Downtown Ft. Pierce Photo Walk-Green Market

"Old Florida" I believe our state is rich in history and also decaying history! Some of our history has been lost, some will be lost, and some is being preserved. "Downtown Ft. Pierce Photo Walk" was in Ft. Pierce, FL. We photographed the historic aspects of the city and Marina as the sun is rising around the downtown area. There is also a large farmers market every Saturday morning that provided great colors and textures to photograph.

Full Moon Outing at Sebastian Inlet State Park Bridge

We shot the full moon at the Sebastian Inlet State Park. There was a great vantage point from the new restaurant Inlet Grill that overlooked the fishing pier. Some photographers enjoyed this birds eye view while others wandered the park for a different perspective.

Tour-Historic Savannah Georgia

We spent a weekend in picturesque Savannah, GA touring the historic sites such as the Squares, City Market, Forsythe Park, Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, Bonaventure Cemetary and more. The elaborate architectural details on the buildings, colorful blooming azaleas, and historic statues throughout the city provided a wealth of opportunities for us to shoot.

Friday

Bird Photography at Viera Wetlands

There are few places that have a higher number of species readily accessible to the camera than Viera Wetlands. This is a great place for both the beginner and expert nature photographer to get excellent images of many species of birds, mammals, and reptiles. An early start is needed in order to catch the best light. We had a misty fog during sunrise which made for some interesting photos! The photographers definitely took advantage of the moody ambiance it created.
