Here are a couple of more fireworks shots from the 4th of July in Long Beach overlooking the Queen Mary that I managed to process recently. All comments are welcome, Jim #1 - 1.3 secs, ISO 800, f5.6 #2 - 1.3 secs, ISO 800, f8 #3 - 15 sec exposure to capture more fireworks in one frame -...

I went down to Long Beach to watch the fireworks last night. I wanted to get the fireworks to go off next to the Queen Mary, it was a bit of guess work as I wasn't positive where from the area I was at as to where the fireworks would shoot off from. Here is 2 that I have processed so far. All...

This is from Thursday afternoon at Bolsa Chica Wetlands in Huntington Beach. I was using the Tamron 150-600mm G2 on my Nikon D850. I am downloading an app to help ID birds, but for now I wanted to post these 2 views of the same bird. All comments are welcome, Jim

Alan will like this one! :) This is from Bolsa Chica Wetlands looking across to the Bolsa Chica State Beach. This was with the Tamron 150-600mm on the Nikon D850 in crop mode at 260mm at a distance of a 1/4 to 1/2 mile away. I could have switched to full frame mode, but then I would have had to...

I was at Bolsa Chica Wildlife Preserve shooting birds and testing out different things with the new Tamron 150-600mm lens. I did shoot lot's of nameless birds. I had gotten there late in the afternoon so there wasn't much time before the sun was setting towards the horizon. As I looked over to...

Another shot from Long Beach California that I took with Dave (Thorhammer) a few weeks back. Looking back it was a rich environment we went into. I know I came back with a treasure trove of photos. Jim

Out in a food district in Long Beach waiting for Mom.

I think that's what it says, a bit hard to tell. But this was a cool brick wall on the side of an old building in Long Beach California.

From Long Beach California one fine evening.

As Dave (Thorhammer) and I headed back to our cars after a successful evening of shooting in Long Beach California we spotted that the moon was now almost above the beams of light. It didn't take too much moving on our part to get the moon line up with the beams. It was kind of cool to see...

In Long Beach last weekend with Dave (Thorhammer) as we walked and the evening started to darken more we saw this one building which had these 4 beams shooting up into the sky. If you look back at Dave's shots you will see where these beams later in the evening lined up with the moon in the sky...

Caught this couple passing by on some bikes. Again in Long Beach California from last weekend. All comments are welcome, Jim

Down in Long Beach last weekend with Dave, I caught this old lady with the US flag over her cart walking across the cross walk at the same time as these other guys were walking the other way. One thing I noticed back at home was because I was panning with the lady as she walked across the...

Another one from last Friday shooting with Dave (Thorhammer) in Long Beach California. I was really happy with how this turned out the VR worked great since I was shooting at 80mm at 1/20th of a sec on the Nikon 24-120mm. All comments are welcome, Jim

I met up with Dave (Thorhammer) last Friday evening for a bit of Street and City photography in the port city of Long Beach in SoCal. Here is a scene we came across pretty early in our shooting. The contrast between the Traveling words and the apparently non traveling RV was interesting. This...

This was a bit after my first Blood Moon, going wider and getting it with the local oil rigs and port area of Long Beach California. All comments are welcome, Jim
