An interesting tidbit that this Cooper's Hawk (I misidentified the hawk at first) can be found here - What’s Going On - that happened to his/her eye.

First time I have seen a barracuda. While I knew they were in the Keys, not expecting mid-State (Sebastian Inlet). Asked a Park ranger, describing the fish and he was thinking Snook (I knew were too wide) and realized I had my camera in his office. Showed him and he confirmed, noting while rarely caught, frequent the reefs just offshore.
Incidently, yesterdays photo of the beach and this photo where both taken from a jetty/pier at the inlet.

EM5.3, 40-150 2.8 @ 150mm Should have stopped down but I think I got away with it.

That didn't take long. Luckily the song didn't exist when my wife and I were dating, so it didn't become a descriptive adjective...😲
Fresh out of the iPhone..... I noticed how the light was catching this, the interesting colors and textures, and thought, "hm....." The iPhone was closest at hand so I grabbed it and took the shot.

Morning meadow with cottonwoods an intense yellow morning sun.
Edit:I should add that this isn't quite as intensely yellow in person so my apologies - it's close (ish) - but it's me playing about with monitor profiling, proofing & color management (and not doing a good job), printing, etc. Every day, another step
. The print itself doesn't appear this way in the light for which I have the monitor and the printer profiled. Color science is truly fascinating.
Edit2: There's a circular polarizing filter involved too - which I am also learning my way around - that adds to some of the intensity of color. Of course, one of the amazing things about living in the Rocky Mountain West of North America (and I expect any steppe ecosystem) is the intensity of the sun (yellow) and the sky (blue) in Autumn. It truly is amazing.
And Edit3: The last I promise. One of the interesting things about steppe ecosystems is that when you have trees, they're often of one kind (Cottonwoods in this case) and they appear in small stands with a view through them to open prairie off in the distance. You can't really see that here, but I am really going to work on transferring the feeling I have when I see such open spaces to an image and then to you all. Not quite sure how to do it yet, but will try different approaches. I only have an 80mm lens for this particular camera ( a medium format, the lens with this sensor is roughly 50mm in full frame equivalent) and may get a longer lens to compress distances. We shall see.
One of the things with these older medium format cameras with CCD (as opposed to CMOS) sensors is you have to be very slow, very deliberate. The useable ISO ranges are very narrow from base and there's no option for "spray and pray" with less than 1 frame-per-second. So you have to stop, breathe, slow down and think. I'm not a patient person so am learning that with this particular camera. I love slowing down. It's very, very good for me.

I find the hardest thing with Landscape photography is trying to capture the feeling of a place. Sometimes it’s just impossible.Morning meadow with cottonwoods an intense yellow morning sun.

Prior two days taken from the jetty/pier on the left. This is from the old highway A1A, removed the bridge between the channel pilons with the new flyover bridge, but retained old road where can walk to channel.
It is definitely difficult! The challenge keeps me wanting to get out of bed most days so that's a good thing.
Indeed. I’ve been neglecting landscape photography for a while. Too much working. That’s the trouble!It is definitely difficult! The challenge keeps me wanting to get out of bed most days so that's a good thing.
Yesterday's surprise on the lake: three cormorants together! My little buddy Morrey (you've seen him here on this thread in earlier images) has found a couple of buddies with whom to hang out.....
