As Tropical Storm Lee develops just west of here, the wave action on Pensacola Beach has picked up. This of course brings out the surfers. This morning I was out photographing some of them just west of the fishing pier. Wave where increasing as the morning moved on. By Saturday I expect to see even a increase in the wave action. Of course I plan to be out in the morning looking to catch a few more shots. Below are just a few taken this morning.

A new iPad magazine is now available from Scott Kelby (Photoshop User)
The magazine is called Light It and the first issue is free. This is an Apple App for the iPad and information maybe found here. I downloaded this first copy and I must say it is packed full of good information on how to light it.

The below Limpkin was shot during my recent visit to Shark Valley which is located in the Florida Everglades. The camera used was the Canon 7D with Canon EF70-200mm f/2.8L USM lens.

The below photo is a High Dynamic Range (HDR).
Multiple exposures where taken, then aligned and merged to generate a single image that enables a much wider range of colors and tonality. In this case three images where used. Was shot with the Canon 7D using an EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens.

On Saturday, May 14th in down town Pensacola was the annual antique car show.
This event was held on Palafox Street.
Below are a few of the images I shot that where transformed into High Dynamic Range (HDR) images.

HDR, is a digital photography technique whereby multiple exposures of the same scene are layered and merged using image editing software to create a more realistic image, or a dramatic effect. The combined exposures can display a wider range of tonal values than what the digital camera is capable of recording in a single image.

Since my return from the last photo trip I have been doing post production of the nearly 1000 images I shot. At the same time I am in the middle of updating the current StuartOnline Website. New photos and contain will be added soon. As many should know Websites have to be continually updated to keep people interested in returning. So keep a eye on StuartOnline for the updates.

After being on the road since May 4th, I have now returned to Gulf Breeze. Over the five days on the road I traveled nearly 1800 miles. The photo trip took me down the west coast of Florida, across the state via 41 through the Everglades. Then over to Miami Beach and up the coast via US A1A via Boca, then over to Daytona Beach. Last stop before heading home was a few hours in St Augustine.

During this photo trip I shot nearly 1000 images. Now I need to spend some time going through these images, editing and posting and of course printing and framing. Be watching this Blog for information on where to view images from this photo adventure.

I am now in the planning stages for my next travel photo trip which should be announced soon.
