Jim and Fred recently traveled to southeast Florida and one of their favorite photo spots is Wakodahatchee.  Wakodahatchee is a reclaimed water area that has been turned into a nature park.  There is a 3/4 mile boardwalk surrounded by an amazing rookery with hundreds of nesting wood storks, great blue herons, great egrets, tri-colored herons and more!  Yes, there are also alligators.  Highly recommended and completely free!  Wakodahatchee is located in Delray Beach.

Jim and Fred recently returned from south east Florida and their first stop was Jupiter Florida.  If you plan to come to Florida and find yourself on the southeast coast, their are some great wildlife photo spots in and around Jupiter.  Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate with The Fotobug guys, but they pushed on and still managed to get some shutter time!  The photo spots Jim and Fred visited are Cypress Creek Natural Area, Loxahatchee Battlefield and the Jupiter Lighthouse.

Steve Rolfe is a UK based photographer who recently published a book, Small World which is now available on Amazon and in bookstores.  Steve uses tiny HO miniature figures to created fanciful and amusing miniature scenes to photograph.  To learn more about Steve and his photography, please visit Steve's website at https://www.steverolfephotography.co.uk .

Sometimes the best image is actually contained with the full image you captured.  In this case in order to get a decent size print, or sometimes, just a good size to post and share, you need to enlarge the crop.  Jim and Fred compare three popular programs for their AI enlarging capability including On1, Topaz and Luminar Neo.
