Cupecoy Beach

This is the view of the beach we have when we walk to the back of our condo complex.  From a technical point of view, I’m not that in love with this shot.  It was an attempt at HDR that failed because my cameras battery died after two shots into a five shot sequence.  And, as fate would have it, my camera battery charger is also dead.  So I Photoshoped this one together the best I could, but a trained eye (Steve Martinez) will spot the problems.  The lowlights are way under exposed.

Still, it’s a beautiful beach.

Once we all returned from the island and settled back into our home in St. Cloud, Minnesota, we selected a photo of our home town for the next blog background.  The change from Caribbean-sunset oranges and sandy-beach browns to the forest greens of Minnesota is stark.

This is the background image we kept on the blog for the entire time we were in St. Martin.

The first background image was taken on a trip to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in Northern Minnesota in the fall of 2010.  As we’ve lived in Minnesota most of our lives, we figured it was a good way to start this blog.
