[TomWithTheWeather]

Well I just got back from vacationing with the girlfriend and family at Topsail Island, NC. I finally got a good chance to play with my new lens, a Canon 100mm 2.8f USM Macro. A few of the pictures were taken with a Canon 70-200mm IS USM Telephoto or a Sigma 1.8f 20mm Wide lens.

Most of the pictures were taken at the beach, some in the saltwater marshes, and a few others at my parent's house.

Shark's tooth and Ocean view... both shot with the macro.

Waves splashing on driftwood and Julie's feet in the sand. Both shot with the macro.

Some random family shots. Matt and Sam watch Vicky in the kitchen. Rufus gets on the coffee table. Both shot with the wide Sigma.

LOL hurricane. A few of the houses on the north end of the island are slowing being swallowed by the ocean. Nature - 1, Man - 0. The second picture is the name of the house in the first shot, "Half a Dream". Both macro'd.

I few pictures by the New River Inlet. Shrimp boats and water reflections. All macro'd.

Saltwater marsh pictures. The marsh is location at the inlet on the north section of the island. This were shot with the telephoto.

More marsh pictures. All these were shot with the macro.

Here are a bunch of macro shots I snapped at my parents house. No bug is safe! You can see my reflection on the beetle's shell.

holy crap i dont think theres a single one in there i dont like

i love the crab with one big claw, its like hes doing the silly pose when you lean down and curl one arm to make a muscle.

i was in topsail a few years ago, all the way at the north end at the apartment complex place. this was in 2002 i think so camp lejeune had helicopters buzzing over the beach constantly preparing to go to iraq, it was the coolest shit ever. i was swimming one day and popped my head out to see a cobra aimed right at me. best ever. (when/if you went in the water, did you get bit by a million tiny jellyfish constantly? it was terrible)

That's exactly where we stayed. All the way at the north end in one of the condo/apartment places.

We didn't see any jellyfish. :/
