Thank you all for the warm welcome to the forum. It's so nice to meet ya'll, too :)
When I moved my home from Georgia to Florida two years ago, I was planning on moving into a friend's condo in Santa Rosa Beach. Instead, I chose PCB for it's more central location in the panhandle. I pay double what I would have in Santa Rosa, but it's well worth it. I have clients from all over the United States and Canada who come to our glorious beaches, who stay everywhere from Pensacola to St. George Island.
I look forward to running into each of ya'll on the beaches sometime! I've met several long time local photographers in the last three summers, as there are popular spots on each beach that we all like to use.
In fact, I checked out four other photographers suggested on this thread and three of the four have shots displayed that are very similar to my dunes photos.
SWGB, it's a shame you don't have time to fish...it's great for stress relief! With all your time spent working and 'community involvement' it sounds like you need some stress relief. With an average of fourteen posts per day on this forum it looks like you need to give your eyes a rest and enjoy some of God's artwork. ...Not to mention there are tons of hot men out there fishing ;)
Kurt, please also remind forum members that professional photography that is copied and /or displayed without express written consent from the owner is considered copyright infringement and is punishable by law. All my galleries are right click protected and give a copyright infringement notice when right-clicked on. Modern technology sometimes allows a means to get past those protected pictures, but it is still punishable by law.

Once again I am so glad to have made ya'lls acquaintance, and I'd like to share my Beachscapes galleries with ya'll : Ana Edwards photography : Landscapes, Nightscapes...and Fishing : The Beach

Miss Kitty...try running CCleaner to remove all the junk our computers get filled with. It'll keep your computer from freezing when viewing high-resolution websites :)

Ya'll have a great day! Look forward to seeing you soon! :)

How about,"welcome to SoWal." instead of chastising the lady.:dunno:

Clearly she's your friend and has taken some pictures of you holding your fish. I originally pointed out that walking in the dunes is damaging and illegal. She came back with a nasty retort that she was aware of that. Anyone stupid enough to act high and mighty while publishing photographed proof of the opposite doesn't get much sympathy from me.

TRY to have a nice day swgb....
 
Now, SWGB...just in case you noticed this one and think I'm actually throwing a protected starfish up in the air...

Here's the original. Who would've guessed you could catch this beautiful creature on squid?!:

A photograph can so easily be misinterpreted, whether because it doesn't show enough of the surroundings, or because of lack of knowledge or understanding of perspective ...or Photoshop, in this case.
I'm in Georgia 'til Sunday, then going to North Carolina's coast to photograph five families. When I return to the panhandle on the 29th, we should meet at Mexico Beach so I can show you the exact spot where these were taken...on the path to the beach. Fishing is great from this little spot...maybe I can get you hooked :)

It wasn't hooked at all, Scooter pooter :) ...just hanging on to that squid. Do you need reading glasses? :)
But to answer your question: Hmmm...maybe because throwing would be a deliberate act...? Surely you people aren't so sheltered you think people TRY to catch starfish while fishing.
So...is this like a ritual of ya'lls forum...? Bash any newcomers who find their way here?
Jus' sayin'...ya'll certainly seem to have some people with issues. Surely they aren't all like that in South Walton...that would make it a dreadful place to live or even visit. I'll think positively, as I always do...that there are just a few of ya'll here with some insecurities. Do I need to put my degree in psychology to work and help with some counseling?

No one is bashing you, and after re-reading the posts to make sure, everyone seems pretty cordial and you have now over reacted.

Photography of people in the dunes is a touchy subject and has been discussed many times here over the years. We are against it. If you have pics of people in the dunes on your site representing your work you are going to catch some heat, but it doesn't need to get personal.

Simply put, it doesn't matter if you photoshopped the happy couple into a photo of dunes from Madagascar, it is sending the wrong message. I am not trying to be mean about it, just letting you know the facts.
