This was tough week at office. Specially because of the long weekend we lost 1 day, so the pressure was more to get the work done for the week in just 4 days. I was pretty tired last evening and was so happy the weekend was here. I guess I am turning in to a " phorography-holic " if that's even a word. Instead of kicking back and relaxing and having a drink or two I just packed up my gear and was out.
Last week when I was scouting the city for some nice view points I landed up in Longboat key. There is a nice marina there and it gives you a nice view of the high rises of the city of Sarasota and the long bridge that connects the keys to the land.
The shot was taken a bit too early, as in before the sun completely went down. This is a 10-15 second exposure shot. And the story behind it is that when i was there, along came a fellow gentleman who started a conversation with me. So we started talking about the camera, the composition and the light, and I was telling him how long exposure works .. before he started hitting on me :-) . After which I left. But when I was telling him about long exposures I took this pic to show him what I meant. Its been raining crazy in Sarasota since afternoon yesterday, hence the sky seems so blue because the clouds were all around and the sun was setting on the other side.
Now coming to the topic of this post, I have noticed that in all my night shots of this city, all the buildings look yellow and golden in color. This mostly I realized when I took the shots below. I then looked around and I could only see all yellow/gold colored lights and I was like hmmmm ..

I kind of now have a collection of Moon photographs shot in different locations in the US of A. Some of these shots are special and some I just wanted for my collection :-) . and Two from the collection are dedications ..
This one is my favorite because it was my first shot from my 70-300mm Nikor Lens. The best part is that this is a completely hand held shot. I just placed my elbow on my car and took this shot. Well I did take about 20 of them and this one was the best. It was taken in Bay Area, California.
This shot was taken in Boulder, Colorado out side my hotel room. I think it was just before the blizzard.
This photograph was taken outside Estes Park next to one of the lakes there ( Colorado). I remember it was freakishly cold and my hands were going numb setting up the camera. It almost came out okay ..
This last shot was taken tonight in Sarasota, Florida. I have been taking a lot of night shots and today I really had to wait for this one because there were so many clouds and there was no clear shot.

Point of Rocks, evidently is the the only point ( South tip of Siesta Key ) along the coast of Florida which has some kind of rocks/rock formations. The thing is that this place is advertised as a tourist attraction but there is no direct access to this point. You need to park your vehicle atleast almost a mile from the beach and then walk down. The part which has the rocks is attached to a private property, so you need to pass through the waves to get a good view. Although the waves are not strong and the water is not cold and the depth is just knee length if you want to walk across. Its definitely worth checking out this place. The beach is full of people and you can see some doing fishing over there.
