Last year, I sold my Canon XTI and purchased the revised Canon Digital Rebel XSI along with a Sigma 10-20mm Wide Angle lens. I hardly ever have the need to do any sort of work to my images in Photoshop, unless I'm cropping, masking certain areas of my photos. Lightroom has become a complete workflow environment for me.]]> Adobe LightroomHaving purchased my very first DSLR, a Canon Digital Rebel XTI 3 years ago, using Adobe Lightroom to alter, touch-up, color-correct  my images has become a ritual for me.

Because of an approaching storm, the beach was closed off with yellow police tape. I couldn't resist climbing over the tape and over a dirt mound that protected the incoming tide from residential properties located just a few feet away. Having just purchased a Sigma 10-20mm Wide Angle lens for my Canon XSI, I went on shooting frenzy along with my broken-down tripod for several hours trying to get as many shots as possible before the twilight hour ended. I've posted additional shots of the beach in my photography section.]]> New Jersey ShoreOver the summer I’ve managed to get some really great shots of the beach on Strathmere island in Southern New Jersey.

I learned later on this year that the beach has been completely demolished by numerous storms that hit the island during Fall – just a few months after I’ve taken these shots. I’m anxious to take new shots of the remnants of the beach this summer and I’ll be sure to follow up to this post.
