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!
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.
I’m going to start my nine post marathon today with a bang. This was shot yesterday during sunset at Lake Worth Lagoon on Singer Island. I had my eye on this lone mangrove tree for awhile. I finally decided this week to camp this area until I got that shot and yesterday I finally got it.
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.
I tried again this morning for another shoot at Lake Worth Lagoon. I didn’t have any hopes for a good shot. But you never know what the day will bring until you get there. It didn’t bring much! I got less than five minute of color as the sun peaked through the clouds. It was enough to salvage this mornings uneventful sunrise.
This evening I went out to Singer Island and walked across the Lake Worth Lagoon to Munyon Island. I was hoping to get a good sunset but that didn’t happen. It was looking pretty good until it disappeared behind some dense clouds. At least I managed to snap this self portrait before the sun vanished.
