#1 Google Street View Virtual Tour in Phoenix AZ
Are you tired of my Sunset Photos? You can try my Blue Sky or Beach Photos too! Honestly, it’s not an easy job to take the sunset photos. Especially, you are looking at the sun. The following photo are few of my favorite sunset photos, because of the right time and right place in Cherry Creek Ranch in Young AZ.
Here is closer shot with the rainbow and moon. It’s a beautiful day after rain!

This is another Sunset photo shoot at Cherry Creek Ranch in Young AZ. I haven’t had so much luck in the past to see beautiful sunset like this in Arizona. The sky is on fire! This is also a perfect sunset for me to practice the HDR process.
Personally, I like HDR photo that is more realistic. You can see some awesome realistic HDR photos here. Courtesy to Alex Koloskov.

It’s been a while since I post my last photo! It’s time to get back on track. I spent 3 days weekend with wife and friends at Cherry Creek Ranch! It was a great and relax trip. So here is the perfect sunset photo that I like in HDR. I think this is my newest favorite HDR photo I’ve even done! You can see the rain at far distance, which makes the photo a perfect one!

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. I am taking a break to post something different. My Facebook friends complaint to me about my beach vacation photos on our Caribbean Cruise Trip. He said that I am making people jealous about my trip. 🙂 Well. Don’t be! There are just too many places to visit in my life. I haven’t had enough time to visit all the amazing places on earth.
After all, it’s about seeking our happiness in our life, isn’t it? This bridge was taken at the Tampa Port, where we were leaving the city on our way to Cozumel, Mexico. It was about 6:15PM, when we were supposed to have our first formal dining in the restaurant. So we told the waiter and other people sitting at the same table that we will be back in few minutes. We rushed to get on the deck and we made it. If you miss this part, you miss a big part of the fun trip!
I don’t know the name of the bridge and I don’t really care either. What makes this bridge so unique is this. It’s just few feet above the highest point of the cruise ship. It’s a very beautiful bridge. Everyone got so exciting when the ship passing under the bridge.
Well. I call it the bridge to happiness. My wife and I really had great time! If you plan to go on a cruise trip to Caribbean, you don’t want to miss this one. The other cruise ship from Miami will not give this exciting moment.
This is our third stop on our Caribbean cruise trip after Cozumel Mexico and Belize. This is a very small town built just for the cruise ship and tourism. After all passengers are on board, the town looks like a ghost town. A very colorful ghost town.
We did our zip-line excursion and enjoy a very crowded beach. There was about 2000 tourists in the town from two Carnival cruise ships – Legend and Glory.
I have much more respect to the ancient history and culture after seeing this wonderful temple ruin at Belize. The tour guide told us a much different story than the one I saw on discover channel. It was a good hike to the top of the temple and we feel the power of being on top of the entire village. You really feel like a KING of the world.
Here are the view from the top of the temple.
And view from the left side.
Really and honestly, this is my last Cozumel Travel Photos. I have had lots fun enjoying the beach for two of us and taking photos that is so memorable. We are heading back to the cruise ship and saw these yellow pedicabs. This is the perfect scene to capture people come and go.
Tuning this image into HDR is not a very pleasant thing to do. There are too much details and lines on the ship, so the software won’t line up correctly.
