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.

I love riding my bike here, its always full of life and energy. No matter what time of day you come to Ocean Dr. it is always jumping. I have a night workshop here and it is so much fun. People always leave with a massive grin on their face.
I love getting new perspectives of places, its just one way how drone photography is changing and has changed the world. It is incredible to see how far technology has come, and exiting to see where it is going.

If there is a sunset to catch in Florida it must be in Key West. You can see some of the most insane sunsets from here, this is Mallory Square and I must warn you it gets completely packed so get there a bit early. This place is cool because you have a direct view of the sunset. There are lots of boats going by so you can get some good shots. Make sure you have a zoom so you can compress the sun. I shot this with a 70-200 but if you have a 300 or bigger, its even better.
There are lots of artists there and some great live music, after the sunset you can catch a drink at the famous Duval Street.

Rise and shine world. Woke up at 3 am watched some Netflix, got up at 5 and shot the sunrise, went to Brickell Key and got kicked out by security, did not leave, got kicked out again, didn’t listen, the cops came, they tried to kick me out and I didn’t listen after going back and forth, we finally agreed I could shoot from the sidewalk, stuck around a bit longer. Got home at 2 pm with some good stuff. Thats how my day went yesterday. Why do cops and security guards constantly harass photographers? You know they look at all this cool flicks on line when they are surfing the web. Chill out guys were just taking pictures. Quit being so so lame…
I forgot to mention I crashed my drone at some point. The drone is ok, just some grass marks…
I shot these with a 10 stop ND filter. Check out this post where I go into detail on how I shoot all these.

This Halloween looks so much different then any other year for me. My baby boy passed away early this year and its going to be weird without him, that being said, it is going to be an amazing one and one to remember. This is what Halloween looks like on the beaches of Miami.
This was truly an epic sunrise, and even though I lost both of my boys, I know they are still with me everywhere I go. Thats what I think about when I’m out and about shooting this epic scenery.
