We are getting ready to do a photo shoot of the lighthouses on the Florida coast starting at Jupiter and going up through GA. Any recommendations as to the best vantage points for any of these? TIA

Have fun! Every lighthouse is slightly different, both the colors and how close you can get, how much you can tour. I like the wide angle from the base view, when possible. Below, Ponce de Leon at the base at 35mm full-frame. Ponce has a great museum too. If they let you climb to the top, don't miss the exercise and shots from the interior stairs.
