THE GEAR
The gear I used for all my photos: Nikon D850 with a Nikon 14-24mm a Nikon 24-85mm a Nikon 70-200. A MeFOTO tripod is a must. I edit all my images with my Lightroom Presets download them and give them a try.

Great post, just that I was a bit late to catch on this, since I got back to the Bay area by the time this was posted.
Nevertheless was lucky to get to #3, #6. Missed #1, #4, may be the next time I visit.
Also felt Ricken Backer causeway provided a good vantage location for the skyline
Thank you, book mark it and next time you can visit the rest. Yes Ricken Backer is a good spot too.
Idk where that Best Buy spot is at. I went there but I got a closer shot from the parking structure. This shot seems as if it’s much more behind the parking structure. Where exactly I’m the parking structure? I went all the way to the top and went to the furthest corner and still ended up much closer. Unless I was in the wrong structure lol I also went to LAZ parking and couldn’t find any spot to take that shot so I’m lost at this point lol
Where the AC units are. Walk around you will find it. Im not sure what the LAZ parking is…
Tried the top floor of the Best Buy parking this week. Before I was able to get a shot, a security guard asked me to leave…advising that the top floor is private property.
Security is getting tight up there. Best thing to do is to drive up and park there.
I drove up, parked in the far west corner…started to set up my shot over the wall when security came to stop me. I’ll try again sometime
Sounds good.
Great photos Edin. I will be in Coral Springs in early June and will definitely go photograph some of the views you share. Thank you for sharing and all the best to you!
That’s awesome, George. Let me know how it goes :)
Thank you Edinchavez Photography! Even as a Miami resident, I discovered places I had never considered those photography shots. I really appreciate your efforts!
No problem, I am glad you found it useful. Thank you for dropping by.
Edin, as a newbie photographer I wanted to thank you for helping me make my daughter’s birthday photshoot a success. I used one of the locations and had lots of fun. Forever an admirer of your work. Thanks for sharing!
That’s awesome, thank you for dropping me a note, I’m always happy to help :)
I like #7 my fiance and I are going to do our engagement session there, I’m just trying to picture us in that shot, do you think a season photographer will make it work? Do u have to be directly under the bridge, went by there this morning and it looks like there’s a construction crew doing work.
Hi Michael, unfortunately, they just closed it and are doing some type of construction. I am not sure when I will be open again. However, you can still go on top of the bridge and get a shot of the skyline. If you want a different vantage point of the skyline, try the Venitian Causeway #4. Hope that helps.
Yeah I was getting ready to ask you about that one. What’s the vantage point in order to get that shot?
I pinned it on the map.
Thanks for the spots. Well done and great photos
No prob, thank you for dropping by.
