As I have been saying, it was a bit windy at the Barnegat Jetty on Friday and Saturday. This image was created with the tiipod-mounted Canon EF 800mm f/5.6L IS USM Autofocus lens and the Canon EOS-1D X digital SLR . ISO 50. Evaluative metering +1 2/3 stops as framed: 1/10 sec. at f/14 in Manual mode. Central sensor/AI Servo Surround/Rear Focus AF on the nearest rock on our left and re-compose.

Malicious Attack
Yesterday was a rough day at BIRDS AS ART. Unbeknownst to us, all BIRDS AS ART sites including the blog and the website were the target of a malicious hacker attack that commenced on Sunday, 23 DEC at 6:10pm. With Peter Kes being Johnny on the spot and with great help from our web hosts, the folks from Empowering Media, everything was under control by midday on Christmas Eve.
Those of you who were mis-directed or received error or virus warnings can click here to safely view yesterday’s post, “Barnegat Miracle.” Apologies to all who were inconvenienced in any way.
Seasons Greetings
Seasons greetings to all from Jennifer, Jim, Peter, and me. Enjoy family and friends, get out and make a few images, and don’t eat too much! Please accept our best wishes for a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2013.

The image above was optimized with the High Contrast Red Filter in NIK’s Silver Efex Pro and with both Tonal Contrast and a small dose of Detail Extractor from NIK Color Efex Pro.

Happy New Year to all!
Art,sorry to hear about the attack, I do know how that feels, having been the victim of a vicious virus attack a couple of years ago. I will never understand why some folks do this stuff. Glad you recovered okay. Merry Christmas and Best Wishes for the New Year to all at BAA. I have enjoyed the blog and look forward to its continuation in 2013.
I just do not understand why people do such things. The internet is such a great place. I am glad there was no damage…take care Artie and all of your wonderful team,
Ruthie
Merry Christmas Artie! Wonderful photo – if it had been even close to that when I was there I would have stayed in the car!
MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all @ Birds As Art
Cheers

Sorry to hear about the attack.
Love this seascape — it reminds me of a Winslow Homer.

Jim
