Took a hike up Cowles Mountain with my 80-200mm to try to get some shots of the full (well, 98% full) moon rising over East County. Up on top, I decided to kill some time beforehand taking some twilight cityscape shots out toward downtown. Definitely not something I'd want to attempt again without a tripod, but it was a fun experience seeing just how much I could push the ISO on the 5D MkIII and still get usable image quality while shooting handheld.  "Whoa, a snake – no wait, it's just a twig – oh shoot, it really is a snake."  Looking west toward Coronado  SDSU in the foreground; I think the slanted strip of lights going out toward downtown is El Cajon Blvd.  I love the way the craters up around 1:00 really bring out its three-dimensionality.  Ended up taking Arthur and Cliff down to the beach to give their paws a reprieve from the pavement. The water temperature's back down in the mid-60s now, but that didn't seem to faze either of these two goofballs.  Double trouble    Shake it up baby!  Not, in fact, mirror images  Retrieve, or retrieve not. There is no try.  Out with the old, in with the new.  Coming and going   One thing on his mind.  White dog solemnly contemplates the meaning of life. Black dog has no time for such petty philosophical digressions.  Cleared for takeoff  Lab heaven right there.  And here, the prototype Labmix Type 2 displays its superior shallow water ball retrieval capabilities.  I hope I didn't forget to bring a towel. Or five. |
