SLO Downtown Criterium Cycling Classic.
This B/W conversion won 1st place with a Special Judges Award at the California Mid-State Fair, July 2011, Paso Robles, CA.
A lot of practice went into this image as it took 124 tries to get a riders face in focus using the Corey Zoom Effect. Gotta be a better way!

This is one of the classic shots seen many times of Maya Bay with tourist boats parked on the bay. Its difficult to get vacant beach in middle of the day but somehow I have managed to get a section of the beach without any tourists having sun tan in the frame!!
This is single RAW file tonemapped and digitally blended using Photoshop.

Maya Bay is a stunningly beautiful bay that’s sheltered by 100-metre high cliffs on three sides. Inside the bay there are several beaches, most are small and some only exist at low tide. The main one is around 200 metres long with silky soft white sand, underwater colourful coral and exotic fish in exceptionally clear water; the whole bay is one big reef.
Maya Bay has become the main tourist attraction of Phi Phi since The Beach was filmed here in 1999. It was always very popular before the film but now people around the world who haven’t even heard of Phi Phi have certainly heard of Maya Bay.
The bad news; as it’s so beautiful and so well known many boats are required to ferry all the visitors in and out. On any given day at any time there will be 30 + speedboats and longtail boats on the beach, with large ferry boats carrying hundreds of snorkelers and sightseers moored in deeper water. Beautiful it is, secluded it isn’t – thousands of people visit each day. Try to visit early in the morning or after 17:00 and you’ll avoid the crowds.

911 Memorial LIghts – New York City and Brooklyn Bridge
***Dedicated to the almost 3,000 victims… We will never forget!
I miss New York so much now that I’ve moved back to Florida. I wish I was there to see the 911 memorial lights again this year in person. The best I can do is post some from last year that were never shared.
