The Jupiter Chief of Police, Frank Kitzerow, loved this Jupiter Lighthouse Full Moon photo so much that he wanted the Captain to personally sign it for him.
I was driving up to Jupiter for a sunset but noticed there was no cloud action in that direction. After passing Juno Pier I decided to visit the Jupiter Ridge Natural Area, a park that I’ve never been to before. Found some cool dead trees but that was about it.
This shot was from the day I got waist deep in water. See my new profile image. The funny part is I used a set of images that was taken later in the evening where I shot from dry land. This is 4 exposure panoramic, stitched in Photoshop, tone mapped in Photomatix and processed in Lightroom.
Brown Pelican in Winter Plumage basking in the mid-day sun at the waterway in Jupiter Inlet Florida. Shot with Canon 5D MK2 and 100-400mm lens. Light tone mapping in Photomatix and processing done in Photoshop and Lightroom.
This was the full moon rise at the Jupiter Lighthouse that past a few days ago. I posted a teaser on it, and well, it didn’t really come out as amazing as I had pictured. HDR image slightly tone mapped in Photomatix and processed in Photoshop and Lightroom.
Here’s a different view from Coral Cove that most people rarely see. It’s the moon rising over the coral rocks at night under the stars. Image tone mapped in Photomatix and processed in Photoshop and Lightroom.
Large wave rolling into Coral Cove Park during sunrise at Jupiter Island Florida. High dynamic range image tone mapped in Photomatix and processed using Photoshop and Lightroom.
This is so far my favorite HDR photo from Coral Cove Park. It has the best colors using 6 exposures for the full range of light while shooting directly into the sun.
Happy New Years! I hope everyone had a safe and prosperous year for 2011. Here is the first sunrise photo for 2012 by the Captain!
One of the the most beautiful sunrises that I’ve ever seen at Coral Cove Park in Jupiter Island, Florida. HDR image processed using Photomatix Pro, Photoshop and Lightroom.
