Boardwalk Reflections

I love the way the setting sun lights up the boardwalk at Green Cay Wetlands.
 "For a photographer this is a magic moment... about 45 minutes before sunrise, light is already starting to push back the dark.  I open my camera and let nature paint me a picture."  Steve Coleman

This one is actually Wakodahatchee Wetlands (above).  I don't go there quite as often, but it has the same kind of boardwalk. 
Any time of day is a great day at Green Cay.  This boardwalk is old, dirty and weathered, but the golden light of the sun really lights it up and makes it look beautiful.

Weston Explosion - Softball Team

Today I spent a few hours at a softball game. 

This is the Weston Explosion girls softball team.  Loving the action shots! 
It was a nice day for softball, and I think I am becoming a sports photographer!

Boca Raton Bobcats Swimming

For someone that doesn't like sports, I seem to be photographing a lot of it lately.  But once I photographed volleyball a few times, I realized that sports are definitely where the great action shots are.
A friend of mine at work as a son on the swim team, so I asked if she would like some photographs of him.  Really, I am just trying to get more experience with all kinds of lighting situations.  I love the action shots!  But each setting has it's own challenges to overcome. 

I enjoyed photographing these kids.  They are on the High School Swim Team at Boca Raton High School.  Go Bobcats!

The shot below is one of my favorites.  "Friends and Competitors"

Sunset at Green Cay Wetlands

It was a Friday night and I didn't have much to do.  It rains a lot in the summer here in South Florida, so the skies have been cloudy a lot lately.  But I thought I'd try to see if I could capture the sunset.
I haven't really found a great sunset location yet, still working on that.
But the skies were interesting on this evening, and it was worth the trip.
