This past weekend I spent hiking at Orlando Wetlands Park in Christmas, FL and filmed the Orlando Wetlands Park Cinematic 4K Nature Video during my visit. This is a wetlands area that is 1600 acres in size with about 1,800 alligator living in or near the area. I was impressed with the scenic landscape,…
LaCosta Urban Wetlands is a local park down the road from where I live in Orlando, FL. I spent a couple hours here filming and came away with this 4K nature video. I thought the best part was seeing the alligators thriving in an urban environment. You’ll see that in this video. The park…

I spent last week at Canaveral National Seashore and produced a video of my visit. I spent a lot of time filming manatees though at the manatee viewing center. It’s a dock about half way down across from the beach which overlooks Mosquito Lagoon. From there, at the right time, you’ll find a large number…
My Canaveral National Seashore Cinematic 4K Nature Video was shot during my visit last week to the park. The beach was beautiful and there weren’t a lot of people. You can see the Kennedy Space Center (NASA) from parking lot 1 and if you drive down a short ways to Mosquito Lagoon, you’ll have…
This past Saturday I visited the Sea Life Orlando Aquarium located in Orlando, FL along International Drive. I brought my camera (Sony FDR-AX100) to see if I could capture 4K video of sharks, sea turtles, eels, seahorses and more. I was able to get some of it based on how well lit the tanks…
My latest video was shot when I visited Shell Key Island but before I go onto the boat to take me over, I arrived at the docks and found tons of pelicans. They were all waiting on fishermen to throw them parts of their catch.
A 4K nature video I shot of Shell Key Island off the coast of St Pete beach in Florida. You have to take a boat to reach the island and there is a large preserve set up for birds that nest off the coast.
I bring my drone now wherever I hike in case I see an area where I can get some test footage to bring home. I shot this 4K cinematic footage using a DJI Mavic Air at Blanchard Park in Orlando, FL. It’s my local spot so expect to see more as I test out…
I took out my DJI Mavic Air drone along the Econlockahatchee River as the place has amazing views and fly it up and down the river for a bit last week. Here is 4K video produced in cinematic settings. I just got new LUTs from Polar Pro called Elektra. They are cinematic color presets….

I set out to hike the Geneva Wilderness Area in Geneva, FL on Saturday. The parking lot was full so I thought the trails would be packed. As I walked past the nature center, there seemed to be a ton of kids going in and out of it. I continued down the trail entrance…
I went out to hike Black Hammock Wilderness Area today. It’s located in Oviedo, FL and not a far drive from me. I saw a couple other people on the trail and that was about it. A very quiet and secluded hike. The hiking trail loops at the very end and it’s about a…
I was hiking this afternoon and came across a tree filled with great egret nests. I spent the afternoon filming the babies being fed and trying to use their wings. Here are some great egret facts so you can learn more about the bird and a 4K wildlife video of them in action. Great Egret…
Deep Hole I began my morning hiking out to Deep Hole. This is an area where hundreds of alligators will come to for the warm waters in the Winter. I hiked out in March and was told before I went that the gators this time of year would show up in numbers as the weather…
This 4K wildlife video was shot while hiking at Circle B Reserve on March 30, 2018. Circle B is located in Lakeland, FL and offers a huge amount of wildlife in a small, 1200 acre, area. It’s a great place for photographers and videographers. Scenes From Circle B Reserve Scene 1 – Baby barred…
Harry P Leu Gardens, or Leu Gardens is located in Orlando, FL. It’s a very popular spot for not only tourists, but locals as well. I went on my first visit last week and had a great 2 hour walk/hike. I produced this 4K video after my visit. Harry P Leu Gardens 1920 North…

To me, the white ibis is one of the strangest birds I’ve ever seen. Living in Orlando, I see quite a few as I’m between 2 lakes. I walked outside my apt yesterday to find 1 single ibis walking around a small area that was just mowed. I happen to have my new camera with…
