The Lighthouse at Bill Baggs State Park



While in Florida, one of the places that we always enjoy visiting is the lighthouse at Bill Baggs State Park on Key Biscane. This was my best day for taking photographs of the lighthouse. The only beach where I can stand to take the photograph is north of the lighthouse and so it means that taking the photograph is almost always into to the sun. This day, as you can see was a very cloudy day so I knew I had a chance for a good photograph. I used my Nikon d3 with a 28mm wide angle lens. The lens caused the lighthouse to lean just a little bit but I still like the photograph.

Ilana Yahav - Sand Fantasy - Video Clips

We attended the Kendall United Methodist Church this morning while we were visiting in Miami. Since it is close to valentines day, they played this beautiful video which is like nothing I have ever seen. Click on this link and then click on the video called Love 2008. I think it is one of those things that you will watch over and over and say, how does anyone do something like that!

Enjoy

Joan and I are currently in Florida visiting family. Yesterday we went to Fort Lauderdale and I took some photos of a kite boarder. This was being done on what I would call the public beach right near all the bars. What fun it was to photograph him doing jumps while being pulled by a kite! This was a place where you could rent the equipment and take lessons if you wanted to. Let's just say that this didn't look like a sport I could do... I used my Nikon D3 and my 400 mm lens for these photos. I used f/14 for a big depth of field.
