I was fortunate to visit the Big Island of Hawai'i just after Halemaumau began erupting in March 2008.

I was fortunate to visit the Big Island of Hawai'i just after Halemaumau began erupting in March 2008. Not planned, just a happy accident of timing. This was taken near the coast, possibly on the Chain of Craters Road, but I've lost the precise location in the mists of memory. #hqsplandscape HQSP Landscape curated by Peter Marbaise Leo Schubert Mike Hankey Hans-Juergen Werner Shannan Crow and Leanne Cole

This is my shot of the baby sea otter which was born recently in the tide pools outside the Monterey Bay Aquarium.

This is my shot of the baby sea otter which was born recently in the tide pools outside the Monterey Bay Aquarium. Cue a rant about lens selection... "Why would I bring the 400mm to an aquarium?" I said. "What could there possibly be to shoot with a long lens THERE?" I said. (Actual conversation with self on morning of aquarium trip...) #hqspanimals HQSP Animals curated by Andy Smith Nicol Eh and Shannon Adelson

Egret. Lover's Point, Pacific Grove, CA.

Image
Egret. Lover's Point, Pacific Grove, CA. I didn't have my long lens, so I was out on the rocks building a rapport with this bird, slowly approaching it a step or two at a time. After five minutes or so, just as I was getting into position, a bubbling, smiling 20something couple came up behind me and starting loudly taking selfies. So, this shot is an almost. I had the focal point set for a vertical shot and didn't have time to fix it when the bird spooked. #hqspbirds HQSP Birds curated by Andy Brown Dilip Mundkur Matthew Stephenson and Terrie Gray
