ooo teleconverter

ugh. November in the Pacific Northwest means one thing... rain. ugh.

Saturday afternoon had a few moments of tranquility, and dma and I explored the Lowell Riverfront Park in Everett. I have driven past this place many, many a time as I took the backroads from Bothell to A-town, and never knew about the coolness that existed in the area.

For this shoot, I was armed with my 70-300mm and dma's teleconverter... I have had it in my camera bag FOREVER but have been severely sidetracked by the big move. ugh. I was happy to finally have a chance to use the teleconverter; what a tremendous learning opportunity.

I took a few classic msg style shots:

and learned how stinkin difficult it is to get somoe bird shots without a tripod...

well, it is hard to take any shot without a tripod. guess I am just shaky :) makes sense... I lack grace in that respect.


and, of course, I managed to find a random water fountain to photograph also.


It was a nice trip, and I am happy to have another local spot to add to the mix.
Hope the chilly, windy, rainy, yucky November weather is treating you well. Stay warm!
