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?
I shot this in Miami, I was actually on my way home and decided to make one last stop at this amazing new port for massive yachts. I took a couple photos and then I left. A couple days later one of my friends told me that this was Mark Cuban’s Yacht. You know Mark Cuban, the owner of the Dallas Mavericks.
After doing some research it turns out my friend was right. Let me tell you this thing is awesome. This 288-foot yacht has a basketball court on the stern. Lets just say Mark Cuban rolls in style specially in open water.
Las Vegas Nevada, aka sin city, if you have never been there you have to put it in your bucket list. I have been there quite a few times and it’s always a crazy time. This particular trip I wanted to get a really good shot of the strip. So I booked a room at the Cosmopolitan. They have incredible views. You just have to ask them to put you on the highest floor facing the Bellagio. You will have one of the best views in all of Las Vegas and an incredible room.
I stayed here for 2 nights and the first night we had an incredible sunset. No to mention the water show below is spectacular. I want to go back and book different rooms throughout to get different shots of the strip. I also want to rent a helicopter and get some aerial shots. That’s on my future plans for sin city. This time I want to spend more time checking out the incredible entertainment this place has.
Ocean Drive is one of the most iconic places in Miami. I wanted to capture it like I have never seen it before. There are so many photos of this iconic street but I have never seen any close-ups from the air.
This is where my drone came into play, I wanted to get some different perspectives but at the same time capture the famous street in a way it could be recognized for what it is, Ocean Dr.
American Airlines Arena, I shot this from a friends pool. Believe it or not his building has a pool on the roof with an amazing deck and an incredible view.
The first time I was there the pool was closed for renovations, I was so sad to hear the news because I knew the potential this place had for some great photos. Luckily for me a few days later the pool was back in action.

Miami Beach.
No matter how many times I shoot from this particular spot I always get different results. This is my favorite photo I’ve ever shot from here, it was rainy and moist making all the colors come to life. The clouds were moving allowing me to do a really slow exposure. I had to wait for the traffic to be just right so I could get the light tracers in the photo just right.
