Since not everyone is able to make it to the Beach, I thought I would bring it to you. This photo was taken just after sunset last night at Grayton. (a couple more are in my photo album)

You can order signed, numbered prints on matte paper of any image seen here:
http://www.mooncreek.com/stock

E-mail me the image desired or file name/number and specify B&W, or color - 8"X10" or 14" X 20"


Great photos! Does the fact that we can order a "signed" print increase its value significantly? Are Mooncreek Photos the next great SoWal investment? :floor:

I'm working on inflating the bubble. :lol:

Maybe I should include a ziplock full of sand and a bottle of gulf water with each. :idea:

You could employ all the local kids to help fill the bags and bottles! :clap_1:

Great idea, but remember that it is illegal to take sand from the Beach in Walton Co.

I had one that Ivan knocked out. It will be replaced some day. I need some permanant residents on the beach that will help out.

Here are some photos. The last time we were at Seagrove in early May, the walkover was covered in sand up to the third stair. Now we literally have to climb to get to the first stair. My husband is 6'8", and you can see that the first step is 2-3 feet above the sand.

The appearance of the beach makes me sad, but the water is absolutely gorgeous! Nice and clear for spotting sharks.

LOL. Yes, he is as pale as the sand except for his golf tan.

Kurt-

Are you nervous about taking your camera out on the beach? My wife has a Canon Digital Rebel and it always makes me nervous seeing her trotting across the beach with it.

we always use the sorta cheap vacuum-type luggage/storage 'space bags' for the cameras and even the underwater cameras - we tape one around the body of each cameras just leaving the lens sticking out - and we also use one like a old timey light bag when changing lenses

before you leave you put the camera in, vacuum out the air inside - its as fresh as a daisy when you open it and the bag works wonders and protects if you drop it in the ocean (experience) or the boat gets flooded (experience), but they do NOT float - no air for bouyancy? (really bad experience) and once back in the bag you can squeeze some of the air out and it's protected again

also good for wet swinsuits, etc - put all the wet stuff in and sit on the bag - all the water comes squirting out cool - wash it in fresh water first if possible or it will sour and stink

squeeze only ones (not the vacuum hole kind) available at wal-mart in the luggage section - seal most of it then stick the vacuum hose in the remainder - whip it out and seal the rest quickly - not as good as the real 'space bags' with the vacuum hole but sometimes thats all you can get
