My second favorite viewpoint in Tampa, the Platt Street Bridge view. I keep going back to this because the changing lights on both the bridges and the top of the Suntrust tower make it a little different each time. On the way home I took several shots of the Hyde […]

Boardwalk Chandalier and Epcot Ball Reflected
Two more from the Disney trip. One my last Disney post I talked about paying attention to the details. Check out this chandelier in the lobby of the Boardwalk Resort. I have never seen mermaid/horses before. Next time I have to try to get right under it and take a […]
Two shots, one spot
The two photos tonight were taken from one spot. The first shot is of Curtis Hixon Park and the Tampa Museum of Art across the Hillsborough River. I love the reflections. The Museum of Art is hard to capture because of the color and brightness contrast. You can also see […]
Christmas at Disney
Disney definitely goes all out for the holidays and especially Christmas. All of the hotels are decorated to varying degrees as are the parks themselves. We stayed in Boardwalk which had a large Christmas tree out back and a huge gingerbread display in the lobby. I also visited the Yacht […]
Tampa Classics
While in Curtis Hixon Park the other night to capture the Christmas tree I turned around and got the view of the skyline. I had to sidestep several times to get the buildings lined up in this format. Any time I am shooting in downtown I almost always try to […]
Christmas in Tampa
Sticking with the theme of Christmas in Tampa tonight. The first shot is from Lykes Gaslight Park. I liked the path with the Christmas lights on both sides. The second shot is from Hyde Park Village. This is the Christmas tree in the main village area. It changes many colors […]
Christmastime in Tampa
A few more shots from my jaunt to downtown last week. The first shot is the classic Platt Street Bridge view. This is probably the most classic view of the Tampa skyline. This one is a little different since the Suntrust Building is lit up red and green for Christmas. […]
Rock the Park, Curtis Hixon Park, Tampa, Florida
Since it is getting closer to Christmas and I had the day off I went down to downtown Tampa on Thursday night to try to capture the Christmas Tree in Curtis Hixon Park. I did not realize that there was an event going on in the park called “Rock the […]
The Epcot Ball and Disney’s Dolphin Hotel
One of the other main icons at Disney World in Orlando is the Epcot Ball aka Spaceship Earth. I always try to take a picture or two which is not easy because of the crowds and it is difficult to get a good angle and get all of it in […]
Cinderella’s Castle and the Boardwalk at Night
Of course, a trip to the Magic Kingdom would not be complete without a few pictures of Cinderella’s Castle. I like this angle which had a nice reflection. The weekend we were there they were taping the Christmas parade so you could not get much of a shot from the […]
