Roatan Honduras

The first stop on our cruise was the island of Roatan.  We took a tour to the Carambola Botanical Gardens.  It was an absolutely terrible day.  It was raining and humid.  I wanted to get some good flower pictures, but it was almost impossible.  I did get a really good shot of an orchid.

Following that, our bus toured the west side of the island, stopping in a small village. From there, we went to a resort area.  I got this picture at the resort.  It took some manipulation to better balance the details and the contrast, but it was worth it.

Cruise 2013 – Galveston before we left

We went on a cruise a couple weeks ago.  Prior to departing, you sit on the boat and wait. While waiting, I did get a couple of interesting shots.  Then, when we did sail away, I was able to get a couple more really good ones.

This is another HDR shot.  I shot it from the deck of the ship and did my best to get a straight shot along 25th St.  The deck I was on ended a little short of where I really wanted to be, but this worked pretty well.  You can see from the harbor all the way to the Pleasure Pier.

As we were sailing away, I was able to get this HDR image of The Elissa.

HOTPPG – “Trash the Dress”

The last thing we did was the bride got into the lake wearing her dress. This was a group shoot rather than just individuals.

This one was nice, but you can’t tell she’s actually in the water. In the one below, she is obviously in the water.

HOTPPG “Bridal”

Melanie served as our “Bride.  I tried to get on of those really popular shots with the train/veil being blown out by the wind.  It did not work all that well, but the shot isn’t that bad.

Again, the lighting was working against me, but I did manage to get a few nice bridal portraits.
