Florida Gazebo

with one comment

This gazebo is located at the Lakeside Inn in Mt. Dora, FL.  Something about the weeping Spanish Moss, the huge trees and the loneliness makes this a bit of a bit dramatic.  Post process work to enhance the color.

Steam Engine Stacks and the Old Simpson Hotel

without comments

steam engine stacks edited 2The temperatures here in Florida have finally moderated and it was a nice afternoon with a nice breeze.  I could actually walk around without getting drippy with sweat.  This shot was taken on Lake Dora, in Mount Dora, FL.

Beach chairs

with 8 comments

The temperature here in Florida is beginning to come down just a bit.  It was around 85 degrees this afternoon.  This photo was taken this summer on Anna Maria Island – these two chairs – gazing out over the beautiful water toward the Sunshine Skyway Bridge.

For reference, these two chairs are on the very sandy tip at the bottom of the island in the photo below.  As you can see, this is a magical place.  Skip Disney and come visit sometime – you won’t regret it.

That vintage Porsche again

with 3 comments

I’ve been practicing some post-processes on selected photos lately.  Getting instruction from all the fine folks out there who take award-winning shots of just about anything.  I made some mods to the vintage Porsche that I post a few weeks ago.  I think I got some decent results.  But I need to get rid of the car in the background.  As ADG would say — Onward!

Color at the food market

with 4 comments

I love The Fresh Market.  I took some photos there a month or so ago and the manager asked me kindly to stop.  So I did.  But I was able to work some post process techniques on some of the goods.

Duck on the water

with 5 comments

I’m doing a photo assignment at Scott Thomas’ blog http://stphoto.wordpress.com/ .  The topic is WATER.

Duck at home

I chose this photo because I thought (ready for this) the water was wetter!  If you can imagine such a thing.  I hope the photo shows what I mean.
