Oldekid and wife, went to the oldest city (St. Augustine), and stayed at the Old City House Inn.

I took a lot of normal tourist type shots, but some of these are a little different, so I thought I would share.


1. I just liked the morning light in this one.

2. Southern style homeland security.

3. Some interesting curves. My wife called me a "pervert!".

4. One of the locals, with some character.

5. A spitting frog?

Ken,
With a DSLR, it's not all about the camera. Here is an example of a quick fix I did on a rather boring shot, straight out of my camera. After a few minutes of post processing in Photoshop, it looks pretty good.
