It seems the trend has been me doing sunset photos on a Friday. That is the assumption that there is a weekend approaching. Sadly I am in Chicago and I am doing a 9 day straight without a break on an extended project. On the bright side once that is done I’m off to my happy place, Thailand! I am going to guess that the pier with the cover on it is for viewing the Caloosahatchee River. There were lots of…
It’s Friday and the sun is setting on the week and the weekend begins. It’s why I saved this one until today. This was shot while I was in Fort Myers, Florida near the river walk area that follows the Caloosahatchee River. The wood is for mooring boats but I have never seen one tied up there except in the marinas. Still, they worked great for framing the photo. This image was not shot for HDR, I find I have better…
This is another one from Fort Myers. You can see the sunsets are rather spectacular there provided you don’t mind dealing with the heat and humidity. The heat and humidity are the reasons I have so many sunset and night shots because it was too hot to move during the day and it would either fry you or your camera first because it’s so hot. I had heat spots on the sensor from the one day I shot during the…
This is another one from Fort Myers, Florida and shot on the Caloosahatchee River. People seem to like the photos of the sunsets so I went with another. I really wanted to do a few more series this week but my schedule just hasn’t allowed me to to sit and edit for the extended amount of time that a couple of them will required. So sunsets it is! The usual layering and masking applies when I do a landscape shot like…
This is another one of those Fort Myers, Florida sunsets that I captured (I got a lot of them). I was on the River Walk and I saw the puddle left over from the frequent storms and saw the reflection along with everyone sitting there and enjoying the sunset so I figured why not take a picture. Think it worked out. Editing wise I didn’t go over on the filters and masks I applied to the image. Once I had…
This is a pier looking thing on the Caloosahatchee River near a restaurant. I wanted to get closer to it but there were warning tape on the walkway and an angry looking guy smoking a cigarette guarding the path. So I set up as near as possible without violating the same. I have no idea what happened to the pier thing but it’s clearly missing some parts and is loaded with warning tape. While the structure serves as a visual…
The Route 41 Bridge! Well at least its the name I’ll give it. It might have a different name but I have no earthly idea. This is the non-toll, non-business route bridge over the Caloosahatchee River in Fort Myers. I was bored of Thailand and I didn’t want to start to inflict architectural images on everyone yet (plus I’m being lazy on the series stuff) so I went back to the stuff I shot but didn’t know how to edit…
