I woke up at 3 in the morning to go on a 2.5 hour drive up North. I went to shoot the sunrise at this place called Blowing Rocks in Jupiter Florida. Once I got there I shot the sunrise and it was amazing. However I was shooting video from my Youtube Channel and some guy asked if we had seen the sharks. I said no what sharks??? He pointed and told us where he was swimming with them. I immediately fired up the drone and flew over them, it was amazing. I was so happy not only to watch the sunrise but also to have capture this amazing creatures. They were nurse sharks and appeared to be feeding near the beach.
The video is coming soon and I am posting videos daily. Come subscribe to my Youtube Channel and get behind the scenes videos and tutorials on how I edit all my photos.
Living on the water is awesome for me. There is always something going on, from people surfing to fishing and everything in-between.
This is the South Pointe Fishing Pier in Miami Beach Florida. I was actually standing on the pier and when I looked down I was pleasantly surprised at what I saw. This guy kept throwing his fishing net and for a photographer thats eye candy.
I kept shooting with my focus point on him and as soon as he threw the net I would take 2-3 shots.
Here are my settings: Shutter speed 160 f5.6 ISO 100
Nikon 24-85 mm lens D800
Every time I get the chance to go to the West Coast of Florida to shoot the sunset I take it. This is one of my favorite spots on the coast, it is Naples pier. It is an really cool place to photograph of just watch the sunset.
I can’t think of a time when I shot a bad photo here. This was on a very overcast day, it looked like it was going to start pouring, so everyone left the beach. I had the entire place to my self, it was perfect.
I shot this with a 14-24mm Lens here are my settings:
244 seconds at f/22 ISO 50 on my Nikon D800 (no filters)
Cadillac Ranch is one of those places you see out of the corner of your eye while you are driving and you can’t help but to slam on your brakes. This place super weird in a really cool way. There are loads of paint cans laying all over the place. You can just grave one and paint on the cars.
Cadillac Ranch is not a ranch but a public art installation and sculpture in Amarillo, Texas. It was created in 1974 by Chip Lord, Hudson Marquez and Doug Michels, who were a part of the art group Ant Farm.
If you ever get see this out of the corner of your eyes, stop and check it out. Have you ever been there?
Here is what is happening in Florida. This is the toxic algae bloom going on in Florida waters caused by fertilizer, sewage, and manure pollution that the state has failed to properly regulate.
Floridas governor has declared a state of emergency in Florida counties. I shot this photos yesterday in the St. Lucie River. The problem is expected to get worse, and now can be seen from space via satelite. We must change, we are destroying our planet at an alarming rate… Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
One thing that I have learned about my workshops is how much I love to share what I have learned over the years with other people. I’m a big fan of workshops and have taken them with all kinds of phtographers. I believe this is the best way to learn, not only do you meet amzing people with your same interests but, you also get to pick their brain and learn a lot from them in a short amout of time.
Its not until I stared teaching that I realized teaching is just as much about learning than it is about teaching. When I am involved with this small gorups of photogrpahers we are able to share ideas and knoledge and it goes both ways. I am very greatful to be lucky enough to get this oportunity. What is also amazing is that I often get to see the same faces in the different workshops that I do.
Its alwyas great when people leave with a grin on their face. This moments are so special to me as a landscape photogrpaer and sharing it with others is something even more incredible. Thank you to everyone that comes out to my workshops and supports me throughout. Here is a photo from this weekends Sunrise Workshop. It has become very popular and very meaningful to me. Even if I’m not teaching you can find me here year round catching an amzing sunrise by my self.
