Here is a pic of the Old Bridge in Key West Florida. I planned this shot around the sun. I wanted to get the sun setting right in the middle of the bridge. The time to shoot it is December, its the only time you can get this exact shot.
I used a 70-200mm lens zoomed in at 200mm
Camera settings: 1/125 F13 ISO 100 Remember that if you want to make the sun bigger you need to shoot it at 300mm + (I recommend a 600mm) if you have it.
Location: Bahia Honda State Park

When do the surfers come out? This is a question I often get asked. The answer is when there are waves! Ok ok, so it is very easy to know when the waves are coming to Miami, all you have to do is watch the weather.
When we have a cold front in Miami Beach the waves grow, and they get fairly big. This usually happens in December, January and Feb, but you must remember it is only when there are cold fronts, meaning a 10 degree drop.
Now please be warned, its usually really cold and windy when this happens, but it is well worth the shots. Loads of awesome people come out to the beach just to hang, you also see lots and lots of photographers all along the water as far as the eye can see.
I’m always out there when this goes down, so look for me or shoot me a message, lets link up!
This is where most of the surfers hangout.

Gran Teatro de la Havana is quite incredible (Grand Theater La Havana). This place is jaw dropping. I have been to lots and lots of theaters around the world, but let me tell you, this one is jaw dropping. It is so beautiful and exquisite and the attention to detail in is second to none. A must visit when in Havana Cuba.

One of the coolest places to take epic shots of the sunset is here Maurice Gibb Memorial Park. Its kind of a hidden gem, every time I bring a local here they are shocked as to why they have not been here. I spend loads of time here, from shooting sunsets, to walking my doggie, to paddle boarding, and just plain old chilling. Great place to come to if you are in Miami.

Here is a photo of the Carnival Sensation going out to sea during sunset. I love watching the ships leave the port, they all leave one after the other and its awasome to wacth. They usually start leaving around 5pm and there are about 5-6 that leave. I usually watch them from South Point Park. It is awesome. If you are ever in Miami Beach, I highly recommend you go watch them.

As I was taking a long exposure watching the beautiful sunset out of the corner of my eye I saw this little girl running towards me. For a second I thought she was going to knock over my camera, fortunately nothing happened, she simply wanted to play in the sand. I took one more click to get her in the picture, lucky for me I did just that.
I love the contrast of her pink dress. Sometimes things like this happen and you must capitalize on it.
