Bimini 2016: Day 1 – Fort Lauderdale, Florida

by

Just a quick update from the road. I’m headed out to Bimini (one of the Bahama Islands) to swim with dolphins, and the first leg of the trip is complete.

Wildquest sets the group up with reservations at the Bahia Mar Doubletree in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for the Sunday night before the charter flight out. We won’t spend much time here, but the facilities appear to be decent. Check was delayed by having two rooms requested next to each other however. Once we got to the room, however, the view was pretty nice

2016-07-04 Fourth of July Fireworks

by

Just a few shots I took at a local fireworks show during this year’s Fourth of July festivities.

I was hand-timing the exposures with a wired remote, and playing with results from different apertures, so you’ll see the results vary a bit by group.

Since the photos were shot with a fisheye lens, I’m actually able to turn the shots into a semispherical VR panorama, so that you can actually see the fireworks from the actual perspective I did. I’m still going through the shots to find which work best for that, but I’ll post them here when I do. (So keep an eye on this post. 🙂
