South spit, Humboldt Bay, California. Sunday, 23 October 2016.

Sorry I post and interact so infrequently in this forum. During academic semesters it's hard to find time. I have a stack of exams to grade so I was in denial this weekend. I planned this Sunday photo shoot out on Humboldt Bay's south spit, but the weather wasn't ideal. Yesterday was spectacular, but today was overcast and moody. Here are some of the photos I took.

1. These are just glorious, my dear mike_c!

I can't even pick out a favorite since they are all so beautiful.

I'll bet you had a great time.

Thanks for sharing!

3. I really did like them!

And I think it's very healthy to dodge work responsibilities now and then. Judiciously, of course!

The varying depths of color and light.

5. that Tokina 12-28 continues to impress me....

It's sharp. On a tripod, with remote trigger and mirror lock up, it is a superb lens. I do lust after a faster wide angle zoom, but until the day comes, I'll be happy with this lens.

7. All of these are jaw dropping gorgeous to me

and make me want to pull out brushes and paints. Exquisite. Each in its own way.
