Its early morning when I get out today, not early enough though. There is a tree (the one you see photographed below) laid over on its side and supported by its branches and roots on one of the beaches on this island. For a while I have been wanting to get out and photograph it in the moon light but just haven’t gotten out to do it. I had found it one day while taking a rather long walk along the beach and had forgotten just where it was at and precisely which direction I should walk along the beach. I knew that if I left from the beach where I lived and headed west I would come to it, but I couldn’t remember if it were between here and the place I work (both are on the same side of the island and therefore sort of on the same beach) or if it were past my workplace. Figuring that I had time and thinking that I sort of remembered it being between home and work I set out down the beach camera and tripod in hand. After walking for what seemed like a longer distance than I remembered I noticed that it was starting to get a little light. Oh well I figured the moon is still high its still fairly dark and the sun is rising on the other side of the island I should be mostly in the shadow of the island and still get mostly moon light and just a faint glow of the sky. Well as I approached my work place it continued to get brighter and still I hadn’t come across the tree.  It was now getting to bright for night photograph but early morning light can be pretty neat to. the only problem I had now was that I was using film that was not intended to be used with sun light and has a distinct bluish cast when used so. Oh well I have enjoyed the walk and I’m here to take pictures so by george that’s what I’m going to do. Shortly after I passed my work place the tree came into view. I figured well now is better than never so I set up and took some pictures. They aren’t quite night photographs they, are more of early morning photographs but they turned out ok. After the sun had risen a little more I began to notice that there were quite a few flocks of birds flying around and decided that I needed practice photographing moving objects. Its not quite as easy as it may seem especially with birds and a zoom telephoto lens that focuses much more slowly than I would like it too. Well anyways it was fun and I got a few pictures of birds that were sort of neat and a ship that had no business being up and awake at that time in the morning.
