The last month has been very hectic for me leaving very little time for photography. I got a free evening after work last week to run out the Everglades to see if Tropical Storm Issac’s rains had reached the Southern Glades. Although the water levels were elevated from normal they were not as high as I have seen after other tropical storms or torrential rains. After driving around the park for an hour or so I decided to return to a favorite spot of mine in Long Pine Key to shoot a sapling pine tree I had shot a few months back.
The high water levels made for good reflections and I used the lone pine tree as my foreground anchor. I was not thrilled with the results but did like the mood of the dark storm clouds that were rolling through during the sunset.
