Miami Beach Florida on a rainy night

Miami Beach.
No matter how many times I shoot from this particular spot I always get different results. This is my favorite photo I’ve ever shot from here, it was rainy and moist making all the colors come to life. The clouds were moving allowing me to do a really slow exposure. I had to wait for the traffic to be just right so I could get the light tracers in the photo just right.

Camera settings:
65 seconds F/22 ISO 100 @14mm

Miami Skyline Under The Rain

Miami Skyline Under The Rain

After going out to chase another sunset on a rainy cloudy day, I found my self without a sunset. I was determined to get a photo for the day so I decided to go to this particular spot I always shoot the Miami Skyline from. After waiting a wile the clouds started to get crazy and I did manage to get a cool moody shot of the Miami Skyline before it started pouring rain.

Camera Settings:
30 Seconds F13 ISO 100 70-200mm

Miami Beach Surfers

Miami Beach Surfers

Its sunrises like this one that creates awesome waves here in Miami Beach. I travel often and the conversation of where I live (or based out of) always comes up, when I say Miami Beach its almost always followed by: ohh you can’t surf there right? there is no waves?” I don’t mind the question as I am used to it and Miami is not known for surfing, so its a fair question.

Miami Beach is super mellow when it comes to waves and by no means its the surfing capital of the world, that being said the surf scene here is quite big and we do get nice waves when the climate changes. Usually waves are small but definitively ridable and sometimes we get some really nice barrels, and guess what?? The water is really warm :)

I thought I would put this question to rest by going out there and shooting some surfers riding some waves here in Miami Beach. If you want to catch the nice waves, you have to wake up early and keep track of the weather. Don’t assume that all we do here is party like maniacs, I mean we do that too but we also love the water…

Here are some photos I shot of some dudes killing it out there, it was a great morning to say the least.

If you are new to Miami Beach or just visiting and want to hang out with the surfers go to South Point and find this lifeguard tower, you can’t miss it, its usually surrounded by beautiful ladies with their surfboards and everyone there is super cool. If you spot me taking some flicks come say hi, and hey if there is no waves that day you can always go paddle boarding or get a mojito on Ocean Dr.

Port of Miami Sunset (how to video)

Port of Miami Sunset (how to video)

I shot this a few weeks back from South Pointe Park here in Miami Beach. I often come here to watch the sunset and watch the ships leave the port of Miami. Its an spectacular site to see, not only the massive ships leaving but also the amazing sunsets you get to see from this park. This sail boat was coming into port as this ship was leaving and it looked like they were going to crash.

I made a video to show you how to edit photos like this one and get colors out of your images. Thats why its very important to always shoot RAW. (I made a video on this, its somewhere on my channel)

Camera settings: 1/200 of a second F2.8 ISO 500 I shot this with a 70-200mm lens my Aperture was wide open and my ISO was high because I didn’t have a tripod and had to shoot this handheld, shooting the photograph this way prevented any blur or fuzziness on my photograph.
