Vizcaya in Miami

Vizcaya Gardens

This is the gardens in Vizcaya located in Miami. Dade county runs the show and most of the gardens are nice. The main building seems to be in disrepair. They do weddings in Vizcaya and I Would love to have a wedding at Vizcaya. I love performing weddings and taking pictures.

Vizcaya and Miami Skyline

The top and last image is Vizcaya in Miami. This was a Spanish castle brought over brick by brick and reassembled in Miami on the water. Miami-Dade county took it over and it is overgrown and in disrepair. I would not recommend this tour for anyone for the $15 you would spend. The middle image is the miami skyline...

Dolphin Stadium

I was in the very back and top level of the dolphin stadium at the Miami Seaquarium and these dolphins were jumping level with my camera. I must have been 15 feet high. I am impressed with the dolphins and the Nikon D90 camera. I took my daughter to the show and last time I took her was around 1982 or so...

Miami Seaquarium

I went to the Miami Seaquarium on Tuesday - June 22, 2010 and took these images with my Nikon D-90 and the 18-200 mm lens. I shot in sports mode with wide bracket focus and hi-speed shooting at 4.5 images per second. I must admit the d90 of Nikon is really a first class digital camera. This is my back up camera as I did not want to take my d-300 to Miami. I was at the top level in the back row and I zoomed in and did some minor cropping only - no photoshop as these are not retouched. I do not remember if these are the seals or seal lions. Sea lions are very large creatures, unlike seals that are about the size of a medium build dog.
