Most everything is shut down by me out on the North Fork of Long Island and Long Island and New York in general have been hardest hit by Covid - 19. Part of my Family left Brooklyn to get out of the City so they wouldn't be so cramped in their Apartment. So now we are all cramped in a house lol !
Luckily we have lots of open space by us and we're close to the beach and I've been shooting lots of photos and videos.
I've been busy with a few side projects and also trying to prepare for my upcoming season at my Marina however it's looking like we won't be able to open by Memorial Day which is our normal kick off date. There's also a lot of logistics with employee housing as well as hiring out of State seasonal employees.
It will be a challenging season if we even open at all!
In the meantime here's a really cool sunset I caught the other day. A sliver of open sky revealed just enough to offer me an awesome sunset timelapse opportunity.
I shot this with my Cannon 80D on timelapse mode. Although the timelapse mode does not automatically adjust for lighting as conditions change, I like the fade to black effect this one gave me.
(I currently can't log into 3Speak, so until they figure out the new log in policy I'll have to use Youtube)
How's that for a sunset!
Absolutely beautiful and I saw several great shots with the rays coming in across the rocks there.
A great post here my friend and bad news about your opening.
We are in the last week of our extended lockdown and they say that the lockdown is just the calm before the storm!
Blessings and take care!
Thanks Stephen, Hope your are doing well and staying safe. Must be quite a challenge to run your Charity during all of this !
My pleasure Steve and hope that this Hive boom can boost your post values.
We struggle at the charity, but thankfully we are used to it and so it's not a big issue. I posted one success about the disabled children about 4 or 5 days ago.
We have applied for an essential services permit to go out, but no answer yet.
The reason I think is that we refuse to share our credits with them, as they don't support us. The big name charities get most of the support and the smaller ones have to fight for the crumbs. So we withdrew years ago and went our own way.
Life can be a struggle, but it all depends on how one faces it my friend.
We are determined to stay happy no matter the circumstances and it works for us.
Blessings, thank you for the support and take care my friend!
