There are so many great sunsets in Aruba. This is just one of many….they have a great sunset like this essentially every day.
Aruba Sail
MJ and I took a sunset sail during our last visit to Aruba. I took this photo during the sail as another sailboat passed between us and the sunset. It became a nice minimalistic photo.
Aruba Sailing Time Lapse
I know I’ve posted a few time lapse videos lately. Sorry I have another one for you tonight.
MJ and I took a sunset sail on a large Catamaran during our last trip. I stuck my DJI Pocket Osmo on the top of the boat and just let it roll for two hours. This time lapse is the result. Thanks to Captain Richard for allowing me to mount this camera near his control area.
Sailing in Barbados
MJ and I love Barbados. What’s not to love about that wonderful country, location and people? I took this photo on one of our excursions. I love the view of the sailboat in front of the beach. They told us that the white home in the background is Rihanna’s home. I don’t know if I believe them because they probably say that about every large house on the island to the tourist. But…maybe they’re telling the truth????

10 Saints Beer
Tonight I have something different for you. When we were in Barbados, we found this fairly new beer that is made on the island. It was first brewed in 2009 by 10 Saints Brewery Company. The beer is unique because it is aged for 90 days in Mount Gay ‘Special Reserve’ Rum casks. By the way, Mount Gay Rum is made in Barbados as well. This gave the beer a very smooth taste and made it our beer of choice all week. It is named 10 Saints because of the 10 Parishes (like counties in the United States) in Barbados are named after saints.
Anyway, I did an impromptu product photo shoot towards the end of the week. I cleared an area of the beach near our hotel, with the ocean and sailboats in the background. I took two bottles and let them sweat a little in the Caribbean sun. Then I laid on my stomach to get the camera as low as possible for this shot. And I attempted to bounce the sunlight back at the bottles.

NEWS:
Recently I was contacted by a research doctor at the University of Pittsburgh about using one of my photos for an upcoming conference. We negotiated a little and came to an agreement. So now my photo of PNC Park is being used for the annual Pheno 2015 conference poster. The conference gathers international physicists working on the phenomenology of elementary particles, cosmology, and astrophysics. Don’t ask me what any of that means….. The cool thing about this is the poster will be mailed and electronically sent to potential attendees around the world. You can see the poster below.
NYC Skyline
When we were in NYC last year, we made the most of our time to see as much of the city as possible. I took this photo while we were on the Staten Island Ferry. When I saw that old looking sailboat heading away from Manhattan, I knew a perfect photo opportunity was about to happen. The sky was fairly boring that day, but I made the most of it.
