Evenings in Daytona Beach Shores

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Daytona Condo Realty, 386-405-4408

Evenings in Daytona Beach Shores sometimes display such an array of colors, that you can only stop in awe and watch. Setting sun splits the sky and paints it gradually from ink to turquoise, clouds catch the light of the sinking sun and you have them from gray-blue to pink...

Daytona Beach Shores

And it keeps changing every minute... You are just staying and watching it...

My new camera gets rightfully frustrated with me, that I still can't figure many things out. I am getting excited and just take pictures and not really checking how they come. So then at home I am deleting, deleting, deleting. This is the punishment for buying stuff which is smarter than us. But at this stage it looks like everything is smarter than I...

Daytona Beach Shores

Daytona Beach Shores is in its 51st year. I love it because I like the feel of the city, plus it is only 8 minutes drive to my office. And 8 minutes does not mean that it is only when there is no traffic and no accidents on the road. 8 minutes mean 8 minutes, and if we would have traffic, it can only be during the races or Bikeweek, and it will be 9-10 minutes. I know, New Yorkers laugh at me when I complain...

Daytona Beach ShoresDaytona Beach area is still slow, but it is noticeably busier than last year, more windows are lighted in the evening, more people walking, and more cars on the road.

And way more sales activity. There were 77 condos sold from January 1, 2010 to April 30, 2010, and for the same 4 months this year – 91. Even though the inventory is less, there are still 325 condos for sale on MLS today, and this number is very close to the point when it is no longer the buyers' market.

If you are interested in condos in Daytona Beach Shores, or anywhere on Daytona's Beachside, give me a call at 386-405-4408. Or just shoot me an e-mail.

Jon, your camera takes wonderful photos, wow! I would not complain if you get 3 shots out of 300 to use, that is the most fantastic part about digital cameras. I find often out of huge sets of pictures, there is nothing that moves me.

These shots are truly amazing! What is the camera you bought?

Andrea - it is often the case with me. It is not the camera, it is me. Jon (my son-in-law) can do miracles with the same camera. I sometmes can't overcome simple obstacles

this is Canon 5D Mark II. We got the body, and got wide angle lense, and for now I am borrowing Jon's 24-105 mm and 70-200 mm lenses. This is a full frame camera with amazing 21 megapixel sensor and incredible ability to take pictures in low light.

If you want to see what real pros can do with this camera, check our AR own Alison Nicklin Shuman (Masis), but hey, with the name as complicated, no wonder she is dealing with complicated camera with ease (LOL)

Inga - and you shouldn't. I know it, I am just too lazy to get to the book and read. I first try and when it does not work, I read (LOL)

Jon, beautiful photos. Magnificent colors, it looks magical. You have a good eye. IMHO, that is more important than the camera's bells and whistles.

Jon, wow. I think I have camera envy! My old Nikon D40 is only 6 megapixels. The color in that middle shot looks like a hand tinted post card from the 1940s. It's great! But so are the other shots, it's just that one caught my eye.

Sharon - Camera is superb. Not just the megapixels, but tis is a full frame camera, and with proper lenses results are good.

It is darn expensive, but in the competition these things count. It is really not a luxury. It also does fantastic videos, but I have not gotten to it yet

Jim- I am very confused. Yesterday one of AR Servers was down. The service was restored later in the day, but the images are still not showing.

All I see are empty spaces where the images were. You sound as if you can see them.

Can you really see the images?
