lovely – where were you – at what point were you when you took the capture mq
Carol Barona replied
Hi Mike,
I was at Pelican Point in Pismo Beach. I was standing on the balcony they have overhanging the ocean and it was freezing cold. I stood out there snapping photos for over 45 minutes. I have a whole bunch of different shots – just don’t want to overwhelm everyone.

Edward Henzi
Hi Carol, great shots of this beautiful Pelican. Love the details of his wing feathers, but how did you get above him? Looks like you had to be up there flying with him to get this great ariel shot.
Anyway, I think it’s fantastic work. I like it. Ed
Carol Barona replied
Thanks so much Ed. I was on the balcony of a restaurant that hung out over the ocean (It was kind of scary) These Pelicans did fly bys once in awhile. We were inside eating, when I saw a few take off and I jumped up and ran out with my camera. It was so cold! But well worth it.!
Lynn Bauer
Way to go, Carol! Great shot!!! Looks like you had a good time in Pismo!!!

Your time was well spent Carol, a beautiful detailed in-flight avian image, the elevated viewpoint with the sea as a contrasting backdrop works so well for isolating the pelican, very well done,
