I woke up at 3 in the morning to go on a 2.5 hour drive up North. I went to shoot the sunrise at this place called Blowing Rocks in Jupiter Florida. Once I got there I shot the sunrise and it was amazing. However I was shooting video from my Youtube Channel and some guy asked if we had seen the sharks. I said no what sharks??? He pointed and told us where he was swimming with them. I immediately fired up the drone and flew over them, it was amazing. I was so happy not only to watch the sunrise but also to have capture this amazing creatures. They were nurse sharks and appeared to be feeding near the beach.
The video is coming soon and I am posting videos daily. Come subscribe to my Youtube Channel and get behind the scenes videos and tutorials on how I edit all my photos.

On this particular trip around South Florida, traveling up the East Coast of Florida to Cocoa Beach and ending up St. Pete. (the West Coast of Florida) I was having so much fun that I extended my stay for 2 more days.
You can expect sunsets like the ones below, without any tourists and without any noise. The very few people you see, disappear right after sunset.
A few days later I headed South towards Naples Florida and ended up in Shell Key, not too far from St. Pete Beach. It looked promising and I almost took a boat ride there. The boat rides costs $20.00 and they take you there and bring you back.
Before I committed to a boat, I decided to take my drone up in the air and see Shell Key for my self. After viewing it from the air, I decided to pass on the boat ride and keep heading South. I made it to Sarasota….

One of the most iconic hotels in Miami is the Biltmore Hotel. It is located in Coral Gables and it is an incredible place. As soon as you see it, the Biltmore takes you back in time.
I have shot weddings in this hotel and have been to the EVERGLADES SUITE, this is the largest suite coming in at 1830 sq ft. This is one of the most amazing 2 story suites I have ever been in. (I will post photos later)
I wanted to see this place from the sky and show the property and the amazing golf course around it. If you are ever in Miami and want to check out a historic place, come here. It its truly a master piece.

Florida Polytechnic University an epic architectural feat. It is no secret that I have a bit of an obsession with architecture, once I saw a photo of this place I wanted to visit right away. Lucky for me the opportunity presented itself and there I was. Once I arrived, I was intrigued by the design, it looks like a massive spacecraft laying in the middle of nowhere. Lucky for me there was no-one around and I had the entire place to my self, inside and outside.
Florida Poly was established on April 20, 2012, and it is located in Lakeland Florida, between Orlando and Tampa Florida. It focuses on careers in advanced fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava was selected to design the campus’ first building.
Upon its arrival, I was stunned by what I saw. The Florida Polytechnic University looks like a spaceship that just landed from outer space. The closer you get to it, the better it looks. As I approached the front door, my jaw began to drop. It is such a cool building, I stood there in awe for a few minutes before picking up my camera to start taking photos.
If you ever get a chance to visit, stop by you will not be disappointed.
If you are planning a trip to Orlando, or anywhere in Florida, you can get some great hotel deals and great flight deals anywhere in the world. Use promo code WORLD30 to get a discount on flights. Expedia also has great deals at the moment.
THE GEAR
The gear I used for all my photos: Drone DJI Mavic, Nikon D800 with a Nikon 14-24mm and a Nikon 24-85mm. A MeFOTO tripod and a wide angle is a must. I edit all my images with my Lightroom Presets download them and give them a try.

Here is a fun post. Photos from an airplane. Do you remember being a kid and riding in a plane for the first time? I sure do and I loved looking out the window, fact of the matter is I still do. Here is a small sample of photos I took from some of my travels. I have hundreds and hundreds of this photos, I always take my camera and take photos from my window. I know I am not the only one that does this because I always look around and there is always people doing the same thing. I love how the small things in life put a smile on peoples faces.
