Belize

We are back! Belize was beautiful and there will be many pictures to share that are still being processed. Some of the pictures you see on here can take anywhere between 10 minutes and a few hours depending on the complexity of the shot. It was amazing to see all the docks as the water is very shallow until you get about 60 yards off shore. Every resort has their own. This was one of my favorites at sunrise!

Drop in the pond

Today's picture comes from beautiful Nicaragua. We stayed at the most amazing little place! When the tide goes down, these amazing rocks are all full with water creating thousands of mini ponds. I could have spent all day exploring these bad boys if the sun had not gone down. Loved this shot with one drop in the pond and a single local in the back ground.

Favorites

So every photographer has their favorite programs for editing and I though I would share a few of mine. I would love to hear if any of you have others that you love.
Photo Matix- This is a must for HDR. 
On One- Wonderful program that is great for adding a little flavor to your images and also great for resizing, masking and even changing focal point
Topaz Adjust - Amazing for adding detail to any photo and great creativity
Noise Ware- Remove any grain from the photo that may have come from HDR or high ISO
These are just a few of the wonderful programs that we have access to out there.

This picture comes from the breath taking Cannon Beach Oregon. Most days were a little to cloudy for much of a sunset but it was still amazing!

Thankful for the small things!

Normally in landscape type shots, I try to get pictures without people. But every once in awhile, a person makes the picture what it is. This older gentleman getting his exercise on, made the mouth full of bugs I got all worth the while. Thankful for you old guy! Look close and you might see all the little bugs flying around this pier in Menominee, MI.
