Were out in Monterey, CA. on vacation and I am up in the dark here with the 2 hour time difference. I think I shock people out here when I say Howdy and how are you doing. They look at me like I am crazy.

I normally cannot see much Trinity River to the Due East. But I can today.
Trinity River, of course it would be muddy at this point, but pretty full.
And more rain coming from the East. (Lake Arlington/ Handley Power plant.)

While looking out the window today (Oprah was a re-run?) she noticed these guys on the TCC Crane.
I was pretty impressed. She even screwed on my 400mm lens.
The first shot is through the window. (She is afraid to go on the balcony)
She then opens a window and takes another pic.

You see the clean banks on the Trinity River in the back of this shot? That's where my wife and I picked up trash Saturday at the Trinty River Trash Bash. Was really a very satisfying 3 hours.

This is not a bad case of Photoshop abuse. Sky was purple.
Really strange parallel clouds on the left here. Very unusual. That is an 18 wheel truck flying through at ½ second exposure.
I am guessing this is called the Main Street Viaduct? Heading out of Downtown on South Main. That is a city bus to the left.
I can't remember if that was a bus going 30mph at ½ second exposure or a bus going 60mph at ¼ exposure.

From my drizzly balcony.
Both Hawks. (high and low)
In the distance. (Fog and rain in the distance.) Do wonder where that McDonald's is...
Also in the distance. That is Catholic Charities back there.

Hate to tell you this monee, but if you start shooting birds in flight your going to start looking at bigger lenses and when you go up from your 400 it's a BIG $$$ jump.

You are right about that papaw. Particularly on a cloudy day. Had to run my ISO way up to get any kind of speed at all to my shutter.
I would like to play for a weekend with some of those $K lenses. Like a good 800 etc... Do you remember a few months ago I decided I was going to get one those big beasts instead of my new telescope? $120,000. (Canon 1200mm) Never for me. Even if I had money to throw away I would give it away before I spent that kind of money. For one reason, the fear of damaging it would exceed my joy of using it. BTW I was guessing they were $20k. I figured what the heck. My 400 5.6L was like $1400 so three times that would be...
My 2x works pretty good on my 400 but as you know has some real limitations. Like Canon cameras don't do auto-focus for apertures smaller than 5.6 so it is all manual focus. So I put it all on my cheap tripod, do the triple size image on my live-view screen and then try to focus as my camera is still shaking. In fact it is really impossible because at 800mm the movement of me focusing the lenses throws so much movement into my camera that I then can't focus. Add to that, your time is limited so your camera doesn't overheat. (Live view only works for 30 seconds before it shuts you down.) So I do see myself getting an 800 at some point.

If I had to guess, I would say this area is in a flood plain.

I thought I was going to get a picture of these guys working from the outside as I drove to work but they had gone inside leaving their ropes and equipment.

Why thank you R/J. This is my therapy for a pretty boring job. However in my next life...
And it wouldn't be Saturday morning if I was not out on my balcony taking shots of Dallas with my wife assuring me that without my slippers there is a 96% chance I will acquire H1N1. (cripes, a Hummer?)

(Yes I missed the last couple of seconds. Tough timing with changing light conditions as I did not know how long the exposure was going to be for sure nor how long for the plane to touch down.) But I am on to this. Stand by...

The guy who did this is in line next to you at Kroger. Was never caught. Chances are this was not his first or last. Chances are he has been in jail and let out. And should not have been.

Not sure where the engine is in one of these 'racy' type cars. A lift panel [engine hood ?] was open and there was a white vapor rising up into the air. I can only guess .....

That would be cool to go up in a blimp for a tour of the city. Years ago the Goodyear Blimp was in Fort Worth and my older brother was given a ride over the city and enjoyed it. Some kind of corp. gig......

Live downtown awhile, a nice loud hum like that will lull you right to sleep.
