Awoke early this morning in San Diego and went out just after sunrise. members.aol.com/rfsindg/catch1.jpg Caught using the *ist DS and the 80 mm end of the 80-200/2.8 zoom. Camera selected f11 @ 1/1000 for a fine jpeg, resized for the web.
After some shots, I heard this blowing noise like a whale! members.aol.com/rfsindg/catch2.jpg Using the 200 mm end of the zoom, action mode f4 @ 1/2000. Cropped about 25% from the left and risized for the web. (Thought I was in Scotland with Nessie for a few moments. The locals say it was a juvenile Gray whale, very rare in the harbor!) Shot about 140 images...way more than film. I'm getting up early again tomorrow. ;-) Regards, Bob S.
