Bellamy Harbor Park

After days of single digit temperatures we finally had a “heat wave” yesterday! Leaving work with a balmy 30 F evening had me trying to decide where to go for the sunset. Without a cloud in the sky I opted for Bellamy Harbor Park. There were a few interesting things but I gravitated toward the benches.

Melbourne Beach, Florida

I’m still looking through old images of previous trips to the Florida coast. I went crazy Saturday and switched my wait list request from Disney in Orlando to Vero Beach. I would rather go exploring the space coast to the gold coast. I found this approaching storm coming toward Melbourne. This is looking out over the Indian River at sunset back in September 2016.

Melbourne Beach Revisit

Melbourne Beach, Florida

On my second trip to the Florida coast in March of 2016 I stayed with my mother-in-law and used her place as a base for my early morning/late evening excursions. I found the pier in Melbourne Beach and wanted to see if I could use it for a sunset image. My original post about this adventure is here. Although I love the image I have always thought it was a little flat and unsaturated as well as slightly out of focus. The big draw for me are the colors.

Staying with the “wanting warm images” theme while I sit up here in cold Central NY I decided to rework this image a little. Nothing drastic! A little more contrast, a little improvement on the focus and a slight color boost. I’m feeling a little warmer already…

Delta Lake State Park

I was almost at the limit of my stay the other evening at Delta Lake. Although I had on gloves they were not enough for the wind and my fingers were beginning to feel the cold. I spotted this group out of the corner of my eye walking into my scene. I zoomed in and waited. The dogs were excited to be outside and timing the shot was challenging. I wanted to have the individual isolated but it didn’t materialize. I liked this one with the lead dog looking ahead and the person and the trailing dog obviously walking. Right after this I headed to the car to warm up.
