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.
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!
Here’s another shot of Captain Kimo’s Driftwood from Lake Worth Lagoon. I have another one coming that’s cropped and converted to black and white. Let me know which you like better.
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.
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’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.
