Really superb photos. Unfortunately, as already pointed out, the watermark does indeed detract from the images.

A RealMan photographer would never take pictures from a BOAT!
In the water! Wading around in the water! And no sissy waders, either!
Just you and the wildlife, up close and personal. HA!!

I live in South Fl & have visited The Delrey area as well as Flamingo Park in Davie which is loaded with all sort of nature.
American Orchid Society of Delrey has a wonderful park of Orchids & excellent displays.

I was once in Florida, 5 years ago, for almost one month, during the right season, and exactly the last two days, planed to be spent in the Everglades, were a disaster – heavy rain with wind ! So it’s gonna be next time (don’t know exactly when, sorry !!!)

I along with two of my associates will be shooting in south Florida on Nov. 27. May use some of your suggestions. Thanks.

Very nice article! These are places even locals don’t often visit, e.g. the Loop Road. I suggest bringing a wide lens for pano shots of the wide open glades, as well as a macro lens for bugs and plants. You’ll never run out of things to shoot.

Florida Panthers have even been spotted on the Loop Road.

You can also find old abandoned cars and machinery off the road sometimes.

Thanks for the interesting article! I live in Ft Lauderdale, so I’m close enough to get out to the EVerglades whenever I want. For this particular shot, we were traveling north to south through the Glades and were practrically swamped in our car by this monster rain storm! We pulled over to the side where there was a marina, and tourist area. The place was closed due to the storm…but I managed to get a few photos. "

Thanks for saving me the time of searching for good Everglades shooting locations. I live a few hours north, but will be visiting the area soon. So far my favorite wildlife shots have come from Myakka River State Park, a great place for out of water alligator photography:

I don’t look forward to having to battle crowds at the Everglades though, that’s why I left Japan because not only were there lots of people just looking, there were always tons of other photographers already taking up the best spots!
