It was a blustery day on the coast as I jumped out of the car between squalls to aim the camera in the most dangerous and interesting direction. This camera is fairly good at keeping out water, although I’ve never tested it in a torrent… nor do I want to… even though I do have the sweet Nikon D3x on my mind…
The striated Florida clouds seemed to streak across the sky every evening we were there. It was hard for me to drink in all the great photography opportunities there… just too much for the senses! Needless to say, no one got to go on any rides during the sunset hour as I had them all goose-stepping around the park to get good locations that I had secretly been scouting the whole day!
I thought this was a perfect little stage, beautifully lit in the evening. This was shot on the night of the Pirates and Princesses Party at Disneyworld, where all the kids would come dressed as one or the other. This is a little area where the little girls come to listen to stories read by Cinderella and Snow White…
Yesterday’s shot was a bit macabre (but cool!), so here is something a bit lighter for the weekend.
Whenever the sun starts to set at Disney, everyone rushes for the castle to watch a special show preceding the fireworks.
Shot across the bay between swells of the storm… The storm came across the sound very quickly right at sunset, so the fast-moving clouds made a new painting every few minutes… This one is my favorite from the batch I took.
Dusk falls on the pink Cinderella castle in the Magic Kingdom. It was a quiet night… not too many people around.
Here are some nice textures, scattered around this unique restaurant in Palm Beach.
This hotel is great. We have a room that overlooks the Savannah and we can see giraffes, zebras, and about a dozen other exotic animals frolicking about. Thank goodness I brought the 200mm lens… although this one was taken with the 10mm Sigma.
Last night we had the Pirates and Princesses party. I was trying to figure out why so many adults were standing in line to get autographs from a Disney actor that was pretending to be Jack Sparrow, another actor. Mass hysteria, I say!
I’m here with the family in Disneyworld for a few days. I hear a lot of, "Dad comon we gotta get a FastPass," and "Dad comon didn’t you take pictures last year?" But the clouds are different. THE CLOUDS ARE DIFFERENT! 
Everyone ran for cover, and I ran for the tripod. It’s not like metal attracts lightning or anything… comon, that is a problem in microwaves… not storms… everyone knows that.
An early morning thunderstorm comes across the Atlantic towards Palm Beach in Florida…
It’s just slightly nicer than the Motel 6 way down the road, and they even let you play soccer there in the grass.
I was lucky that it was very stormy there and the rain let up right at dusk.
This is one of the most famous hotels in Palm Beach.
