I was at one of my favorite spots to shoot in Miami Beach when the sun started going down. It was so big I wanted to try and capture its scale. I quickly switched my lens to my Nikon 70-200mm zoomed all the way in and got this shot.
When you zoom all the way in using a zoom lens, is what we call compressing a shot. That means you bring the background into the front of the image giving it a very unique look. You also make background elements appear bigger then they actually are by using this technique.
I shot it with my Nikon D800. Shortly after the sun set I started shooting some cool night shots with my favorite wide angle.
I often post this kind of photos, for some reason I find them extremely pleasing to the eye. I have been shooting this kind of photos since my kite days. I do it now for helicopters and drones. One thing about this kind of photography, it never gets old.
Here are some beautiful hues over the Miami skyline. Most of the time you can catch some amazing colors during sunset in Miami. I shot this with my Dji Mavic a couple days ago.
I recently got together with my friend Natalia. We rocked out an amazing shoot. With her talent and a bit of camera work we made something special. This is one of the photos. I will have more up shortly along with a video we made.
