FLORIDA KEYS — An interactive Florida Keys Photo Adventure website has been unveiled showcasing the island chain renowned for its natural beauty and visual appeal.

The site is linked from the home page of the official Florida Keys & Key West tourism council’s website at www.fla-keys.com and also is available directly at www.fla-keys.com/photoadventure/.

Photo Adventure provides a virtual vacation where travel photographers of all skill levels can share their Keys digital images with an online community and learn from professionals.

Features include an extensive photo gallery section that visually exemplifies the characteristics of the destination’s architecture, environment, animal and marine creatures, culture, quirks, sunsets, underwater beauty, local color and more.

Participants can submit one or more of their images to be displayed in online galleries, sharing image location, time shot and camera data, when available. Contributors also may see one of their images selected as the “Image of the Month,” representing the best monthly submission.

Professional Keys-based shooters offer their expertise in a Meet Professional Photographers section. Featured experts share how-to photo tips and their favorite locations and best times of day for iconic photo opportunities in the Keys.

Visitors also can embark on the Photo Quest, a self-drive itinerary that includes several popular sites in each Keys region that can be captured along the 104-mile span between Key Largo and Key West.
