This is another shot from my early morning walk in Wildwood, NJ. I didn’t realize how many shots I took, until I started doing some processing in Lightroom! This is a shot I really like. The water running up onto the beach wasn’t very interesting and didn’t add much to the image. So, I cropped it a bit to focus more on the angle of the sun rays. I love the line of highlighted clouds. My eyes were drawn to those clouds immediately! What do you think?
This small piece of algae washed up during the sunrise and brought back so many memories! Funny, cause it just looks like a slimy little “tree” sticking up from the sand. I took a Phycology class in college. Everything you ever wanted to know about the biology of algae and seaweed! I was a marine biology major at the time, so it made sense to take the class about what many marine animals would be eating…turns out it was a tough class (and kind of boring, sorry Dr.Liddle !). There are more types of algae than I ever imagined !! Unfortunately, out of sight out of mind, and I don’t know what type this is, but it made for an interesting little reflection shot!
It is amazing how quickly the light changes while watching a sunrise or sunset. Here I was trying to take advantage of the last of the beautiful side lighting.. I like how the coaster and the pop of color from the storage units are highlighted. I also find myself staring at the coaster track.. lots of motion! Let me know what you think!!
P.S…. I recently went over 100 followers! It is so exciting and amazing to me that there are 101 people out there who check out my photos on a regular basis. I hope you keep enjoying this window into my world. Thank you for all your comments, critiques, support and advice you’ve given! Keep them coming 🙂
While shooting this sunset, I kept hoping that the sun would stay in this position. Who needs a bright hot day? (This particular day the high temperature was in the 100’s!)
This little girl was having a blast during the sunrise.. running around, splashing in the water, picking everything up off the sand… this will be my little Lucy in a few years 🙂
I was not the only person with a camera on this beach…. As I have said before, this is probably the best reason to be a morning person, actually for me it’s the only reason!
Saturday July 7th, sunrise was 5:41 am… I was there…
Those of you who celebrate the 4th of July, I hope you had a great holiday!! Everybody else, I hope you had a nice relaxing weekend 🙂
For me it is perfect. Yes, there are crowds. Yes, it is pricey. Yes, it can have super hot weather. It is also a chance to go back to a place that doesn’t change, but always has new things to see and do. You get to wear funny hats, and no one thinks you’re weird. Run around like a big little kid! It is the craziest stress free place for me! Have to start the count down soon…
