I've been having lots of fun here in Key West - a mix of photography, suntanning with my Ipod cranked and eating tons of seafood. I certainly wouldn't consider Key West a great destination for nature photography (underwater excluded). There are a few tame waterbird opportunities and the requisite palm trees on the beach, but otherwise it's over-developed. Not to mention all the crazy hippies, who gravitate towards big lenses and don't stop talking. The culture is interesting down here, to say the least.
Tomorrow we head north and I'm looking forward to some very good bird photo spots.
Here are a few I shot yesterday and today.
1) Palm trees: EOS 1DmIIn; 17-40mm; Singh-Ray Warming Polarizer LB
2-3) Black Skimmers in flight: EOS 1DmIIn; 500f4IS
4-5) Double-crested Cormorant stretching wings: EOS 1DmIIn; 500f4IS with Singh-Ray Warming Polarizer LB (retrofitted to Canon drop in polarizer).
Happy shooting!
Ethan
