Moonrise over the Atlantic Ocean

March 19, 2022March 19, 2022Chris and Carol Leave a comment

Moonrise on St. Patrick’s Day along the coast on Amelia Island, Florida.

I’ve been super pleased with my new Canon EOS R mirrorless camera and as I’ve become more familiar with it I’ve ventured out and about more. I can’t say that I was ever a big moon or sunrise photographer before so I don’t think my new camera will change that but the few times I do point my camera at the moon or sun will be a more pleasurable experience. There’s really no post-production in this image except for a bit of a crop. The colors are as captured about 15 minutes after sunset. Tech notes – f11, 1/20, ISO 100 at 108mm.

Thanks for stopping by! – Chris

Signs of the times. All of the beaches on Amelia Island are now closed to humans. More than likely a good thing as few were complying with the government request to practice social distancing. This is one of our busiest times of the year with Spring Breakers, tourists, and folks from nearby Georgia, but we all must do what we can to stop the spread of COVID-19. Stay safe wherever you are!

Lots of signs and seagulls – no people.

Thanks for stopping by and y’all stay well.

Tour Guide – Amelia Island Beach 2.8.18

February 8, 2018February 8, 2018Chris and Carol 9 Comments

It’s been a very rough 6 months or so here on Amelia Island – a tropical storm passed nearby and 2 early nor’easters have wrecked havoc on our normally pristine beaches. Our tour today will show us some of the preparations underway for a large-scale beach replenishment project – moving sand from point A to B, C, D, and F.

Just lookin’ for a little peace.

Dredging and then the pumping of sand on to the beach is expected to start around March 1st. Lots of heavy machinery, pipes, and whatnot over the next 2-3 months. When they’re done our beach will be ready for whatever nature has in store this hurricane season.

Submitted for consideration for the Weekly Photo Challenge – Tour Guide

Thanks, Chris
