Magic Hour

Two weekends ago, I had the pleasure of paddling Cedar Key with my friend John Moran, a professional photographer who specializes in capturing the natural beauty of old Florida. John has a unique eye and has developed clever ways of making interesting pictures. About an hour before sunset, the magic hour light became irresistible.  We found a dead horseshoe crab on the beach and wondered what kind of image it would make.  Minutes later, John disappeared for a while with cameras aboard his blue Dagger kayak.  Just before sundown, he reappeared at our landing spot, his CF card harboring some then-unknown photographic alchemy.  "Matt, thanks for a great trip, I'll send you some images", he said later that evening. A few days later, John emailed the images, posted here and in my previous post.  Thanks John!
