Miscellaneous Shots - Part 4

The hotel was very nice. Food was good but the sit-down places are crazy expensive.

Yes, I jumped when I first walked into the room. Thought it was a person.

We did not eat at the French restaurants, but had pastries a couple of times from the Patisserie. I could never eat snails - yuck!

I used my Photo program - ACDSee - to do a basic auto level adjustment which reduced the haze. It was a pretty clear shot to begin with, as it was facing east, away from the setting sun.

Thank you for the tour, the photos were wonderful !!!

Thanks for resurecting this thread

Great family picture Victor

Thanks, Jo.

Love the shadow one!!

Great shots, Victor! Also love that shot over NY! Amazing, in fact! Why no photos of Jasmine???? That shadow shot is very cool. Looks like you put on a few pounds from the French patesserie! LOL

Thanks, Louise. Only saw jasmine once - from a distance. Had a long line of kids waiting for pics.

Any meaningful eye contact from across the crowded parking lot??? LOL

Tough to say since I wasn't looking at her eyes!

Oh, Man....I set you up for that one!! LOL

Hee hee - yes, you get the assist. ^_^

Always like to help you out whenever possible, Victor! LOL

Catch of the day. ☺

Montauk, NY

commercial fishing boats

fishing nets

line of fishing boats

Surfer's section of the beach

Surfcaster's section

Native vegetation

unidentified, but very abundant on the shoreline

Lastly, 2 of the 9 Striped bass caught on this charter, along with 5 bluefish,, 80 porgies and 13 seabass. This scene was routine whenever a charter boat came in from the day's fishing. Five people shared this catch on this charter trip.
(I'll limit my pics to just one of these.)

Nice vaca pix Watercan.

Thank you Ge1836, just a local Sunday drive here on Long Island with my DW for a change of pace, but yes - many do come from all over the country and the world, especially Europe, to enjoy our Eastern Shore here.
- Very happy you enjoyed them. ☺

Looked like fun!

We just need a slice of lemon....

lol! - and some tartar sauce!

YUM !!!!

WC - really enjoyed your photos! The ones of the commercial fishing vessels are so colorful and the natural beach ones strike a chord with me as well. Very lovely! You have a great photographic eye!

Very nice, WC. I like the fish nets.

Thanks Louise, that's very kind of you! ☺

Yes Victor the fish nets were totally unexpected, most tourists just see the boats. I went back to where the boats were docked, a smelly, 'fishy' area where they unload their catch at a processing facility before loaded onto distribution trucks. I was full of loose lines, flimsy wooden planks and a big dog. (luckily the dog was used to dumb tourists with cameras...) - That's where I was able to get some nice texture shots which gave a 'feeling for the place'.

'boy I tell 'ya what I do for a shot sometimes ... Phewww! (lol!)

here are a few shots of our annual canoe trip this past weekend
