What’s Your Preference?

Packed the Camera and gear on the motorcycle and took off, with no real destination in mind, stopping here and there to see what I might photograph.

The bay was buzzin.. one little speedboat caught my eye, the two boys with thier dad looked like a great example of summer fun and those are two lucky kids to be in dad's Donzi speedboat .

I also noticed a small commerical fishing boat returning to the bay thru the inlet.. I saw the Seagull flying alongside and just went for it, kinda cool how it worked out.

and I captured a tern with a fish, I decided to turn it into a soft watercolor as I wasn't happy with the quality.. and now I like it !

Really just wanted to get out on my Harley and was happy to just have a few decent shots to share, hope you like em, and as always thanks for taking a look,

Vin

Looks like a wonderful day to me! I really love the bird flying right next to the fishing boat. What a great capture. I also like what you did with the bird with the fish. Nice way to save a shot you didn't like.

Bikes, Beach, Birds, and Boats ... sounds like a pretty good day to me!! Nice shots ... good eye seeing the gull next to the boat. I really like the watercolor treatment for the tern. Good save !!!

Sounds like this was a great summer way to spend a wonderful summer day.

Get somebody to take a picture of you on your harley. That would be a cool shot. Glad you got get out and ride the wind for a little while......I have had several motorcycles back in the day but no harleys.

Another set of great shots, I like the second mainly because of the way you captured the boat and clear shot of the gull beside of it.

They are all beautiful but that last one is stunning..i love the colour and the feel of flight as he heads off home with his catch,,,its just perfect...
