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.

MoonRise

Man, last night the moon looked so cool. It was so bright that it was causing moon rays to come out from behind the clouds - which is what inspired me to photograph it. It kinda looks like a sunset, because of all the colors. I love how blue the sky looks and how warm the clouds and ground are. Also, I LOVE the fact that I was able to incorporate some stars into the image. I shot this outside my condo, around 9pm. This exposure was 3.2 seconds at 640ISO.
Some Where's Waldo Fun! - see if you can find the face hidden in the clouds - i think its freaky!

God Smiles

I went to Gasparilla last weekend, for the first time. It is something that must be done as a tampa resident. (and pirate lover) Once a year Pirates invade tampa bay. The city puts on like 3 parades. one kid parade, then a day parade, then the crazy night parade where all the party people come out and play. The point of the parade is to catch lots of beads!!! It was fun. Anyway, the clouds looked really cool, and i kept taking pictures of planes... so i photographed them together. Enjoy!
