Before the end of the summer, we went to the Olympic Peninsula for a 3 day camping trip. The bike pose should look familiar :-). I bought a new Trek 7100 before the trip, replacing my 15 year old Schwinn 10-speed bike.
Hydroplanes on Lake Sammamish
I was told at the event that this occurred all across the country, but I had never seen it before — hydroplane racing. These are smaller versions of the hydroplanes sometimes shown on TV. I had my bigger zoom with me — this was shot at 300mm, f/5.6, 1/2000 sec. I did crop the image to clean it up a bit.
Whale off of San Juan Island
Shot at with a mere 135mm lens — that should tell you how close this whale was. F7.1, 1/400 sec, ISO 100. Very cool whale watching trip. The guide was great and the whales were cooperative.
Um, this should look like the pose I usually have when I lean on my motorcycle. Had to get one with the 3 wheeler moped on San Juan. Moderately edited (the person who took the picture had the camera slightly rotated).
