Those images are straight out of the camera, I did no color enhancement. As you stand on the beach looking out at these scenes the colors will change dramatically in just a matter of seconds. In the last throws of light you can get four different looks in the course of one minute. This place can really come with the sunsets.
Yesterday evening (last year), as I was photographing the little girl with the birds, a pair of dolphins cruised past not forty feet off shore. They would surface every hundred feet or so as they paralleled the shore line. I missed them each time they came up. The imagery around here is so rich I think I'm going to have to try my hand at painting some of these scenes.
Snow covered the landscape, rime in the evening as the sun set.
On my way back home from work (thatching) I happened to drive behind a car that was hit by a pheasant. I took the pheasant with me home and used it for a photo session for a later still life, and after that the pheasant itself ended up in the freezer.
