Sad scene - but beautifully captured.


Thanks for stopping by and for the comments. I'm glad I was able to capture some of the mood and feelings and project it out for others.

Very good shot and the clouds and lighting make this a perfect B & W.

I finally made it out to one of my favorite locations today and decided to take a look around to see the extent of damage that Hurricane Sally and associated storm surge had on Gulf Islands National Seashore in Perdido Key. The park only has vehicle access to the main parking lot and pavilion with further access by foot only. I was speechless as I walked along the remnants of what used to be a simple two lane road that runs through the small small barrier island.

I have many more photos that are more of a documentary nature as opposed to artistic, but this one caught my eye. For a bit of setup, what is left of this walkway was torn in half with the remaining portion somewhere floating around Perdido Bay/Big Lagoon. The dunes on either side were around 5-6 feet high and a width of a 100 or so yards. Those dunes are now non-existent with nothing but flat terrain all the way down to Big Lagoon.

Although there are now many new opportunities for photography it really adds gravity to how much power comes with these storm systems.

All comments and suggestions are welcomed as usual.

Love the image, Tony, not the least because of the great latitude it likely offers in creative processing ( assuming it is a raw image file).

Nicely photographed. After two hurricanes here there isn't anything left to photograph on our beaches. Literally - nothing but sand and eroded beachfront.

Always look forward to your comments Dave!

It is a raw file. After getting some of the basics out of the way (Filmic, exposure, lens correction, cropping, etc...) I quickly decided that this was meant for monochrome. I did go back in last night and found a version I think I like better.

Basically I used a slight two-tone filter with and almost greyish blue and yellow, with the blue being predominant and a very light hint of yellow in the highlights. Then I added a LUT file that pushed the contrast into more of a creative realm. So yeah, I think there is potential to do more, but knowing me, I would push sliders all the way to the right on any filter I add with something like GIMP....LOL

Yeah, Louisiana and Mississippi were beaten up pretty bad this past season. The gulf coast had a target painted on it with some getting more impact than others.

And this storm was a relative piker compared to others!

Cars from a relief train near Islamorada are pushed off the track following the Labor Day 1935 hurricane that ravaged portions of the Middle Keys. The Florida Keys Over-Sea Railroad, that Henry Flagler completed in 1912, was never rebuilt. Unknown MONROE COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY

Yep, there are plenty of bad ones that have hit. This one was a duration event as opposed to raw strength and speed of most strong storms. My intention wasn't to upscale Sally, or downplay other storms. I was just documenting what I saw and giving perspective to the area that I know very well.
