    I meant to post these pics a while ago but work and life held things up. Here are some shots from the 2010 Fort Lauderdale Boat Show. It was my first and definitely won't be the last.

    The last of the models and then out on to the docks. in the last model shot the two models are sitting on a table made of video screens and the wakes were moving, the effect was very cool.

    Continuing up the docks, I really like the sterns of these yachts, to me the stern is like the front door of a house.

    wow, thanks for your many shots, I was thinking to myself that I never saw these photos and only recognized they were posted today! It's never too late to post photos especially when they are as nice as yours, thanks!

    Thanks. The night shots were a real challenge since I had been diving in Key Largo earlier that day and I still had the cameras white balance set for my last dive. the magic of Photoshop saved the shots and a lesson was learned, check all the settings every time I turn the camera on!

    Nice shots.
    What type of camera are you using? And do you touch up the photos in photoshop or some other tool?
    Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks Tom, I'm using a Canon 7D with a 18-135 lens. I use Adobe Lightroom to tuch up photos, its much more user friendly than Photoshop, and alot cheaper
