Boneyard Beach in Jacksonville, This Is Florida!


In this week's episode we go north on A1A and live in luxury before we adventure into darkness at Boneyard and Black Rock Beach in northeast Florida for some epic landscape photography. The beaches on Little and Big Talbot island offer some of Florida's most unique coastlines and we take full advantage.




Hello everyone! This week I went to Little Talbot Island near Jacksonville to camp and explore Boneyard and Black Rock Beaches. I rented a camp site and felt like royalty with all the extra room! No sleeping in the car this week, it was really nice.


I checked in early around 2pm and headed over to the beach to scout out everything for the next morning.



I stayed at camp site #11 and the campgrounds were excellent. Quite, semi private sites that put me right next to the action for the following sunrise. I was able to buy firewood too.



I left to hike the trails to my location at 4:30am and made it with plenty of time to spare. Enough even that I took some extra long exposures and did some light painting with my head lamp.




Soon the sun started showing it's first glow and it was the only real color we got for the morning. I took advantage with a wide shot and cropped it to a 3x1 for an expansive feel.



Wanting to take advantage of any color we were going to have I switched back over to my Tamrom 70-300 to zoom in on some far driftwood against the sky.




Finally the sun came and was creating some awesome light against the rock and tide pools. I took a vertical shot with my Viltrox 16mm wide angle to capture the below image showing Boneyard Beach.




With the sun fully up I turned around and captured the very unique rocky section of this beach. you would never know this was Florida!



Be sure to check out the full video if you want to see the full adventure and more photos from this morning!
