Masirah Island, Oman

Masirah Island, Oman was a fantastic spot for the camera. The rustic village and peirs were a great chance to capture local island life. Here I shot local fishermen out netting schools of small fish, the amazing sunset and a local Omani boy on the ferry ride.

Several bees were having lunch on some flowers along a wall in Williamsburg so I eased in for a shot. This was taken using my Canon 7D and Sigma DC HSM OS 18-250mm lens. f/9, 1/320 sec exposure and ISO-200 at 120mm focal lenngth. Sunlight white balance and center weighted average metering.

Swan Lake S.C.

I had several hours to kill in Sumter S.C. before catching my flight up to D.C. and on to Qatar so I google mapped Sumter to look for parks. I figured I could take some pics or just relax. I spotted Swan Lake-Iris Gardens and off I went. I had no idea I was in for such an amazing jewel of a park. I had absolutely no idea this place was going to be so nice. I spent the next few hours walking the paths and bridges throught eh swamps/ponds taking in the sights and as promised swans. They have every know
