Summer Vacation

admin

For summer vacation this year we went to Amelia Island and spent a week relaxing, going to the nearby fort and doing a day trip to Savannah. I did not use my camera much this trip as most of the activities were water related. Also, my son brought his camera with him and I spent most of the time helping teach him photo composition tips and camera settings. I had also just been here a few months prior and got some decent shots of Amelia Island on that trip. I did get one shot of the fort I liked at Sunset.

Here are some of the shots my son captured:

Amelia Island and Boneyard Beach

I had to travel to Amelia Island for a work related conference recently. I of course brought my camera in case I had some time to do some exploring. One area I wanted to try and capture was a place called boneyard beach. It is part of a state park and consists of a stretch of shoreline that is littered with large, old, dead trees. This shoreline is only accessible during low tides. At high tide the water covers most of the trees and you can access the beach. The conditions weren’t great while I was there but I still managed to capture some fun shots. I found the conditions were more suited to black and white images vs. color.

Another fun place I spent an hour or so at the Fort Clinch State Park. It is an old civil war era fort made from bricks and sitting right on the water way separating Georgia from Florida. I tried to capture some unique images while also learning a little history.

Lastly, visited downtown Amelia Island after my meetings had concluded one evening and played around a little with some moving light photography.
