Adventure Photography and Photo Walks

Wednesday

Light Painting!

With various light sources ranging from flashlights to sparklers to glow sticks we created some very cool photographs on the Gifford Dock over the Indian River at twilight.

15th Annual Raid on Ft. Pierce

Sponsored by the Sons of Confederate Veterans, George W. Thomas Camp #1595. Raid is hosted by the Southern Volunteer Battalion CSA and the 4th Brigade US. This two day reenactment had historic camps and events along with battles on both days. It was very exciting to step back in time.

Beach Twilight and Sunrise Shoot

The early risers in our group got a pre-dawn start to photograph twilight and the sunrise with the Vero Beach pier in the foreground. We started with twilight blue skies and shining stars and finished with the golden sun.

Vero Beach-Halloween Parade and Costume Contest

It has been a while since our group photographed this parade and we had beautiful weather for it! This event was good practice for street/event photography. The parade of costumed children alongside their parents strolled through downtown. It was great fun for all!

Tuesday

ROCKET LAUNCH-Atlas 5 • Morelos 3

Launch site: SLC-41, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida

A United Launch Alliance Atlas 5 rocket, designated AV-060,launched on the early morning of October 2nd at 6:28 EDT! The Morelos 3 payload aboard is a communications satellite for the Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transportation. The rocket will flew in the 421 vehicle configuration with a four-meter fairing, two solid rocket boosters and a single-engine.

Nice morning for Florida Launch!

Shore Lb. Thro Down Skimboard Contest

The Adventure Photography and Photo Walks Group spent Labor Day photographing the local annual Skinboard Competition in Vero Beach, FL. Our challenge this month was the capturing the FAST ACTION using higher shutter speeds. The spray off the boards makes for some spectacular abstract patterns! Always a good time even though it was VERY HOT!!

MOVING WATER-Waterfalls

The Adventure Photography and Photo Walks Group spent the early evening of August 14th photographing man made waterfalls and a fountain in Port St. Lucie, Florida. Our challenge was to wait on the low level lighting of twilight to allow us to shoot at slow shutter speeds. Some of the members used neutral density filters to get a jump on things! As the light lowered some of the artificial light that was available played off the water which made for some nice effects!

In September we will work on fast shutter speeds as we try and capture the action of skim boards at the beach so stay tuned!
