Today I took a ride around Lake Okeechobee… well 90% of it at least, had a great time and got some fantastic shots. Most of them bird photos, mainly because the sky was completely bland and all the foliage brown and dead. But that was good, since it allowed me to focus on one thing, birds. Plus I didn’t have to switch lenses back and fourth. FYI, I use a 100-400mm telephoto lens for birds and a 17-35mm wide angle lens for landscapes.
This HDR photo from Lake Okeechobee was from a different day, today there was absolutely no clouds. Regardless I still ended up getting a beautiful sunset photo. However from a different spot, about 30 minutes north of here, no clouds but a better foreground scenery. I’ll try to post that HDR image tomorrow.
