339/365 - Tim - OBX Bird

( No EXIF Info Nikon D60 )

No, OBX does not stand for obnoxious. It stands for the Outer Banks in North Carolina. My uncle Tim was there on vacation and got this awesome shot. Here is his description of it:

When we were at the Outer Banks NC this year I got up early to shoot the sunrise over the water. I set the camera on a tripod and would snap a picture every minute as the sun rose. As this bird flew by I couldn't resist snapping a photo.

115/365 - Jim - Winter Sunrise

( f/9 38mm 1/320 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

Yesterday on my way to work I saw a really nice sunrise over this field, so this morning I went armed with my camera. I parked the car and ran across the road to get this shot. It was extremely cold, so I shot until I couldn't move my fingers anymore. Gloves really come in handy in times like that and I didn't bring any. On my way back to the car I noticed a huge snow covered field with very few trees against the horizon. I took some photos of that and also included some mailboxes that you can see if you click here. I really like this shot, maybe better than the sunrise, but the sunrise is what got me out in the cold, so I had to post it.
