A very special sunrise shoot is happening! Bill Baggs Cape Florida State Park - LIGHTHOUSE!

This is going to be a good one folks. Meet at the entrance NO LATER THAN 6am when we’ll be escorted to the lighthouse area so we can get set up and photograph the lighthouse all bathed in beautiful sunrise light.

This event is free to members, but non-members (your friends if they want to ‘tag along’) will have to pay $20 per person to attend. (We had to pay a permit fee to get early access.)

I’d love to share photos of the park at sunrise, but I’m afraid they’re almost non-existent. Most people never see this place this early in the morning. The park normally doesn’t open until 8am. Sunrise on this day is 7:30am. So we’ll have plenty of time to get into the park, collect our gear, get set up, and enjoy the peace and quiet of the park before the throngs of crowds come in.

I recommend everyone check out the map in advance, or better yet, look at it through the Photographers Ephemeris to see where the sun is coming from and the layout of the area so you have an idea of where to go. It will be dark when we arrive.

I’ll have more details on this as we go along. Be sure to RSVP by clicking the button below!
