Another (Storm) Cloud photo.

Clouds have certainly been, by sheer chance, an ongoing subject with my posts in the past few days and today was no exception. I was waiting for the folks for my first shoot of the evening to arrive while keeping an eye on  this big storm that was moving in and thankfully it stalled and eventually disbursed. I took a couple of test shots.

 I got some great portrait shots with that dramatic sky!

Face In The Cloud

 It seems that I've had my head in the clouds during the past couple of days, but hey, I see what I see.

 Right before I saw that dragon flying around in the twilight sky in the previous post, this chubby face caught my eye.

 I can't help think about the giant Sta-Puft marshmallow man from Ghost Busters when I see it. heh.

I promise you that I did no creative photo editing... even where his "face" looks 

brighter than the rest of the cloud..that's the way it was in the sky.

More Stuff From Today.

Well, the evening brought my evening photo session at Cherry Grove Beach / pier A big family beach shoot..nice folks from Ohio, and more surfers! These folks were fun.

Um...girls..

The family that goofs together...

Another girly surfer!

After the shoot was done, twilight had settled in. I walked 

around the pier and down to the spooky part of the beach. heh.

Cloud Bomb

I was at 43rd Ave.N this morning doing another morning shoot and while walking back towards the dunes this large cloud that had been blocking the sun for most of the morning decided it was carrying enough water and started to rain. It looked like a bomb went off and about to turn into a mushroom cloud...which it never did of course. heh.  To get an idea of sheer monster size of that cloud look at the buildings up the coast in North Myrtle Beach at the left of the photo.

Have fun...

Wayward Surfer Girls

You gotta be dedicated - borderline hardcore surfer girls to get up early and drive all the way from Charlotte, NC to Myrtle Beach, SC to surf at 7:30AM. Except for when tropical storms and hurricane activity is close by, Myrtle Beach is not known for particularly large waves. You earn your surfboard ride here most all of the time! Just having fun has it's merits as well.

Been busy...

..this week. Here's a couple favorite of mine for the week.I have a few more to add when I get to them.

 Have fun.

Holga

 With the great majority of the cameras out there these days, they can, for the most part, faithfully reproduce what our eyes see. Then there's the Holga. The Holga, as I like to describe it, is a piece crap disguised as a camera. It is a glowing example of imperfection, but therein lies is beauty. It's the idiot savant of the photography world. What is so bad in the regular photography world makes the Holga shine. Light leaks..over the top lens vignetting..guesstimation focusing and the list goes on. Above all that, sometimes it's just plain magical.

   

Goofs...

...having fun.

Last one...

...shooting towards the sun for a while. There's grand dad, son, mom and dad. I like this one.


...enjoy. 

Another Day...

...at the beach. These girls were amazing with their athleticism and gymnastic talent.
