This morning I met Nicole for our second 1-on-1 DSLR Photography Lesson in downtown St. Petersburg. The topics for our lessons continue to be based on assignments she gets for her photojournalism class. Today's topic was wildlife, so we went out to The Pier to photograph pelicans and anything else we could find along the way.
It was a very sleeping morning out at The Pier, hardly any creatures were stirring. The sky was mostly overcast, but the humidity was heavy, putting a general malaise on all, but this meant the pelicans were extra approachable allowing for some very closeup shots of the large birds. There were a number of males and females in various sitting, standing and preening positions allowing Nicole to get a good range of shots to submit for her class.
We concluded by photographing a few semi-curious squirrels in North Straub Park. Barring any of her classmates making a quick trip to Africa, I am sure Nicole will end up with the best shots once again!
