Here is the most iconic place in all of Miami, the infamous Ocean Dr. This places is awesome and always jumping, full of life. I shot this yesterday at my Capture the Sunset Photography Workshp. The weather was so crazy everyone thought I was going to cancel, but remember that bad weather makes good pictures.

A couple days ago I posted about an insane sunset that just kept going and going and going. Well this is how it ended up into the night. This was my last shot of the night and an insane one to say the least. I was super happy with the result and even though I have shot from here many many times, this is by far my favorite photo from this particular spot. It only took 6 years to get a great shot from here….

I go out every day with a great attitude, but sometimes mother earth does not want to cooperate, and that is ok. Thats one of the things I love about landscape photography, you can’t control the light or the elements and you really never know what you are going to get.
This particular mooring was extremely dull, there were no clouds and nothing really to get your attention. This is the part where you really have to think and really have to get creative. I sat there and thought about how I could create a good composition, so I observed the elements and what was in front of me, shortly I realized that I could get the earths energy with the sun and showdown, a touch of life with the birds, and a peaceful feeling by not having any clouds. Once I figured this out I walked away with a great photo.
Photography really is this deep and complex, its not just showing up and snapping a shot, even though sometimes we wish it was.

Here is an insane sunset. I shot this form Miami Beach, from 5th street to be exact. I was hoping for a good sunset but instead I got a crazy one. The colors were insane, the sky was on fire and it just kept getting better and better. We had about 45 minutes of greatness, it was perfect.
Sometimes I’m lucky to get 2 minutes of color, and sometimes you get non stop action into the night.
Here is a shot I took of the amazing Miami skyline form a new angle. This skyline has to be one of the most beautiful in the country, it has all the elements, tall buildings, beautiful sky, water, and some insane boats.
I love shooting around here, you would think that after 7 years I would be over it, but I’m really not, its forever challenging and beautiful.
How I keep things interesting is by going around new places trying to find new perspectives.

Here is a long exposure I did almost a year ago, omg where does time go?? I remember this particular morning, one of my friends picked me up and we headed out bright and early. We stopped at this awesome pier to do some long exposures with some filters. It turned out great even though it was very gloomy out this morning.
We stuck around until it was really bright and kept on shooting until we got really really hungry.
