A typical sunset in Ormond Beach! I made the colors bolder and added contrast.

We really get some amazing sunsets in Florida. As always, editing helped this one along, but it was breathtaking to begin with.

A view across the lake. The water was in fact quite green, but I corrected that by changing the white balance.

This is a new edit of a photo I took in 2005. The original was quite dull, but with a simple contrast enhancement it became a memorable photo.

A sunrise from December of 2005. I had to get up early that day to take my ACT college entrance exam which I got a composite score of 28/36 on. In two weeks I will finally finish my A.A. degree.

Actually, I used a flashlight. But that is the moon overhead. This is from 7 A.M. in November of 2005 (after Daylight Saving Time ended).
