Ocean Views

Another one of the beautiful ocean views from the resort in the Dominican Republic.

Just Married

Now let's go ALL the way back to January (yup ... I am that far behind) for a cute little picture I took the day after our wedding.

Beach into the Sunrise

Another beach sunrise.

Cleaning up

This one follows the last post in that it shows the clean up that is done in the mornings for a beautiful beach in the Dominican Republic. As it is, you can also see that there are already tourists down on the beach for a morning walk.

Cleaning up the Beach

Back to Punta Cana

Although I took a break to showcase a few of the images from the 7D, I finally am getting back into the Punta Cana images. Here is another one (and the next few days will be too) from the sunrise images on the beach.

Work in the Dominican

The third image here is the unsung hero of this series. One of the things that makes my really happy to have risen at 0600 to take pictures was to see the state of action in the early morning around the resorts. The work in the mornings that goes unseen is amazing to give the impression of perfection in these resorts. A tourist wakes up in the morning and makes his way down to the beach and sees the image of perfection; this tourist doesn't even think of the work that makes the beach look this way. At ~0700 in the morning we saw approximately 30 workers spread out over many many resort beaches just raking the seaweed from the beach, placing it in garbage bags, and removing it even before the tourists arrive. Similarly (and maybe more often seen) many workers climb the coconut trees and remove the coconuts that have even the most remote chance of falling on a beach faring tourist.

Ocean Sunrise

The first image is another one of my favourite images from the morning. It is one of those images that you have to look a couple of times to appreciate it. When you see the wave coming in and going out at the same time it gives an interesting look ... at least I think so!

Serenity

So ... is it bad that one of my favourite photos from the 'sunset pictures' on the beach, is the one that I turned around and took the picture AWAY from the sunset the other direction on the beach. I didn't think so either!

Dominican Republic 2012

Now starts the next series here on Scerakor Photography. The next few weeks of posts are likely to all be associated with my wedding down south in Punta Cana. The first series at least will be of one morning that a friend and I made a point to get up to take pictures of the sunrise. We got up nice and early and walked for about half an hour down the beach to find a nice place to catch the rays and colours on their way up. The next several posts are the results so far.
