Title: Key West Kayaking Photos
Post by: Adam on August 06, 2006, 06:17:14 PM
Please move if this is the wrong forum! (also, this is a cross post from another board)

Taken today... "Local's Day" at Lazy Dog Outfitters... FREE kayaks!!! :)

If you can identify what's in the last picture, I'd appreciate it, I'm curious!

Oh, this was the day that Chris was supposed to hit us, Fort Jefferson was closed for the whole weekend, and thousands of tourists stayed away...

Beautiful Day!!!

An osprey.

And the same osprey in flight.

Either it was an incredible accident, or someone dumped a stolen scooter..
This was the only "litter" we saw!

Cool pics, Adam.  I don't know what that is in the last shot, but I really like the two of the osprey.

My current dig. camera is a piece of garbage for any 'serious' photography.  I'm now drooling over the Nikon D50 and some decent lenses.  I could never get a shot like that osprey with my current camera.

The one I used today is just a little Nikon Coolpix 3 megapixel thing... I broke my decent Canon... so I'm going to get a GOOD camera after I get Journey home :)

Thanks for the comments!

I go up Sept 1st to get Journey :)

It'll be a 2 week trip back, as I'm stopping on the west coast of FL to take some friends sailing.

There'll be a LOT of pictures when I get home :)
