We had a few beautiful sunsets while at the beach. This is the “Flagship” it is across the street from out hotel. What grabbed my eye was that the color of the sunset was getting pretty close to the color of the street lights. So I grabbed the camera and set up the tripod and took the shot. It is a 2 1/2 second exposure to be able to grab the color out of the sky. I didn’t notice till I was processing the images, but the hotel replaces bulbs with a different type. So there is color changes for 4 of the bulbs.

Butter
Tuesday, October 6th, 2009
Everyone likes Butter!!! Butter is a Band from the Virginia Beach area. We ran across them when they were playing on one of the city stages on the beach there in Va. Beach. There are very good. But we only stayed for about 3 songs. www.Butterrocks.com
Royal Towers
Monday, October 5th, 2009
The Royal Towers Hotel. This is the famous hotel that everybody knows from the Atlantis Resort. Atlantis actually has 5 hotels, a condo hi-rise, and time share community. So it is far bigger than just this hotel that everybody knows. This is a very surreal image, but it is kinda how I remember it. They sky was always so blue, and when there were clouds, they were rather dramatic. Things are painted subdued colors, but are very vivid at the same time. We were here on out 10th Anniversary And want to come back for the 15th.
King Neptune
Wednesday, September 30th, 2009This picture is actually about a year old. This is the King Neptune statue in Virginia Beach. I took it during the ’08 ”Neptune Festival” It was mid evening…the sun was down but this deep blue color was still in the sky. The contrasting colors was great, and the shot begged to be taken. And with the extra lights for the festival along the boardwalk, Neptune was lit perfectly.
