Golden Spray

 This photo was captured on an iPhone and enlarged using On1 2022.5. I decreased about 50

% of the noise but left the color and other aspects of the photo alone.

Joshua Tree Sun Burst

 With the sun starting to drop in the west I was able to shoot directly into it and with a tiny aperture to create this sun burst through the branch of a Joshua tree.

Under Billowing Sails

 With a stiff afternoon wind, the sails were fully deployed, and we were underway.

Across the Dock

 With the shore lights illuminating the masts of the sailboats causing a wonderful contrast against the water this becomes a beautiful scene.

Early Morning Color

 Sunrise over Santa Barbara, CA at 4:30 in the morning. We were so excited to be going sailing that sleep eluded us, so we went on a photo shoot.

Morning without Color

 This B&W of the early morning at Santa Barbara, CA shows just how deceptively quiet the ocean can be. Later that day it proved to be a nightmare as the seas were 8 to 10' and the winds kicking up at about 30 mph.
