Douglas Shoop Photography

Thanks Mother Nature.  While cruising the intercoastal at Lighthouse Point, FL. with some friends, the sky put on a spectacular show.  What a backdrop for the spectacular homes that line the waterfront.  Enjoy.

It's about making the photo.  I saw this cool piece of driftwood floating in the ocean, walked around before most of the beach was packed with sun bathers, and walked all the way to the end of the beach to avoid some people, laid down on my stomach and took the shot.  Taken on Labadee, Haiti.  Enjoy.

As I burrowed myself in the hot sand - (pity me) I took this photo of these beautiful flowers seemingly growing out of the very dry sand. Amazing how they adapt to the dry climate. Taken on the beautiful island of Roatan, off the coast of Honduras. One of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. Enjoy.

I literally crawled in the sand for this photo.  I think the topless sunbather next to me was wondering if I was trying to get a shot of her "no tan lines" body.  It was all about framing the photograph.  In order to appreciate the beauty of the sand flowers ??, I wanted to get the sand crab perspective.  Taken on Roatan Island, Honduras.  Enjoy.

Look very close and you'll see the quarter moon up there glowing in the beautiful night in the tropics.  This photo was taken in Aruba at the Hyatt during one of their daily spectacular evenings.  Enjoy.
