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.

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!
