Davie Sunset – Florida

Photo by Lee Smith

My friend Simon Rimmington called and said we might get a terrific sunset – the clouds looked great so I grabbed my gear and headed out. These dark clouds blew in from the west blocking the glowing sunset, so I still took a few shots. Got a great reflection!

Hollywood Sunset – Great Skies

It was a late Saturday afternoon on a warm October day. I was chasing the light trying to find a good location to find a sunset. I found beautiful skies and a wonderful sunset over Hollywood.

Kibry Storter Roadside Park, Big Cypress

I traveled with my friend Ivan to visit Kirby Storter Park in the Big Cypress Preserve of Highway 41. It was a long ride to the interior region of the Everglades.  After waiting till the sun went down, the stars started to shine through the blue skies. The darker the skies got, the more stars appeared. It was amazing. This is my first attempt at a Milky Way capture and it was a challenge. The key is to focus your camera before it gets dark, otherwise you have to do it by feel.

Be sure you got some really great mosquito repellant – I highly recommend a product called Repel – Lemon Eucalyptus – Repel 94109 Lemon Eucalyptus Natural Insect Repellent, 4-Ounce Pump Spray – Order it from Amazon

Late afternoon under the pier for an infinity view under the pier. The water appears smooth from a long exposure, but best of all – I like the color
