This weekend was EPIC, I hosted 2 Everglades Photography Workshops and they were both amazing. Its always so good to meet new people and take them to this very special place, it is what fuels my addiction for photography.
This was my last shot of the night, literally. The sky was amazing, the colors where epic and the reflections on the water were perfect. I hardly had to do anything to this image. As you can see it just pops.
Camera Settings: 15 seconds F16 ISO 100
This is not Africa, but when I am out here it sure feels like it. I always start singing in my head the Lion King song when the sun starts to set, followed by a massive grin on my face.
