December 2nd, 2007

I was in South Beach this past week shooting some photos of the famous ArtDeco District along Ocean Drive and Collins Ave.  Built in the 1920s, theColony Hotel is one of South Beach's most famous treasures and mostrecognizable hotels along Ocean Drive due to its stunning blue neon lights.I didn't get as many shots as I would've liked as I was soon hassled by CityCode Compliance Officer Philip Whitehead for not having all the properpermits to shoot.  Can you believe it, he wanted to issue me a citation fornot applying and being issued a filming permit?  That's a new one in mybook -- especially considering photos as these are free tourism advertisingand promotion for the city. He didn't see it that way.

Anyway, here are a couple of images I was able to get before almost being arrested.

Exposure was about 4 secs at F8 with the camera mounted on a tripod.
