The privilege of living on, and sharing the incredible Florida coastline causes me very frequent overwhelming episodes of gratitude!

1. Leica SL2 - Laowa 9mm.
2. Same
3. Leica SL2 - Canon 70-200@270mm 1/8th sec.
4. Getting weird with the 9mm again. I LOVE that lens!
I've helped many get shots here, finally I got my own!
Recent sunrise with the 9mm.
Panning breakers in direct morning light, lights them up!
This is from my feet (only inches from the water) to almost straight up with the 9mm. The immense 135° angle is amazing, and I love trying new perspectives.
Those are amazing. If they don't win ToW I don't know what will. The second one in particular is dope. I recently sold my Laowa 11mm becuSe I could not make good use of it. Obviously die to lack of skills.
SO sorry if I have not been interacting much the last couple weeks. I had to move (just down the street to a condo) which kicked my tail!!! I have a workshop next week, and when I get back I will be much more consistent, especially checking out everyone's amazing work!

Beautifully done, Mark! You are making the most of your Atlantic location.
Thank you very much Ross! Yes, I have been here for over 4 years now and have literally filled up many 4 - 8TB drives. I go out nearly every day (especially once Spring kicks in through fall) because of all the crazy thunderstorm light we get! It is my daily ritual to walk that 500 yards, to see the ocean every day to start my day. I thank God every day, and I am always blown away by the infinite variety. This morning it was at 3:45 AM! Low, low tide under moonlight, and thundering surf! Gratitude!
I'm subject to vertigo and #2 affects me...which, I truly believe, is due to this just being one incredible photo! I'd buy it for my home but I wouldn't drink cocktails around it. Love it!

A huge thank you. Yeah I guess there’s a lot of movement in that one! That 9 mm is so awesome to work with. And I found a company that has ND filters behind the lens for when the sun’s coming up.
Wow… these are incredible. It’s amazing how water can look beautiful in so many different ways. The photos feel so immersive, like I’m standing in the middle of the waves watching the changing light in real life. And with the long exposure, the water looks so soft and flowing, almost like brush strokes in a painting. I could stare at these for a very long time. Truly a masterpiece.
