Beach photography is what I love, and being a photographer lucky enough to live in Florida… right next to beach, you can say it’s my specialty. My goal is to photograph all of Florida’s beaches and major attractions such as; parks, piers, inlets, lighthouse and of course anything with historic value. If you enjoy my work please share it with others. Drop me a comment if you have any questions about any of my beach photos.
I woke up early this morning and decided to drive to the beach for a sunrise shoot. I wasn’t expecting much since this whole week has been kinda gloomy.
Here’s my first shot with my new/used Canon S90 compact camera. There was no color that morning at Coral Cove Park but the waves were pretty cool.
My third attempt this week for a sunset at Lake Worth Lagoon, and you know what they say… “third times a charm.” Well in this case it was true. I’m working backwards through this series. This was shot 30 minutes after sunset so you can imagine what the others will look like. Let’s just say, I finally got the mangrove shot I wanted from this place, and then some.
I am missing my Canon PowerShot S90. Ever since it took a nose dive and crashed on the rocks I’ve been feeling incomplete. Every serious photographer should have something similar for capturing those casual moments in life. This was one of those images.
I’ve said this before, mangroves are one of the hardest subjects to shoot. When you’re there, they look amazing, however they don’t translate well into a photograph. I think this is due to a lack of color and intensity of detail. That’s why when post process these images I will almost always convert to black and white or duo tone.
Here’s a HDR panorama that I created from my shots yesterday morning at the Palm Beach Inlet of the Pump House.
Here’s another photo at night from Coral Cove Park during a full moon rise. Foreground was painted in with light. It’s pretty amazing how much color there is for a nighttime shot!
Here’s an up close shot of the Hillsboro Lighthouse in Pompano Beach, Florida. Well at least as up close as you can get without a boat or trespassing violation.
Here was my first shot from this morning when I was at the Hillsboro Lighthouse in Pompano Beach, Florida. It ended being a amazing sunrise that was well worth the drive to photograph this historic lighthouse.
Went south today and photographed the Hillsboro Lighthouse for sunrise and capture this guy kite surfing out in the ocean with killer sun rays in the distance. This image is a single exposure tone mapped photo from Photomatix final post processing done in Photoshop and Lightroom.
