearly as low with warmer temperatures and I really look forward to those days!!

The wind has blown the lighter sand away exposing coins etc. and I found a quarter sitting on a sand "post" as I headed back to the warmth of my van.

I hope to have a chance to visually scan the beach before the winds cover everything up again!

GL&HH Friends,

Cupajo, what kind of Fuji are you shooting. My cameras are all large, I've been looking at the J-28's on E-bay to come up with a small shirt pocket shooter that will give me the best bang for the buck. I'd like good zoom and megapixels. What are you using and are you happy with it? Thanks, Ron.

Hi Ron,

There is a post on this page about "a good camera" where I replied about my camera and there are a few pics there too.

It has a digital zoom and macro feature too.

For very close up shots a tripod is a better way to go as even a heartbeat will blur the image at high magnification.

Regards,

CJ
