Okay... so this weeks adventure wasn't as great as last weeks but... here it goes...

Exploring the Coast with the ULTRA WIDE...

Ryan and I were asked by a local Photographer (Walt Malone) if we could take him on one of our Photo-Adventures.... so... of course... we said ... Yeah... why not...

We loaded up in my truck and went off... off to pick up Walt.... and again... we planned to head out nice and early... BUT... Ryan slept in til about 1o:00... so I ended up doing some errands...(Got My mountain bike fixed... YEEE HAA!).. and then... we call Walt... "ummmm .... give me a half an hour" was heard on the other end of the line... I gues Walt just woke up as well (well... we woke him when we called LOL).. and it's already 11:00... man ... these late in the day trips really suck for bright light... but... you gotta do what you gotta do... hehe

Off to Duck Pond (out close to St. Martins)... to hit the beach. The wind was quite wild and the waves were even better... even though the Tide was going out they were still crashing on the rocks causing great sprays of water...

Over all it was a good afternoon..... we stuck around the beaches for the afternoon..
I think the most interesting part of the day was the Tokina 10-17 FISHEYE lens that I have on loan for testing from Tokina... very cool little lens.

Of course Ryan had to get in front of the camera a few times... he likes the attention I think... maybe he is a little attention starved? Who knows.... all I know is he likes goofing in front of the camera as much as he likes taking pictures....

Here is a link to my mobile me gallery with some of the images for you to view...
Check out the one of Ryan as a broken bottle wielding pirate... very funny....

As for the end of the day.... hmmmm.. can't forget about the food... almost more important than the picture taking..... Off to Walt's place for Spaghetti... good food again this week although the company was a little better... Ryan and I had the pleasure of not only eating with Walt Malone, but, John Beesley stopped by for supper as well... John actually just received the Award of the PPOC(Proffesional Photographers of Canada) Portrait Photographer of the Year.(Well deserved.. John is a very talented photographer and a WIZ at photoshop)...


So,... good day... good weather... good people ... good food.... hmmmmm .... GOOD TIMES!
