Long Beach, Mississippi Harbor

Still Day 6 of my trip south from Detroit back in January.



The Long Beach, Mississippi Harbor had only pleasure boats. There wasn't much going on here in January. The walkways were open only to boat owners.

The next 3 photos feature this heron on the "Steward Ship." (Thanks to ByLorili C in the comments below.)

All the photos below were taken using a tripod and the HDR (High Dynamic Range) imaging technique of merging 3 bracketed photos together.

Mooka

The Diva's challenge this week was to use Mooka as a monotangle. This what I came up with.

I'm not sure why (camera settings I guess) but I had to go back and really darken the shading before it showed up in the photo. And it still looks light.

I like this version (white on black) from an earlier photo.

Long Beach, Mississippi - Gulf Coast Homes

It's only mid-morning of Day 6 of my trip south from Detroit. I've already taken photos in Gulfport, Mississippi and along its Gulf Coast. But still a long day ahead.



Long Beach, Mississippi doesn't have a lot of homes along its Gulf Coast so I had to drive up the side streets from US 90.

This pink home (below) has an interesting feature....

It has an elevator. See it on the left in the photo below?

Gulfport, Mississippi - Gulfport Marina

A few photos from the Gulfport, Mississippi marina. These were taken at the end of Day 6 of my trip south from Detroit. More photos will come of Long Beach and Pass Christian homes and marinas but I will show them out of shooting order so I can keep the locations together.



The structures you see are just short towers along the dock leading to the boats. I don't know that they're any more than that. Maybe some storage for marina maintenance. Going onto the walkway between boats is open only to boat owners so I didn't get close to them. See here for how they look from a distance at night in the sunset. They give the marina a distinct look.

All the photos on this page were taken using the HDR (High Dynamic Range) technique. They don't really represent some of the spectacular examples you can find of HDR photos. They're just some of my experiments.

This photo (below) is from way out on the marina looking back. As you can see the water isn't deep here. There's some sand in the lower left of the photo.

Gulfport, Mississippi - Gulf Coast Homes

It's the morning of Day 6 of my trip from Detroit and these are photos of the beautiful homes along the Gulf Coast of Gulfport, Mississippi.



This is US 90 with Gulfport, Mississippi on the north and the Gulf of Mexico on the south.

Most of the homes along this stretch of the Gulf Coast are on stilts.

This white home (below) seemed either newly built or a vacation home or both.

The pictures above and below remind me of homes you might see in Indian Village here in Detroit.

Here's 2 pictures of the same house (above and below). You may be able to make out (in the picture below) the 2 dogs on the porch that yapped at me the whole time I was there. They did their job.
