Harbor Moodiness

Posted by Mike on

Monochrome
Bellamy Harbor Park

The forecast was not looking good for the morning. A weather alert about low visibility due to fog had me thinking I would not get a sunrise image. As the time for the sun arrived I had a thought, why not images of the fog? I started thinking on ways to process the images, obviously they would be monochrome, and of course it had to be down at Bellamy Harbor Park.

Get dressed!

On it. Camera ready?

Yes! Silly question…

Off I went into the early morning to Bellamy Harbor for “sunrise” images. It was a good decision. There was no sun and I could see the fog coming up the canal. I looked for images with contrast that would process well as monochrome. You can see how the fog increased as the morning progressed. These are in chronological order…

Midday, Floral, Macro

I really got my steps in while I was on vacation. I haven’t been out for a walk since I returned. Luckily for me, I have some images still in my pocket from walks prior to vacation. Even a few daisies. I need to get out and find more…

Indialantic, Florida

One of the best parts of staying in the Melbourne/Palm Bay area of Florida is the duality presented by the barrier island along the mid-Florida east coast. If I want a sunrise I can find it looking out into the Atlantic Ocean but if it is a sunset I crave then I can find it looking out into the Indian River Lagoon. The town of Indialantic is such a spot (hence the name, a blend of Indian River Lagoon and Atlantic Ocean).

This is an abandoned dock and boat lift near Riverside Park. I couldn’t resist the framing provided by the clouds and sun rays. Not long after this image was captured it rained briefly in Melbourne but then quickly moved on. Don’t worry, I didn’t wet… 🙂
