Friday Fotos! – Photowalk with my 600mm Canon lens.

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

A few images from a quick photowalk along the Amelia River here in Fernandina Beach this afternoon. What contrasts—industrial ugliness mixed with our natural beauty.

Canon EF 300mm f/4 L IS USM lens with a Canon Extender 2x III. 600mm of reach!

‘Talaria’ Denver, Colorado. That must have been one heck of a trip!
Double-crested cormorant.
Juvenile royal tern (I think).
Tankers for the mills.
Mill one of two along the river. Ugly.
Shrimp boat. Only a few are left.
Crane.

One thing is obvious: Fernandina’s riverfront isn’t dull.

Boats and stacks.

Thanks for stopping by, Chris

at the beach on a winter’s day

Chris and Carol Leave a comment
The surf is not often this flat along the NE Florida coast, especially during the winter. The ocean was a beautiful shade of blue-gray (a reflection of the clouds).

Beach driving is allowed along a small section of Fernandina Beach. The vehicles are closely regulated to ensure they stay away from the protected dunes and sea turtle nests.

images along the salt marsh

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Photographed in the late afternoon along the Amelia River, Crane Island, Florida.

Camera/Lens: Canon EOS R with Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS USM

In late autumn, the marsh grass becomes a sea of golden brown.
Looking west across the Amelia River.

Boardwalk over the marsh.
Framed.

The salt marshes on and along Amelia Island are ablaze with autumn colors. Now that the heat and humidity of summer have passed, it’s a good time to explore the island’s natural beauty.

At the ready.

Fernandina paper mill (one of two on the island). It’s not a Chamber of Commerce view.

The top image was taken with my Fujifilm X-T2 and a 300mm Nikkor-H lens. The bottom photo was shot on my Galaxy S8+.

Contrasts – Industrial Ugly

Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Amelia Island, Florida. Such natural beauty and then this.
Samsung Galaxy S8+
I purposely shot into the sun to catch the reflections in the tidal mud along the Amelia River.

Looking south along the Amelia River at one of the two paper mills on the island (this one since the late 1930s). The other mill is just north of this location and is not in this image.

Amelia Island is stunning – its natural beauty is diverse, and it is almost hard to imagine how pretty it is. Thirteen miles of sandy Atlantic Coast beaches splashed with warm and generally clean seawater. On the west side of the island is this monstrosity. The mills, for the most part, never stop spewing pollution into the air and, more than likely, into the waters. Here is an interesting article written by one of the island’s original families. https://fernandinaobserver.com/general/rayonier-and-container-in-fernandina-a-brief-history-and-reflection/
