I’m back from Cozumel and had an amazing adventure! Although I was sad to come back home, I was also excited that I get to share images with all of you from Mexico.

Check out these amazing links to some of the most gorgous sunrises and sunsets in the world:
I was traveling on Monday, so I posted an image I took in Great Falls National Park at sunset of double waterfalls.
On my last day in Cozumel, I woke up really early to get this shot of the sun rising over the ocean.
Then I posted an image of our first sunset in Cozumel. It’s kinda crazy how enormous the clouds are and the reflection it makes in the water.
Right next to our hotel, were these rocks which made a beautiful foreground for a sunrise image.
Now, for a bird’s eye view of the rocks on the shore.

Taken right off the balcony on our first day there, the sunset was really breathtaking. Not because it was particularly colorful but because of the overwhelming clouds. I didn’t realize how the dark clouds could effect the lighting so much in the water and reflection.

Processing this image was a little difficult for me. Actually, this image and the previous sunrise image were both difficult. For this particular image, it was finding the right composition and the colorful sky. I had to do a single image HDR because the boat in the foreground kept on moving with the waves. The previous image, seen here, was difficult because I wanted there to be more color. That image also had to be a single image HDR just because of the waves moving.

Right after I tookthis image, I turned around and saw this image.

It is so humid nowadays that when I came back from this shoot, my shirt was soaking with sweat 🙂 Pretty picture right?

So, I went to my usual spot where I thought I could get a nice sunset image. I was really uninspired. I took a few shots, but nothing was really wowing me. I decided just to wait a little bit and hoped that the sky would change in a couple of minutes. So, listening to my ipod and no one being around, I felt as though I could sing and dance along with my music. Good thing my music was so inspiring cuz I would of never have turned around and looked downstream to see the sky was gorgous in the other direction! The funny thing was that after I took this image, I turned around again, and my original sunset spot was beautiful.

There was nothing particulary difficult or challenging about this shoot. I had to be patient waiting for some boats to clear the way and hoping for some nice light from the sunset. Other that it was pretty smooth.

It’s getting pretty difficult to figure new places to go around DC, especially for sunset because there are very limited spots where the sunset actaully looks good.

Hey Everyone!

Sorry, long time no vlog: here’s an update video of what I’ve been up to and whats going on in the next week. I’m so excited for the next week to come because I’m going to COZUMEL!
Watch the video below as I talk about it 🙂

Also, I mailed one of my favorite youtubers an image of the Manhattan Skyline seen here: fast foward to 22:18 if you want to see her open my picture 🙂

Now here are some of the images from last week:
I went to the National Gallery of Art and took this cool picture of the Hall of Lights
Also, I uploaded a different image of the Franscican Monesary that I visited last week, The Tomb of Christ
I tried to get a good shot of Great Falls National Park on the Maryland side and this is what I came up with.
Revisiting one of my favorite sunrise spots, I didn’t get much of a sunrise, but I got a unique perspective of the Lincoln.
Lastly, I introduced a new blogging style that I’m going to implement from here on out. Check out what that is here

That is all for now. I’m so excited for next week when I leave for Cozumel. I’m going to prepare some posts while for those days that I’m gone, but when I come back be prepared for some awesomeness!

Have a great weekend 🙂
