Round and round we go

Where did the time go? I had all these plans to post my Virginia Beach photos and then all of a sudden two weeks have passed since my last post. Anyway, here's another Virginia Beach scene from Labor Day. I was experimenting with available light ... something I'm slowly getting better at.

Fired up over fireworks

One of the cool things about this past weekend at Virginia Beach was having fireworks over the ocean each night. But at the same time, what you see here is what you get. However, with the long boardwalk, tons of hotels and drunken runners who were watching an awful B52's concert, I was surprised that on the last night there weren't more. They could easily have a quarter-mile of boats lined up shooting fireworks.

Anyway, I guess this isn't the place to complain ... it's just a place to show you what I captured. You'll have to excuse these photos from not being a little better -- I was battling high humidity and a foggy lens. I basically just held down the button and hoped for the best.

Weird skies and rides

I just returned from a weekend at Virginia Beach and captured some interesting shots that I'll share over the next week or so. This first one is near a so-called amusement park. The photo makes it look cooler than it really is. What I like about this shot, though, is the eerie sky. It looks like a tornado could just pop out.
