We got up early in Houston to make the 40 something mile drive to East Beach on Galveston Island. My goal was really to catch some waves with camera on a tripod to get the dreamy blur effect. However, as soon as the sun was rising, I couldn’t use the shutter speeds needed for the blur. I got these:
The Houston Ship Channel is here and I got this of a ship on the horizon:
There was a shark on the beach that, apparently, his friend buried in the sand and then swam off and forgot to extract him:
This could be his friend, a hammerhead supine nearby. Maybe he died from the exertion of burying this shark:
While you would think other animals would be in mourning, these guys weren’t at all upset:
Laughing gulls!
The camera was a Nikon D7100 with dirty sensor and a Nikon 16 – 85 zoom (using split graduated ND filter) except for the gulls which were captured the next day with same body and Sigma 150 – 600 Sports version of that lens.

Some shots taken with iPhone and Fuji 645 camera on 120 film.
These were with iPhone. We found back alleys more interesting than the fronts of the buildings, mostly shops, of course.
Front of a church in Galveston.
This was actually not in Galveston. It was at Brazos Bend State Park a week earlier. Just didn’t have roll of film developed yet at that posting, so I’ll just put it here if it’s OK.
Spanish moss on tree, also at Brazos Bend SP. I’ll beseech your indulgence for posting it here due to same reason as stated above. I look forward to actually printing these on silver paper or maybe even give it a shot on platinum/palladium.
