New Jersey Sunset Blurs

We had a beautiful sunset the other day.  Unfortunately, I was a little late and without a tripod.  Rather than abandon the whole thing, I decided to go for motion blurs.  I think the images turned out more interesting than if it was just a sunset.

These shots are pretty close to out-of-the-camera.  I used a little Alien Skin Exposure, but not much.

This last one was more a product of curiosity.  It is the same shot as the one above, but I used some of the black and white filters in Alien Skin Exposure to do a sepia tone version of the shot above.

The Costa Rica Pic of the day

As I am now starting to cull out the "B" shots, I thought I would include this one.  This is of an oriole I had taken in Sarapiqui.

Here's another iguana shot.  I used the Alien Skin Exposure software to mirror a Fuji Velvia 50 slide film.

Here's another hummingbird photo.  This is from the same place, the Peace Garden.

The Costa Rica Pic of the day

Here's a photo of a hummingbird I made while in Costa Rica.  This was taken at a the Peace Garden by La Paz waterfall.  The Peace Garden is a really stunning place to visit.  They have a hummingbird garden, monkeys, butterfly garden, and some great trails to see the waterfalls.

Here's the third installment of my trip from Costa Rica pix.  This is a kingfisher taken off the Sarapiqui river.

 

New Costa Rica Image

Here's my new costa rica image for the day.  It is a close up of a green iguana.  I took this in the Sarapiqui area.

Back from Costa Rica

The wife and I went to Costa Rica for 10 days.  Costa Rica is a very (and I mean very) tough place to photograph.  The light is always sketchy and the most interesting items are always under a canopy of trees and foliage.  I will share what I have felt were decent pix over the next few posts.

Here's probably my favorite.  I like the expression on the heron's face.
