I thought I would add some from Florida. Before I had ventured to the swamps of Florida with the Alligators and snakes. I had plenty of time to think of what I was hoping to see and Capture. For many years I have been wanting to capture these elegant Cypress trees. But if you have never been there nor no anybody who really knows the area and has special boats to get around, let me just say adding some difficulty to shoot.
You have to find the trees by boat, and of course shooting them from an unstable platform adds many problems. So you ask yourself what to do. Well of course you hop into the swamp with the alligators and snakes. I said before I left that I wouldn't do this but I've done crazier things. To view them from all angles and truly scout the tree to get the right angle at the right time of day. The odds of getting the perfect shot gets harder and harder. If you don't know the area the spanish fog is amazing and elegant. But very difficult to shoot the slightest wind and they move.
So I found some of the most amazing trees but the fog did not happen due to the fact a fire broke out less than 2 miles from where we wanted to shoot. So I will return, in Nov and capture the trees when the trees and fog happen together. Anyway here are some scenes from there, but no really what I would have liked to have shot.. Tim
