The Dunes

Cool Morning

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. Things have been crazy crazy around here. I'm just now getting to edit the images from 2 weeks ago, and I haven't gotten to the Nikon party images yet.

This week will be beach photos and maybe a few more from the Miami skyline and Jungle Island.

Photo info: D200, Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens, and an ND gradient filter over the lens (which caused the vignetting in the image).

Sunrise

I got up this morning and saw the sun coming up and creating some incredible colors. I ran (as fast as I can move with a broken clavicle) to get my camera, but I had to swap the lens and the battery because of the time lapse thing I tried the day before.

Once I got setup, these are the colors I was able to capture. It was literally minutes between beautiful colors on the clouds, to what I shot, to just the sun beaming in your face and flat light on the clouds.

There was actually some nice surf out there today too. I sooo wish I was recovered enough to get out there and do some body boarding. Miami Beach is usually flat, but this morning it looked like some pretty organized knee to waist high waves.

Tomorrow I will post tonight's sunset photo. Not a photo of the sunset lighting up the sky nicely, but the sunball itself -- way cool.

Kiteboarders

Today is a double shot of photos. Kiteboarding, also called Kite Surfing, uses a large parachute-like kite, a harness and a board that resembles a wakeboard. These guys were getting some serious air that looked like 20ft off the water.

The Beach

Woohoo! It's my first post and why not have a shot of the beach to get it started.
