One of my many Pensacola Beach sunsets captured during a golden hour. This shot was captured with the Sony A7M3 using the FE 24-70mm F2.8 GM lens. The handheld shot had camera settings of 1/30 sec at f/22, ISO 200.
As I hiked along the shoreline I was out hiking with just the Sony ZV-1. It was a cloudy afternoon along the shoreline on the grounds of Naval Live Oaks Nature Preserve (North Side) in Gulf Breeze Florida during the late afternoon. Handled shot captured with the Sony ZV-1 with camera settings of 1/160 sec at f/5.6, ISO 125.
Camera used for this handheld shot was the Sony A75 with using the FE 70-200mm F4.0 Macro OSS II, + 2X teleconverter. For this handheld shot camera setting were 1/3200 sec at f/8.0, ISO 1600. Post processing done with Adobe Lightroom Classic.

Even though I love to travel all over the US I also enjoy just doing local travel. A couple of weeks ago on a Sunday morning I decided to do just that as I headed just east of where I currently reside in Gulf Breeze, Florida to Destin, Florida and the Harborwalk Village. It’s less than an hour drive, of course it depends on traffic. However this time of year (February) is the off season so traffic was not bad. To get there I drive along Hwy 98 which takes me through another cool place, Fort Walton Beach. Destin is located about a 20 minute drive from Fort Walton Beach….

It was “Kites On The Coast” along Pensacola Beach September 2-3. It amazes me how large some of these kites are. Some of the kites were 25 feet wide by 35 feet long. A long ways from the days of a paper kite.
