Adventure Photography and Photo Walks: 2014

Monday

50th Annual St. Helen's Harvest Festival

The Adventure Photography and Photo Walks Group spent an evening photographing the colorful rides at the The St. Helen’s Harvest Festival. It was great fun playing with long exposures to blur the action. This community event held annually at Vero Beach Sports Village provides an opportunity for the entire parish and community to work together and to get to know one another.

Wednesday

Fountain Shoot in Jupiter

The Adventure Photography and Photo Walks Group photographed the fountains outside of "Frenchman's Reserve" in Jupiter. We waited until twilight when the fountain lights turned on to photograph the numerous fountains outside the development. It was good to practice with shutter speeds and the flowing water.

Cracker Boy Boat Yard

Cracker Boy Boat Yard is a working boat yard in Fort Pierce. Hidden in the back of the yard are "shipwrecked" boats with colorful peeling paint and rusty metals. The rest of the yard houses newer boats with some of them being restored. It is a great place to be creative with our cameras!

Old Florida-McKee Botanical Gardens

The Adventure Photography and Photo Walks Group visited McKee Botanical Gardens in Vero Beach. The water lilies are in full bloom at this time of year and the gardens have an exquisite collection of the flowers. Listed in the National Registry of Historic Places, McKee was founded by Waldo Sexton in 1922 by the McKee-Sexton Land Company. Once boasting over 100,000 visitors per year as a tourist attraction, today the gardens are primarily used for events, exhibits, education and the enjoyment of nature enthusiasts. With the sun shining bright, the group members were challenged to find blooms in shade. Some even tried to to photograph objects other than flowers.

Tuesday

Night Lights Photography Outing-Roosevelt Bridge

The Adventure Photography and Photo Walks Group of Vero Beach braved the rain while photographing The Roosevelt Bridge and Marina in Stuart, Florida. The sparkling lights on the bridge and along the waterway during twilight made for some beautiful photography!

Wednesday

Vero Beach Airshow

The Blue Angels were the stars of the Vero Beach Airshow that the Adventure Photography and Photo Walks Group attended. Our group photographed thrilling performances put on by the best airshow acts in the country. It was an action packed show with plenty of land and air displays to photograph.

Bok Tower Gardens

Adventure Photography and Photo Walks spent the day wandering through Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, FL. We enjoyed photographing the scenic gardens, Singing Tower carillon and historic 1930's Mediterranean-style mansion. The colorful blooms, reflective ponds and unique sculptures provided beautiful photographic vignettes.

Tuesday

The Adventure Photography and Photo Walks Group spent an evening at the Firefighters’ Indian River County Fair photographing the lights of the midway after sunset. There was much to photograph including the fair food, games of skill and games of chance, exciting rides, concessions, booths and carnival activities for the whole community.
