A Day on the Water

Still haven't looked at many of the images I took on Saturday as I immediately jumped to the Sunday pictures.   A group of us rented a salt water pontoon boat for the day.   What a great day, weather was perfect, great friends and great sights.   I only took the X100s as I was worried about salt spray, not an issue in the end, so was a bit limited in focal length but the quality of the images allowed me much latitude in lightroom :-)

A beautiful morning as we started from the Waterlot in Riddell's Bay.

The ladies relaxing.   Sharon, Donna and Roz.

Dog Fun

Went out shooting with Marshall again today, had a great time.   Decided to break it into 2 parts.   The first part was the morning up at Hog Bay Park in the west end.   Not tons of things to photograph but along came this dog and owner.  First time I have tried the auto focus tracking on the X-T1.  Wasn't overly successful on the first 2 goes but the 3rd time nailed it.  Need more practice.

Was a ways down the beach so should have been closer.  Was using the 55-200mm but still needed to heavy crop.

A passing boat.

I was taking a picture of the sign when Marshall walked around the corner....lol....not the most flattering.  Very serious looking man!

The afternoon was spent at the National Cathedral.  Will be a few days before I can sort out those images.  To late tonight and off boating all day tomorrow.

A Bermuda Sunset

In the fall Bermuda has amazing sunsets and if you get any clouds to go with it you will find yourself with an amazing site.   A great spot to shoot from is the top of Fort Scaur which I posted day times pics from a few days ago.   This was last nights sunset followed by a few night shots of Gibbs Hill lighthouse and a sunset time-lapse video.  Enjoy.

When I arrived it was obvious it was going to be a good one.

Couldn't resist catching the glow of sunset off some foliage.

Behind me the moon was looking pretty good as well.

And the time-lapse of what I was shooting for 20 minutes;

Once the sun had set I figured I'd head up to Gibbs Hill lighthouse.   I had never shot the X-T1 at night before and I was doing everything handheld.  I learned a few lessons.  Not very happy with the pictures below, they have noise in them and need some exposure work but now I know what to do and will head back up early next week for another attempt.
