Warm Days At Daytona Beach

It is hard to believe but it has been ten days since my trip to Daytona to watch the Daytona 500. It was a fun weekend watching racing, but I also enjoyed the time away from the track. This was the first time that I had my feet in the Atlantic Ocean. Of course since I met my wife I have been in the Atlantic every year, but this was a big trip for me at the time. I love this pier and the way that it just said beach to me. I don’t think that I have ever posted this anywhere before for some reason. Looking back over my old photos I realized that it had some potential and that I should let some people see it.

An OCD Nightmare

I think one reason why this was never posted before is the fact that I couldn’t find the orientation for the photo. At the time I don’t know what I used for my straight line, but it was not right. I tried a few times over the years to use the straighten tools in Lightroom to fix this photo. Of course it always looked worse when I was done. What I found was that I just needed to see where my eye went first and make sure that was straight. Everything else can just be what it is.
