Hi, I'm Marilyn. Â I've been posting here on RR for a few years now and thought it was time to update my profile. Â It's been wonderful learning so much from the amazingly talented people here. Â I've had the chance to meet many in person and some have become great and good friends. Â Starting with a Kodak Brownie camera when I was about 7 or 8, moving up to Instamatics, Polaroids, then the Pentax K1000 that really got me on the way, I've been looking at the world thru a lens for a long time. Â Got the bug honestly; my dad was a photographer and gave me the gene!! Â Digital changed the world and I jumped in with both feet. Â You would've gone thru 100's of rolls of film in one day the way we can shoot and delete all day long. Â Progess...it can be awesome sometimes.
At any rate, RR rocks, the talent is over the top and I'm just gonna keep on shooting!!
Thanks for looking and keep those cameras rollin'!!
peace.....marilyn

I like the classic old twin-fin swallowtail on the left, at what looks like low tide.

I'm thinking if it gets alittle warmer I will go to OCeanside visit my son and then walk along the sand the salt water is great for aches and pains in the feet; love this all familiar site:: great photo

Great capture! I like it that we're seeing guys in the water and guys going out into the water. It's almost like time-lapse! LOL! Nicely done.

Excellent - you really captured the surfing atmosphere well in this shot.

Capital silhouetting and textures in this under-the-pier shot, Marilyn! Looks virtually abstract.

And there you are, under the pier once again. Great action shot. Dana

This is one of those shots I'd never get tired of looking at. There's so much to see. I'm particularly taken by the columns. Because of the photo itself, they look like the trunks of some exotic oceanside trees and the algae growth (high tide marks) look like rougher bark cutting off, not so abruptly, but quickly nonetheless to reveal smooth bug-resistant bark, like these probable trees have leaves that are quite tasty to tree climbing bugs or something. And then you have the surfers: natives of the land where these trees grow, perhaps...and then you have the light. It could be morning or evening light; it doesn't actually matter. It's rich with hints of gold, but it's also bright and warm. And even better, there's something in this that's just begging for a story. I like it when a photo does that...it tells its own story, and a good photographer always brings that out of a shot, and well...I just have to sit back and say WOW, because I really, really like this. Oh, and I should mention those reflections. You captured the motion of the water perfectly there, not just in the wavy shimmer of the reflections, but in that saturated sand that hasn't yet shed water...it's that sand that's still swirling a little bit as the water rushes out before the next wave comes in, and well...whenever I see sand doing that on the shore of Lake Michigan, it's always seems so hard to capture. It makes such interesting patterns and I've taken to calling it "twilight sand" because like twilight, it's kinda between states...not saturated wet, but not dry either. Yeah, I like that. This is such an awesome shot!

Love the constantly rolling surf...I came along slightly before surfboards in my neck of the woods. Must be fun.
