Bondi Beach (HDR)

Weather for surfing at Bondi Beach, Australia? Wicked.

Did you know that this was considered one of the world’s top 10 pools? Imagine how cool it is when Bondi ocean waves crash onto the chlorine water. Fusion. Awesomeness.

Here’s me being shark bait.

Oh, and yes, it was an HDR image.

SS Maheno was en route to Japan for scrap metal and ended up on Fraser Island, Australia, in 1935.

New York Central Park

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

I was in New York for the 2010 Bridal Market and Wedding Style‘s book launch party at the Plaza Hotel. Just before meeting up with Yanni Tzoumas (Executive Editor), I decided to walk around Central Park.

I did not mean to, but I bought a scarf, tie and a hot dog from street vendors. What? I’m supporting the community. As odd as it was to have a hot dog for breakfast, I sat down and watched the birds harass the horses for a bit.

Out of courtesy, and because I was sitting down anyway, I took an HDR image of the horse carriages queued up for a trot.

I ♥ NY…and I love it even more because I love “Sex and the City.”

P.S. It was freezing in December, but I missed out on the snow. Sad day.

Sunset in Rome, Italy

Wednesday, January 19th, 2011

Yesterday, I was looking up various destinations for a potential holiday. While on Contiki’s website, I stumbled upon Europe and was reminded of a photo I wanted to enlarge for my wall.

I quickly sifted through my archives and found a sunset in Rome, Italy. I was walking along a bridge when this scenic view melted my heart. It was too bad that the couple I was photographing was not there. Otherwise, I would have loved to take advantage of the golden rays.

One of my friends just photographed a wedding in Rome, Italy – with the colosseum, ruins, etc. I won’t deny it…I was a bit jealous. Anyway, until next time…

Ciao Bella,

P.S. I’m considering the Outback territory of Australia or an African safari…too bad I can’t just do both!

Alaska Landscape Photos

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

Last week I went to Vancouver, Canada for Image Explorations as the opening speaker where I discussed a number of business strategies for wedding photographers.

Afterwards, Julie and I hopped onto a Princess Cruise to see the Alaskan glaciers before they all melt. What a sight! I have never seen anything so majestic. After uploading it to facebook, a number of friends asked for a copy as a wallpaper. So here it is!

It’s all set for 1920×1200 resolution (so even for HD monitors) and HDR.

P.S. Yeah, Alaska was cold, but I still ate ice cream.
