I had a workshop out at the Everglades on Saturday and it was so much fun. It was the first time I use an 10 stop ND filter out there. We stayed in this particular spot for about 2 hours and this was my favorite shot of the day. It was shot at 81 seconds F22 and ISO 31 (the lowest the Nikon 810 goes) and I managed to capture the clouds just right. I love the way they create a notion of movement, making the photo three dimensional.
I also used the walkway as my leading lines to invite the viewer into the photo creating a this dreamy effect in the horizon.

On the outskirts of the Everglades, the sun was starting to set, laying down beautiful light passing through the trees making them so vibrant they seemed almost fake. As I was driving thought I stopped at the perfect spot to catch this beautiful rays of light.
The Everglades is such a magical place, every time I’m out there I just can’t get enough. The animals, the landscapes, the silence, its all beautiful and for sure one of my favorite places to spend a day….

I caught this one right on time when it was about to take flight.
One of my favorite photos from the everglades. I shot this on my last tour of the year. I must say I am very exited to get back up there and start exploring the Everglades again. My firs workshop is on September and you can see the schedule here.
This is The great egret, also known as the common egret, large egret or great white heron, is a large, widely distributed egret, with four subspecies found in Asia, Africa, America, and Europe. One of the may amazing birds you see out in the Everglades.

When I started this incredible journey I never thought it would become what it is today.
I first started coming to the Everglades 6 years ago when I first moved to South Florida, and I quickly fell in love with it.
I started photographing it, and quickly realized that this place was very challenging to photograph, but nonetheless it was incredible being out there. I wanted to share this experience with everyone I knew, so I started bringing my friends and family. They all would always smile at the incredible wildlife and sunsets.
I wanted to create an experience where I show people the Everglades from a locals eyes, and cover most of the Southern Part, (the coolest places) and at the same time teach them how to capture it through a lens. I also want to make sure to have people at the perfect spots at the right time. I have been trying to dial this in and I think my self and my team have it down pretty good.
I also wanted to create a sense of community and make everyone feel like family, were we are all friends, and it is amazing how within 20 minutes everyone feels like they are hanging out with their best friends.
The greatest thing about the workshops I do is that people come in as strangers and leave as friends. These awesome adventures bring people close together and the goodbye hug is always bittersweet… This images are form the last Everglades workshop of the season. Do not worry, I am currently working on the new schedule click on this link to register.

I was driving through the Everglades National Park, when out of the corner of my eye, I spotted a lonely tree with a crow resting on it. I quickly pulled over and jumped out of my truck. I started walking slowly towards it and snapped this shot. I wanted to get the eerie mood the swamp can sometimes put you in… Come join me on my next Everglades adventure.
