I’m not even sure if these buildings were ever schoolhouses, but I came up with a catchy post title and I’m sticking with it! 🙂 These are just a couple of old rural buildings I came across during my travels and I thought they looked interesting. I basically shot them from the road so I didn’t get to put much effort…

Purple palm trees!
I thought I would post a nice colorful photo for this weekend. A night-time street scene on Ocean Drive in Miami Beach. I would think a thousand other tourists have a similar shot, but nobody I saw walking by with cameras bothered to point it in the same direction. It’s not often that I make the attempt at an after dark photo, mostly…
Outside the Monastery
Just continuing my series on the Ancient Spanish Monastery in Miami. The exterior shots, in my opinion, aren’t as dramatic as the interior shots from my previous post, but I thought someone might like them. I used the same gear ( I had to….it was all I had 😉 ) for all of the shots. Again I did some black and white…
Sea and surf
Until I get done processing more of the monastery photos, I thought I would show a few beach photos. Waking up and hearing the ocean and taking walks on the beach in the evening were some of the relaxing moments of my trip. It’s a different feeling that you don’t get in Pennsylvania. I kept most of my beach shooting…
Moving a monastery to Miami
On Friday, after checking out of our hotel in Miami, we had a few hours to fill before heading to the airport. I remembered seeing a sign for an “Ancient Spanish Monastery” during our travels and thought that it may be worth exploring to waste some time and grab a few photos. It was easy enough to find, situated on a…
Changes in latitude
Well after a few days in Miami I am back home. To go from 80ºF with the sound of a Lamborghini driving by to 40ºF with the sound of a four-color Cavalier driving by is too much of a culture shock 🙂 . Regardless, I had a good time with my wife and enjoyed the change in scenery. I didn’t get…
Something different
Something different from me anyhow. A bit of a touristy travel photo. Shot with a phone, no less. I’ll elaborate a little later. Let’s just say I’m relaxed right now. Tropical Pink
Same subject, same day
Different camera. Just a different take on the blossoms I showed the other day in black and white. This shot was taken with a different camera but at the same place. I went with a completely different processing on this one though. I liked the brightness of it and the muted tones. Completely different from the heavy contrast of the…
What lurks down below
I spotted these graffiti ghost a few weeks ago and thought I would like to get a photo of them. Unfortunately every time I am in the area it’s usually the middle of the day. I shot this photo close to high noon, not the best time of day for photography. The ideal time would have been very or morning…
Watch those auto levels
One of the first things I do when I open a RAW file in Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) is hit the “auto” button which corrects the levels to what it thinks is right for the image. Most times it does a good job and I only have to make a few tweaks on the sliders before opening the file in…
