Photography and bird watching opportunities change with the seasons. At times it is needed to run deep into the Everglades interior to reach a location to shoot or to see a certain species. Lighting can influence a shoot and many photographers wish to shoot early in the mornings or late in the evenings. Tides should be considered if shooting wading birds is on your wishlist, as they need shallow water to feed. Many photographers enjoy shooting while standing in the water or on a remote sandy beach. All private photography tours are customized based on your wishes, the season, the wildlife and the weather. The use of a powerboat provides the most flexibility for photographers. A flat-decked boat is your shooting platform and has room for one tripod and up to two guests. The powerboat is also the only practical way to shoot some of the spectacular island beaches and landscapes at sunrise and sunset. On most tours, you will be with a wildlife photographer who is also Florida Master Naturalist and licensed Coast Guard captain.
