Florida Keys, Florida
The Florida Keys have always had that classic, sunny skies, and tranquil blue water look, but this time I wanted something different – something that was more than just picture-perfect beauty.
A moment showcasing the moody stillness before an imminent storm was the image I hadenvisioned. After weeks of planning, I finally managed to capture this idea – a striking contrast between the power and elegance of mother nature.
The pier was so captivating with its worn wooden structure, and the water at peace as it lapped against the shoreline. Anticipation was building. The key, shooting multiple frames from different angles, making sure to capturing every intricate detail – from the weathered boards of the pier to the delicate birds at rest. To provide that tranquil mood, it was critical to use a longerexposure – the still waters perfectly reflecting the glow from the light within the clouds. A dreamlike image, like something out of a movie. Everything seemed so peaceful just before thestorm had set in to make its presence known. It was a true serenity amidst chaos.
With each passing minute, more clouds moved in until they completely blocked out any remaining sunlight – leaving behind only darkness and shadows across every inch of the ocean in the foreground. The combination of each exposure brought my vision to life, resulting in a photo that I hope gives a glimpse into my creative mind.
