Best Place to Photograph the Everglades You Can Not Miss
Best Place to Photograph the Everglades, do you want to know where it is? The Everglades National Park is an incredible place. It is so vast, flat, and wet it can often be difficult to photograph. My favorite place to go photograph when I visit the Everglades is Pine Glades Lake. The sunsets there are just spectacular and there are lots of angles to get some great compositions.
The best time to come is off rainy season, the water is low and you can get lots of rocks to compose great interesting shots, but any time of the year is good. Make sure you walk around the trails because there are lots to see.
What you need to bring:
Lots of mosquito repellent, the bugs out here aren’t bugs they are dinosaurs and without repellent, they will run you off. Bring an umbrella in case it starts pouring, you never know out there.
THE GEAR
The gear I used for all my photos: Nikon D800 with a Nikon 14-24mm a Nikon 24-85mm a Nikon 70-200 and a Tamron 150-600mm. A MeFOTO tripod is a must. I edit all my images with my Lightroom Presets download them and give them a try.
The road to get there of the main HWY is a dirt road, it’s not too bad but an SUV or pick up truck is recommended, the puddles can be kind of crazy when its rainy season. That being said any car will make it out there as long as you go slow.

Getting there: (see map below)
Once you enter the park you will go past Royal Palm Anhinga Trail, the lake is exactly 7 miles from here on the left-hand side. It’s an unmarked road and very easy to miss. Keep your eyes peeled and look for the back of a stop sign on your left-hand side.
