Another piece from my trip to Corpus Christi… this Great Blue Heron came in for a landing right at sunset. We were sitting on the dock admiring the view when he swooped in.

I shot backup for dear friend Heather at a wedding recently… actually, I also shot at Jackie’s bridal a month ago, but couldn’t share those widely because she didn’t want Ty to see them.
I don’t shoot a lot of weddings.. I decided a while back that I did not like them enough. I will still shoot the occasional one, but only if they are looking for a particular style that I provide.. I like the cool posed stuff like this more than the PJ type work you end up doing at receptions and even during the ceremony.
So here is my favorite shot from the wedding day… and then a bonus from her bridals.
I shot this image a while back and only just took the time to retouch it. I loved the way the colors came out… and really loving my Canon G11.
I already posted the great sunset shot from early in the week last Friday, but here are a few others that I really enjoyed.
Even though I was on vacation, I did get up one morning to catch the sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico. Lost a contact on the beach, though.. that was no fun, but found a nice lady at the mall who helped get me a replacement right away.
Loved the way the sun was shining through this palm frond..
Enjoyed this great silhouette of a couple playing with their dog at sunset.
I pointed my camera at breaking waves a bunch of times over the week and captured this on one of the last days. Its a lot more challenging than it looks to get a great wave shot.
We had major fog for a day and a half of the trip, so I used it to my advantage capturing this image of the historic line camp inside the Padre Island National Seashore (a national park just south of where we stayed).

I am back from a much needed week long break in Corpus Christi, Texas. While there, I worked quite a bit at recharging my creative energies and I think I was pretty successful. There are some new ideas at hand.. and some modifications of some old ones.
In the meantime, enjoy this sunset shot on my trip..
