Through this door lies a new world…
When the storm finally broke, I found a portal on the beach for my first photo shoot with the new camera.

I started thinking I need whipped cream for my coffee this morning after seeing this. Nice one, Steve.

Sarchi & Da Man: It sure looks like I am about to get creamed, so to speak… But this is a shot that really took advantage of the new camera getup in every way (long lens, tripod, fast shots). I am actually a long distance from this off-shore rock formation. I’m glad Automatt posted the broader context. I am standing a bit farther back and to the right of where he was. I was using the 300mm lens on full 10x telephoto with the tripod. ISO 400 allowed for 1/200 second exposure to freeze the action (with reasonable DOF from a 6.3 aperture).
I got a new appreciation for the ‘reflex’ in SLR… With a visual twitch of action, I could fire off the shot without a lag.
And it was an anticipated shot, allowing for preparation. I saw another photographer set up there in advance, and he told me that he had been planning a shot there for over a year (he tried last year, and he had been there the prior three nights… He used his wedding anniversary as an excuse to drive 6 hours with his wife to revisit this location). He found the one time of the year where the sun sets directly behind this natural portal and coincides with a low tide (the beach is very flat here and high tide would have pushed us back a long distance).
Alieness: you have to put the outfit on…
Billy: yes… Casio Z55 is my favorite, but I don’t have that particular one right now…

congrats on the camera steve. It’ll come in handy when you photograph yourself with that item i’m hoping will reach you any day now :p
just be careful tossing it.. put a pillow underneath or something..
hehe
kidding.but since im here, im gonna go ahead and wish you a happy new year, and much fun with your new toy. Since there’s already a 1D on the market now, i’ll just patiently wait until they make a 0.5D or something, and then i’ll be able to afford the 5D:p

I tried closing my eyes, Sol, and also with the tinkerbell outfit on, J, but still nothing…
Should I try latex? ¿:-/

are you so sure Tink that you aren’t already inside? This beautiful image could make you feel that way

ah! that´s a good one. Because dressed up as Nikita it didn´t work either… 😛
Didn´t think of that possibility, Sol. Now that you mention, it can be… for at that ‘new world’ I fantasize to encounter at the other side, there is definitely you, my dear ones. But you here… uhm. I don´t know now if I wanna trespass it. =S
Will you STILL be there… here… wherever…! too? pliz? =)

It is so beautiful. I can almost hear the smack of the waves.
I hope you’ll share this at Nature and Portals.
