My visit to Myrtle Beach

Last week my folks flew me up to see them. I had a great time. I got to see their new house, hang out with my sister and her husband, John. This is a shot from the airplane window on takeoff.

My family took me to see a very cool castle called Atalaya. Spanish for watchtower. It was built in the 20's by Archer Huntington. Here is a shot I got of the path to the courtyard.

Right before we got inside the castle there was this amazing upside down rainbow. ( Correction. It's actually called a solar halo. Just found that out ) I've never seen anything like it. (Click the pic for a full shot)

And for this last photo. I was actually able to get my sister up at 5:30 to go with me to catch a sunrise on the beach. Well, unfortunately, there were so many clouds seeing the sun was impossible. Instead I decided on this pier with a long exposure shot. Shortly after it started raining.

A Naples Sunset

Took this photo last week when my folks were visiting. I thought that this evening worked out pretty well. The clouds were not as colorful as I wanted, but the end result turned out pretty well.

Trying some portraits

I think I have always been into landscape and architecture. Recently I have been enjoying seeing other photographers portraits. There's some amazing shots out there. I wanted to improve my portrait shots, because I want to get some nice shots of Baylee. Here is one of my Dad dreaming about that sailboat he wants to get one day.

I just got back into photography after many years. I ran into HDR photography and thats what sparked my interest to get back into it.

For those of you who don't know me my name is Kenny B. I recently just married the women of my dreams. :) And now I'm going to be a father! She will be born in August. Life moves at you fast doesnt it?

On to the blog. I guess I wanted to start one so I could go into a little more detail on some of my photos. Of course I dont have that much to offer just yet so be patient.My first photos I would like to post is my first "succesful" hdr image. I was with my friend Howard at the Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary in Naples, FL. It was about 7:00AM. We were the first one's there.
