Had the morning off so ran out to the Circle B Bar Reserve with a pit stop at Lake Morton on the way home. Got a few decent bird pics including a nice closeup of an Osprey. Found a pretty cool bug called a wheel bug with something it had […]

Lunar Eclipse November 2022
Went out to shoot the lunar eclipse early this morning. Was beautifully clear until the moon started getting close to the buildings I wanted to photograph it with and then a bunch of clouds blew in. I was able to capture the phases of the eclipse and made a composite […]
Circle B Reopened
The Circle B Bar Reserve close after Hurricane Ian and was closed until Halloween. Looks like a lot of trees came down and they had to spend a lot of time cleaning it up and letting it dry out somewhat. It is still pretty wet. I didn’t see anything super […]
Fort Desoto Sunrise and Birds
Took a trip out to Fort Desoto on Saturday morning. The goal was to capture the sunrise centered over the Skyway Bridge. I did get it although the clouds interfered somewhat. Afterwards I wandered around a little to photograph birds. I got some really good shots of the American Oystercatchers […]
Milky Way from St Pete
We made one last trip out to capture the Milky Way before the season ends and the core becomes not really visible for the next coupe of months. We actually started shooting while the moon was still out which is not ideal for capturing the Milky way but managed to […]
Moonrise over Tampa
Made another outing to try to capture the moonrise over Tampa. The clouds again interfered and didn’t allow us to see the moon until almost half an hour after it rose so we missed some of the best shots. There was a beautiful sunset before this happened so that was […]
Ballast Point Rocket Launch
I’ve been trying to capture a rocket launch from Ballast Point park recently but haven’t had much luck. On this evening it was a little early to capture good streak shots of the rocket, but I thought we might get a space jellyfish and we did although it was a […]
Ballast Point Sunrise
Went to Ballast Point Park to try to get the alignment of the sun rising straight down the pier as I have captured in the past. I was probably a couple days later than I should have been. Still got a few cool shots including one of the alignment. Before […]
Bolts over the Bay
When heading out for my run tonight I saw a bunch of lightning in the direction of the Bay so I headed over to Ballast Point Park and I got some of my favorite lighting pictures yet.
Circle B Bar Owl and more
Took a morning trip to the Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland for a little wildlife and nature on Monday. I got there in time for the sunrise over the lake which was decent. Shortly after sunrise I found a Barred Owl very close to the trail. I hadn’t seen […]
