PHOTOGRAPHING THE ISLANDS

Sanibel and Captiva Islands are a special place on
Florida's west coast.  Just a short drive across the Causeway Road from the mainland and suddenly you are in a completely different world - a nature wonderland!  You will wonder at the island's lush green tropical foliage and the assortment of different nature habitats and 
local creatures ripe for the camera lens.  

From seaside to the depths of Ding Darling's Nature Preserve you will be surrounded by photo op's whether high up in the trees or even under water.  Your endless assortment of models will vary from the feather clad to the glistening smooth silver skin of a bottle-nosed dolphin.  Even tourists are good targets as they come in every size and shape and wear wild tropical colors while on vacation. 

The images gathered here for our gallery  were created by one
of the area's resident photographers, Roberta Schuldenfrei.   
She has been capturing the area's tranquil beauty 
for over a decade.

Please take a moment to relax, and browse
through her gallery of photographs.
