Kirk > There is something very relaxing about the motion of waves as they roll in and break along the shore.
Kirk > I didn't have my tripod with me for this shot so I was lucky it turned out. I wanted a long exposure so the motion of the crashing wave would explode off the rocks. This was 1/13 of a second hand held. It worked.
Kirk > The pelicans would fly around at low tide looking for fish in the shallows. Once a meal was spotted they would dive from 40 or 50 feet hitting the water hard. They would come back up to the surface after a second or two, and if successful, fly to the rocks to enjoy their catch.
Kirk > This was a lucky shot. We were in Old Town State Park in San Diego and this street performer was playing his banjo for some children. I pressed the shutter at the split second he spun the banjo and then continued on with the song. While I was there he didn't repeat the move so this was truly a right place at the right time sort of shot
Kirk > At first glance there doesn't seem to be any motion or action in this image. These are the tide pools at low tide on the west side of Point Loma in San Diego. Look closely and you will see the individual rain drops hitting the water, creating a ripple effect.
Kirk > I wanted pictures of Surfers for this theme and there were plenty in the cold waters along the southern coast of California. But they were so far out. This was shot with a 200mm lens and then cropped to focus on the action.
Kirk > I had already shot a surfer for this theme, but the late afternoon sun back lit the breaking waves producing an emerald green that begged to be shot. The surfer just added to the action.
Kirk > I sent my youngest, Sean, out on this rock just to get this shot. His mother was not happy with either of us. We took about 20 shots to get a good one.
Kirk > Even though pelicans are big birds they are very graceful in the air. I was fortunate to get this close up showing the detail of his feathers.
