Working from home this week, catching up on a long laundry list of programming tasks that I've neglected for one reason or another. I have to be "in the zone" and uninterrupted to really get coding tasks done. The uninterrupted part seems to be rare..

For my lunchtime bike ride, I was struck with just how much depth our clouds had today. It was killing me to be stuck indoors at my home, 20 miles from the Gulf of Mexico. I had set my mind that when my family got home we'd go to either Fairhope or Gulf Shores for some "Golden Hour" sunset photography.

As we were deciding our destination, a sea turtle-activist-conservation-expert, self proclaimed "turtle lady" that works with my wife called to say they'd be releasing a nest to the Gulf this evening at sundown. Our destination set, we made it down a few hours early for a pretty productive photo session.

Didn't get the best of shots of the turtles, night-time, no flashes and all -- so didn't really even try.

This, photo, however - just sort of happened while we were waiting for the "turtle people." Nope, it isn't HDR. Just some contrast enhancements on a single exposure.

This is why we photographers love Golden Hour. ;)
