Great Blue Heron
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009
A Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias) flies over Oyster Creek in St. Augustine, Florida.
Looking north from the Doug Crane Boat Ramp
Tuesday, May 29th, 2007
I enjoy shooting pre-dawn landscapes. I know they’re cliché, but it’s hard to beat seeing the deep blue give way to faded yellow and orange in the hushed air. That’s the Mickler-O’Connell Bridge in the distance (usually just called the 312 bridge). The boater had me beat by at least an hour. He was coming [...]

An old discarded boats sits in Oyster Creek, just off US1 in St. Augustine. More B&W with toning.

Waterfront sunrise
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

It was taken a few minutes later, but is darker as the pattern metering compensated for the rising sun. The colors have a little more punch than yesterday and fit the quieter mood. I wish [...]
Barge and new bridge
Tuesday, June 6th, 2006
The new bridge is open in St. Augustine while they repair the historic Bridge of Lions (the raised drawbridge). The view is looking south toward Anastasia Island. Check the barge, it’s named Bob. Selectively applied curves and some dodging were the main processing tools.
