#1 Google Street View Virtual Tour in Phoenix AZ
The Makena Beach at South West corner of Maui is one of the best place I like to take beach photos and turn them into HDR. It’s hard to resist the blue sky, white cloud and deep ocean and the beautiful beach. You can over look the other island including the Molokini island, which is one of the best place to see sea turtle.
You probably already know how much I like HDR photography. It gives me the great reason to show unbelievable color in a plain photo. I took the following photos near Snowbowl in Flagstaff AZ. It was supposed to snow, but we end up seeing the beautiful golden flagstaff. The sky is also so blue that I can resist to take shot after shot.
These are the last two photos I took at Cherry Creek Ranch in Young AZ. They are also the last two HDR photos I processed along with the perfect sunset HDR Photo. After all, it was a perfect short weekend getaway!

There is nothing more I can say about the Caribbean Cruise Trip. It’s simply awesome. Before I close the chapter, I have two more beach photos to show off. My journey won’t stop here. There are new journey coming soon.
I’ve heard about Cayman Island’s 7 Miles beach for sometime. I finally had chance to visit it myself. Seeing is believing. The beach is very beautiful. I can’s resist to grab my camera and shot. Well. I end up taking so many similar photos and unable to decide which one to pick. So here are the two photos that was processed into HDR Image with Photomatix Pro.
Well. Taking 3 bracketed photos on the beach for HDR isn’t easy. The wave keeps coming. So I end up taking a RAW image and convert that into 3 different exposure shots. I bet the more experience photographer can tell me how to deal with wave in my case. Thanks to Photomatix’s deGhost features. I can clean up the ghost on those tourists.
I do have suggestion to those who visit Cayman Island’s 7 miles beach. It’s actually 6 miles. Some tax driver will take you to a hotel and charge you $25 to enter their own section of the beach. That is totally BS. If you can walk, you can walk from any one of the hotel on the beach which only charge you for the food, drink and chairs.
You can find an awesome spat like we did and enjoy the beach for FREE.

OK. OK. I promise there is no more Cozumel Beach For Two photos (See 1, 2, 3). Cozumel Beach is really a heaven for two of us. This is also the last HDR image I processed for Cozumel Beach. It’s the heaven when there is no one else on the beach. I wished I had full day to spend on the beach, so I can see the sunset. This image is so far the best HDR image I produced and liked. I know I can do much better job in the future. I have to admit that processing HDR image that has only few simple color is hard. You either end up with too much noise or too much shade.

I promised you two days ago that you will see more beach for two photo on Cozumel Beach in Mexico. This photo is also processed into HDR image to show more detail in the cloud. I have to admit that I am still not a master of Photomatix Pro. The image is still too BLUE. I hope there is a ways to partially process just the cloud. Maybe some HDR experts who see this image can give me some hints.
Regardless, I am never tired of posting blue sky and white sand beach photos. There are more to come. 🙂

Again, this is the another HDR image on Cozumel Beach in Mexico, where we were the only two visitors on the white sand beach. Well. There is no need to have life guard stand by. You bet! There will be more beach photos coming your ways in the next few days. 🙂
