Moon over Miami

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

Ocean Drive Reflections

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

Blowing Rocks

This is a awesome place located in Jupiter Florida. We headed out at 3 am and missed the sunrise. We didn’t take into account that we had to walk a mile to get to the money spot. Fortunatelly I do not live that far away, I will be heading back soon with a bit more preparation. For now here are two photos I shot this morning. You can see the BTC video and also the editing video.

If you live in Florida, put this on your list. It is awesome!!!!

Gran Turismo Injected

I have been into Volkswagen aka VW every since I can remember. I have owned quite a few of them. My first one was a black Golf, we used to call it the party movil back in the day. My friends and I would crash parties in it. After that I switched to GTI’s. I’ve had just about every color and I have modified them all. This one is my latest one, I have APR stage 2 on it and did all the work my self. (I love working on my cars) I shot this photo at the Wynwood Arts District here in Miami Florida.

The term GTI stand for Grand Turismo Injected.

I hate this about Miami

I love Miami, the ocean, the architecture, the boats, beautiful people everywhere, the kickback beach life style. I can go on and on and on about the things I love about this place, that’s why I moved here.

Hear me out, there is one major thing about Miami that I truly, truly hate. I has bothered me since the day I got here, and it seems to be getting worse before it gets any better. How does this relate to my photography?

1. It is a place I take a lot of photos from, and bring lots of out of town friends to take pictures.

2. It is changing everything around me (us) and its also changing what is in my photos.

Here is the video:

I shot this picture from this exact location.
