Marilynne's Wetlands and Other Stuff

[Marilynne]

Had lunch out with my hubby, then headed to the Boynton Beach Inlet aka Ocean Inlet Park. These are my first ever people photos inspired by RickSawThat.

90 years young and still going strong!

Fishing

Marilynne,

Loved the colors in the scenes, so vivid! The B&W Portraits are inspiring... what lens did you use for those? I also have a D5100.

Thanks.

I'm using the AF-S Nikkor 55-300mm that came with the kit (also got the 18-55mm with the kit).

Very nice... I have the 18-55 and then the 55-200 with mine... I may get a longer lens someday but looking into a prime right now... Thanks for sharing what you used!

After lunch we headed over to Green Cay Wetlands.

Spoonbill and Ibis

Hawk (he came up empty footed)

Some sort of gourd birdhouses.

Went back to Green Cay today.

Gator having lunch

Don't know why he jumped (showing off I guess)

Then settled down again. Stayed like this for at least 5 minutes then the sky opened up and we had to run for shelter.

Thanks! I try to get to the wetlands at least 2 - 3 times a week with my husband. If he's sleeping at 7am, I go by myself.

You have some spectacular photos, Marilynne! Outstanding!

I used the Nikkor 55-300mm. The pictures were heavily cropped.

Marilynne,

These are all good for live action!! Hope to be able to get some like this myself... They are so clear, even with the crop. I had done a couple with the 55-200 but was not steady enough or focus was not correct...

Again, thanks for sharing ...

Thanks, I've been practicing my in flight shots. These were the best of about 30-40 shots. I just rest my arms on the rail and shoot away.
