Sea Scape: Abstract 1 and 2; Catalina Island California

Sea Scape Abstract 1; Catalina Island California

Abstract 1: While on a weekend camping trip to Catalina Island at the end of August i decided to try a new take on a sea scape. The Fist done with large f-stop and shutter open for 1/2 second, gave the blurring effect.  The blue is near true to color but is upped in Light-room.  The opacity comes from the use of polarizer.

Abstract 2: the opposite done with shutter @ 1/160 th of a second and 5.6 f-stop.

Overall Trying a different take on ocean scape photography.  I love the ocean and i love the sea shore but its time something new was attempted.  I think these are somewhat successful and may follow up with other ocean locations.

False Jellies

I found the interesting while walking on Ventura Beach in late February.  To me these look like Jelly Fish something i have already fallen in love with photographing.  These were rocks in the sand that the receding water left delicate tentacles behind like the water dancing jellies.

Day 6

For day 6 which should have been posted yesterday more Jelly Fish. Sorry if any body is actually reading this but yesterday was a long day at work.

I enjoy the way these creatures appear to be dancing gracefully through a stage of one of the most volatile things on earth.

The ocean can reshape the earth in minuts yet the creatures playfully dance through their liquid stage. Next time you go to an aquarium spend some time with these creatures and watch them as they move.

Day 2 more jellies

None of these are brand new yet, but any way this is another in my Jellyfish series. I love they way the look like dancers or faries in their aquatic domains. These simpilest of creatures.

Day one part 2

Ok in the interest of trying to make this more frequently I am going to start with a few that are a little bit older until i start getting in the habit of carrying my camera around again.

So to start this off i am going to post my series of jellies. I lve jellie fish and i hope some day to be able to actually dive near them and get live photos. This series was photographed at the Scripps and Monterey Bay aquariums in california. I plan to keep this series going so you readers you may see repeated eventually and i hope that you enjoy my interpretation of these amazing creatures.
