Joy suggested that I try early morning photography. I got up at 6:30 am for this photoshoot to take advantage of early morning light (that too on Saturday where my usual wake time is somewhere around 12-1:00 pm). I really could not catch the early morning light though :-(
Lake Elizabeth is a beautiful place with a 3 mile jogging trail around the lake. It also has boating facility near the lake. This place is a treat for bird watchers (both 'flying' and 'jogging' birds ;))
Here are some of the photographs from this photo shoot. The first one below is of (flying) birds bathing on the shore. Sorry I am not really into watching flying birds so dont know their category:(
The second one is the reflection of the grass in the water (too informative, isnt it? :))
The next two are of people who are into fitness world. The bunch of chinki people were practising some kind of martial arts. I think it is 'Tai chi' based on my limited knowledge about martial arts. I was surprised to see only chinki people practising that, but when I went near I understood the reason for the same. The music and instructions were in their languague :)
Location: Lake Elizabeth, Fremont, CA
Camera: Nikon D80

Could not catch the morning light at 6:30 am!!!? I know Fremont is far from the Arctic Circle, when is the sunrise in winter???
Now, I am no bird expert but let us see what these are not... Herons? Na..these look too distracted and the legs are short. Ducks? Nop! too white for those, right? Egrets? Naaa..the neck is not long enough. Swans? ...un.un..not regal enough. Palicans...may be??
I enjoyed the photos. I wish..I could take good photos like these.
Liked the first pic with the birds the most :-) Fremont ke aas paas bhi interesting places hai huh! :-)
Great photos! I appreciate your sense of humor :)
Stunning! Keep up the good work;)
Interesting pics. I like the orange hue.
Loved the first photo from the series. Everything always looks so much more beautiful in the first light of the day.
PS. Thanks for visiting my blog. :)
