well Ive been meaning to get back to one of my favorite spots in Florida to photograph, Flagler Beach,, this is the first time this year actually that Ive been back,, its been calling my name for quite sometime but we've had such dry weather here throughout the spring, virtually NO rain,, which means NO clouds, especially early in the morning,, whats a sunrise without some clouds ?? So we had some rain Saturday night and I was thinking Sunday would be a good day to go, as I woke it was still raining and I almost blew it off but I decided to give it a go,, you know with the rising cost of fuel these days, it cost me $40.00 to go there and back so I need to be somewhat more selective,, here are a few from Sunday morning,, with more on my Flickr page for those who are interested,, all in this series are shot with my Canon 40D, Canon 10-22 wa, tripod mounted, Singh Ray warming polarizer and a 3 stop GND filter

    Boy, #1 and #4 are just killer shots. Beautiful light, lovely reflective light, great FG and I like the shutter speed you used.

    My wife and I both like the last shot the best. Is that rock on the beach or concrete? The Florida I know, Amelia Island birthplace, does not have any rock on the beach and I do not remember seeing it anywhere else.

    Thank you Doug and Knapp,,
    Knapp, these rocks are natural to this area, its called coquina rock, the Spanish used to use this rock to make their forts with, very durable and when it was hit by a cannonball it wouldnt explode like concrete would,, you are right though in that most ALL of Florida's beach's are swimmer/tourist friendly and very few have rocks, at least like these,,
    Thanks again for commenting guys thumb.gifthumb
