Windsurfer in Miami Beach
Here is another photo of a windsurfer dude. They were pretty common in Miami Beach. Whenever the weather is right, you see the fellows. I only go to the beach when the weather is right. A lot of people have the bad habit of going out when its raining, or just thundering. Recently, two fellows had gone out of their job area to do whatever. Anyhow, the point of the story is that they both got struck by lightning, and one of them died. Getting struck by lightning is pretty terrible, and I hope to God that it never happens...
Tinkering with Camera
A lot of people buy fancy cameras and never use anything of their amassing features. A couple of years ago, I was bored at the beach. I am usually bored in Miami Beach, so I take photos. This time I decided to play around with the programs of the camera. The feature of this photo adds a weird shinny effect in certain places. I do not know how the camera decides what deserves this effect. Another fun gimmick is the color isolator. It singles out a single color and it leaves the rest in black and white. Photoshop can do...
Sunset over Miami Beach
This is quite the cute photo of the sunset. I took it from the car while going home. It took a bit of tweaking with the camera to make the photo work. Getting a photo from a moving vehicle, with low lite is a bit hard. Cameras work best with light. Taking night photos requires a tripod, and long overexposure. By messing with the amount of lights, I was able to take this photo. I focused mostly in the sky, this gives the buildings a nice dark feel to them. The sky was particularly red that day. Most good sunsets...
Kite Surfer in Miami Beach
A few years ago I took this random photo of a kite surfer dude. I tried to frame it in a way that featured him and the kite. It is usually fun to try to see them dock. After all, the kite is designed to propel them through the water at quick speed. Some times I see them crashing into the shore. It is also interesting whenever they try to take off. They usually are already getting about by the time I arrive. They must start their little games early in the morning. The photo was a bit crooked, so...
Be What You Dream Photo
While in Miami Beach I saw this cool mural on a wall. I am not certain if it is still there or not. I also do not remember where I saw this. I tend to take a lot of photos and only now I bothered to look through them. It was something I did to pass the time in the beach. I never did like swimming in the beach. Aside from waiting for the time to pass, there was not much for me to do. I am afraid of fishes. That point aside, here is the cool mural. It has...
