Here is a picture of my favorite lifeguard tower in Miami Beach. This photo is kind of hard to get as the flowers are only there about 1 week out of the year. I went by a few times but I never really got a dramatic sky, however I do like this photo.
I spend lots of time at this particular lifeguard tower, its one of my favorite places to catch a sunrise here in Miami Beach.
This is the oldest church in Miami Beach Florida. It is located in Lincoln Road and I walk by it almost daily. It is a very lovely church and I really like the simplicity of it. Founded in 1921 and every religion is welcome it is a non denominational church.
It was rumored for a long time that they were going to tear it down, so I went in to speak to someone about it. The rumors were just that, rumors. The church is there to stay and open to the public. Below is a video of how I retouched this photo of this incredible place.
This is a really cool photo. It was a sunrise, Miami looked erie, and quite gray, but the moon looked amazing. Lucky for me I had my 70-200mm lens. I quickly pulled it out and took a few shots of this awesome scene. I couldn’t believe how big the moon was, so I sat there and admired it for a while before I headed back home with a fat grin on my face. Once I got home, I really couldn’t believe what I had just witnessed, lucky for me I have a photo of it that always take me back to that day.
Camera settings: 1/100 f2.8 ISO 100 shot at 200mm
This is one of my favorite shots from Ocean Drive. I was actually teaching one of my Sunset and Night Photography Workshops when I shot this photo. I saw this puddle of water on the floor and I knew I had to get down really low and get a reflection shot of the iconic Colony Hotel. To shoot this I had to get on the ground and I was shooting super wide. I used my 14-24mm lens.
Camera settings: 10 seconds f16 ISO 100
If you are a new photographer in Miami you probably haven’t heard of this place. It is a very cool spot to take pictures from. Its on the top of a parking garage and it is open to the public. You do not have to do anything illegal to get here, simply park and look over the wall to see the amazing lights.
I come here often to get some pictures and clear my head. Above is the exact location. Maybe I’ll see you there?
It is hot here in Miami, hot and humid. I love it, that ocean breeze is amazing and keeps things cool. This was from a sunrise photography workshop I did the other mooring. I wanted to create a very summer like feel on this particular image. I knew how I wanted it to look when I was shooting it. The sun was bright and a bit harsh. I used this to my advantage and created exactly what was on my head. Below is a video of the edit, and the after picture.
