Everglades National Park – Landscape Photography

Traveled to Everglades National Park to find locations to photograph. I traveled from Long Pine Key, down to Flamingo. The area is still a beautiful area and offering loads of photographic opportunities.

Long Pine Key – Everglades

Photo by Lee Smith

Hoping and waiting to catch the light and clouds just right. On this day, I left my home and saw clouds in the sky – only to arrive at this location to see the skies had completely cleared. I got my camera & tripod setup then waited for the morning glow at Long Pine Key in the Everglades National Park. I took several long exposures and even a few HDR’s as the light brightened on the horizon. Nature’s beauty appears in the moments between light and dark. (3/8/2014)
