Sunset ‘X’treme

Delta Lake State Park

I was too excited to have a nice sunset to notice the plane trails in the sky when I composed this image. You might not have thought about them if I didn’t mention it but once I’ve seen them I can’t stop seeing them. I processed the image anyway. I’m still a sucker for a reflection and the colors captured by the water is why I grabbed the image in the first place.

Winter Fire

Delta Lake State Park

After an up and down weekend, Monday was beautiful. Temps reached into the lower 50’s and the sun fought its way through sparse clouds. Delta Lake was the destination for quite a few people to see the sunset. I was amazed there was still some ice fishing happening considering how many times I broke through the ice near shore. I waited for the sun to drop completely below the horizon hoping it would light up the sky. I was not disappointed…

Morocco Bright

Morocco Pavilion, World Showcase, Epcot

I love the architecture and details in the Morocco Pavilion at Epcot. It is one of my favorite areas to photograph. I especially like this view across the water from the viewing area near the International Gateway. I always consider it a bonus when I manage to capture one of the Friendship boats as well… 🙂

No Wake

Castaway Point Park, Palm Bay, FL

I think I’m stuck on this upcoming trip to Florida. Maybe it is the so-so weather here in New York that has me unmotivated. I don’t know, it has been quite a few days since I ventured out with the camera.

It is raining right now. Supposed to rain all day. The forecast is looking like it will hit 50F today. The weather service issued a flood watch until Friday evening. Definitely not motivated…

I suppose rummaging through the old Florida images isn’t going to help my mood but it is amazing to me how even after 3 years I can discover an image that works. It has me wondering what I didn’t see in it three years ago.

I read an article earlier in the week that made an argument for not processing your images as soon as you get home. You should allow the euphoria and excitement of capturing the images wear off, and then you would be able to “see” each image with a less biased eye. I think there is truth in that concept, at least for me…
