Lettuce Lake


Mid morning in a chilly Florida swamp land seems so peaceful. At this park they built a boardwalk that goes over the swamps. Its a lot safer than trecking through yourself worrying about alligators, or worse, spiders! I've been kinda into landscapes lately, and when I saw this I thought it was a perfect scene to try for a pano. It was a little tough getting the sky to stay within range along with the dark water. I was wishing I found this spot a little earlier in the morning while the sun was a little lower in the sky. If I would have been any later, I wouldn't have been able to keep it all in range!

Beach Sunset


What a beautiful beach sunset i was able to witness for the first time in 2008. I went to the beach to photograph engagement portraits for a couple who is getting married this weekend. At the end of our session, they left and i hung back to steal some shots for myself.
On a different non photo note - new year means LIST time!!! Mike is a huge list freak,
and he has inspired me to make one of my own.
MY Top Ten movies of 2007: and this was tough!
10. Darjeeling Lmtd.
9. Ratatouille
8. Bourne Ultimatum
7. Super Bad
6. 3:10 to Yuma
5. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
4. Knocked Up
3. Grindhouse
2. 300
1. Across the Universe

and of course some honorable mentions - Bee Movie and Juno

Man, that was really tough. All these movies mentioned were GREAT! it was really hard to put them in order!
Thats it.

Flying Pelican



Happy New Years to everybody!! Yesterday I was photographing the pelicans while at the pier. I happened to catch this one flying by. They always seem like they are on their way somewhere, in a hurry, but never really seem to go anywhere.
This is how the image was captured: I haven't cropped into anything. I liked the placement of the pelican against the sky and clouds.
