Watch The Full Video Here: FINALLY Got EPIC LIGHT! Florida Landscape Photography!
The best light I ever caught at Black Rock Beach in Jacksonville, Florida! Famous for it's massive tree skeletons and rare "black rock" type soil deposits called spodosol.
This week I met a fellow landscape photographer for an epic sunrise session on Florida's north east coast. After a 5 AM hike down Black Rock Trail we found our way to the still fully dark coastline just in time for Blue Hour.
I put on the 16mm wide angle lens to capture some vast epic scenes of the coastline. But what was all supposed to be fun times turned into us being the buffet for the millions of noseeums that swarmed in!
At first it appeared that directly overhead was all blue sky, with clouds in every other direction! But soon as blue hour moved in we slowly had some great sky action starting as the clouds began to roll over our location. Things might kick off soon! While waiting for the sun I was able to capture some very early blue hour shots over the rock.

As the sun came up I started to capture a wide variety of beautiful landscape scenes (full gallery below). The clouds, light, reflections...everything came together. Black Rock beach offers so many unique options with the endless tree skeletons, tide pools and "rock:" that is actually spodosol.
I always gravitate towards the rock and tide pools because they are so unique, but I soon moved to the tree skeletons for some really epic foreground subjects. You can create endless compositions with leading lines, shapes and textures as the sunlight dances off the trees.

I you would like to go to Black Rock Beach and would like a guide check out the link below!
