   Week 5 Photo 150 Shots -- Theme: Fauna (mostly birds)

I didn't spend a lot of time on my project this week. Headed to the beach to catch some seagulls in flight. I love how they glide around. Shot with my Sony A77ii with Tamron 200-500. That first shot is in color too ... slightly overcast skies, backlit.

And for my archive shot, here is one from 2009, an opossum that showed up in our yard. An easy shot to take since these guys literally play dead and hold still  This was taken with my Sony A700 with Tamron 70-200.

	Thanks, Eddy! I call myself a "family photojournalist" so I'm very flexible with the types of shots I take. I'm bad with studio/flash setups though ... never got into it. Maybe I'll challenge myself and do still life/product/studio shots. Here are my shots for Week 6. This week's theme -- boats. I'll give you a flavor of the ships you find around LA, pleasure and industry. Sailboat on Santa Monica Bay Sony A77ii + Tamron 200-500 Container Ship Gridlock at LA Harbor Sony A77ii + Tamron 200-500 MSC Aurora - docked Sony A77ii + Tamron 200-500 Archive Shot - Queen Mary 2 Visiting San Pedro/LA Harbor in 2006 (hint of barbed wire) Konica-Minolta 5D at 50mm ... not sure what lens ... SOOC! Edited by ADub128 - 15 February 2021 at 03:55

	Yeah, Eddy, San Pedro. It's close by, but maybe a 20-30 minute drive to get there. LA surface streets, LOL.

	Nice moody views Art, I especially like the first with the very vague mountains on the horizon and the diagonal composition
	Mind the bandwidth of others, don't link pictures larger then 1024 wide or 960 pix high, see here

	Thanks, @pegelli. That is Catalina Island in the distance in that first shot, about 25 miles off the coast here.
