I tried a new spot this time for a West Palm Beach downtown skyline shot. This was photo was taken from the Flagler Bridge, not the greatest vantage point. I was lucky enough to get a decent sunset to make the HDR image work. Video of me post processing this image coming soon!

Here is the very first shot from yesterday during that epic sunset at the Lake Worth Lagoon. When I start a photo shoot with something like this, I get goose bump knowing it’s going to be a very good evening! It’s days like these that make up for all the other bad days.

Another shot of the famous Captain Kimo Driftwood from the Lake Worth Lagoon at Singer Island. So far this is my favorite photo of the dead wood. But I have another image in my mind that will require mother nature’s help. Hopefully this tree will still be here when all the perfect ingredients come together.

Hundreds of bikers were at the South Florida Fair show off their motorcycles to the crowd by driving through the fair. It was a very cool opportunity for me to catch some tail lights and fair rides all at once. You better believe I made the best of it!

Mangrove Island… that’s not it’s real name, but I call it Mangrove Island because it’s one large island of mangroves. A bunch of pelicans call this island home. Soon this island will be completely white because of all the pelican droppings. I’ll be sure to post that when I get it. Then I’ll call it Albino Mangrove Island.

Here’s a black and white version of the previous driftwood photo. This is what happens when I process too many photos in one day. My eye gets tired and I start to lose the ability to decide what looks good and what doesn’t. This will be my fifth photo posted for today… four more to go!

The most difficult part about shooting the Lake Worth Lagoon at Singer Island is avoiding the Condos from getting in the scene. It’s pretty tuff since the are all over the place.

I am totally claiming this as Captain Kimo’s Driftwood, lol. So if you plan on going out to shoot this you’ll have to refer to it as Captain Kimo’s Driftwood.
