It was rainy and stormy on 90% of a recent extended weekend trip to southwest coast of Florida, but it didn’t dampen spirits and fun.\u00a0 I had a great time with incredible friends and family – my bud Carl,\u00a0 good friend Brent, brother Larry, and\u00a0 sister-in-law Jude.\u00a0 Carl, Brent and I chased and ran from storms, as well as waded knee deep in the Everglades Big Cypress swamp.\u00a0 In between, Larry and Jude were the perfect hosts, feeding us like kings, giving us a place to lay our heads, and playing\u00a0 chief meteorologists.\u00a0 Thanks guys!<\/p>\n

Below are some of my favorites from the visit.\u00a0 I’ve been working on my post processing, trying to produce a more film-like look with natural tonal transitions, producing natural colors, and pulling out more detail where possible.\u00a0 Still working on it, but I hope these do the scenes justice (which the internet never does).<\/p>\n
