On Saturday evening I visited the pier at Fort Desoto Park. I don't know why I waited so long to return here; it's one of my favorite places. I was lucky because as you can see, the sunset was epic.
From the moment I got out of my car, I was busy taking pictures. I go camera-crazy whenever I'm in an idyllic setting. I dare say we all do; when I looked around nearly everyone was holding a camera of some type (be it phone or DSLR) taking pictures.
To make this final image I combined three exposures into Aurora HDR, made a few adjustments and then used Luminar 2018 to make a few more. I never repeat the same process twice. I do everything by feel, and I don't write anything down. It's a form of improvisation, similar to what a musician might do. It's no wonder, so many photographers are also musicians, the creative process has certain similarities. Which got me thinking, I wonder what this scene would sound like if translated into music?
Canvey Marina, tide out and lots of mud!

Cortez is one of the last fishing villages on the east coast of the United States. That would mean these pelicans picked the perfect place to live.
We came for the annual fish festival and left stuffed to the gills. They had every kind of fish dish you can imagine, and then some.
Fishing vessels were docked alongside the processing plant, and I captured these fellas preening themselves, oblivious to all the commotion around them. Sea birds in Florida coexist with fishing and are not afraid of humans at all.
Anyway, this reminded me that I need to come back to Cortez on a regular workday to see everything in action. It's one of the first places I came with the new Sony camera about five years ago, and I always find something interesting to shoot here. And, as one of the last villages of it's kind, it is a little bit of history.
The problem with a place in Florida called Venice is that if you Google "Venice," you'll end up in Italy. Even if I search my website, I get Italy. Using the hashtag "#venicefl" helps sort that out.
That's the thing about living in the new world, a lot of places get named after the old world. If you're someone like me that was born here, its confusing as heck. (I never said I was bright.) It's like when someone in Ontario Canada mentions London; or the poor souls in Paris Texas.
Hashtags aside, I took this with the original Sony A7R. By this time I owned it for over a year and was thoroughly happy with it. Now I'm on the third generation A7, but am going back with newer software. The updated software breaths new light into these old shots. This is processed with Aurora HDR 2019, and after looking at what it can do with these old photos, I'm going to be going back to have a second look at a few more.

I came here because the bridge is new and I’ve waited a long time to take this picture.

Visit to Concrete City with fellow photographers: Curtis Solanick, Brian Bukeavich, Lewis De Joseph, Marty Straub and Dave Cohen.
Since purchasing MacPhun's new HDR software, AuroraHDR Pro over the holidays, I made sure to capture plenty of bracketed exposures to jump head-first into the program (I've used HDRsoft's Photomatix Pro dating back to late 2006)

The castle ruins sit on a high bluff overlooking a portion of the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks. At the beginning of the 1900s, Snyder, who was a prominent Kansas City businessman, began construction of a magnificent European-style mansion or "castle." He was killed in an automobile accident before it was completed but his family continued the work and lived in it for a time. More than 15 miles of trails wind through the Ha Ha Tonka State Park, which has sinkholes, natural bridges, caves and an arm of the lake. The beautiful Lake of the Ozarks has over 1,000 miles of shoreline and attracts visitors from around the world.
