I couldn’t resist posting a few more shot from our Lowry Park Zoo trip. Here is another shot of the two young elephants playfighting. They seemed to get along pretty good and the younger one mostly followed around her older “sister”. The second shot is of an orangutan which are […]
One of my goals last time out shooting was to capture a couple of higher resolution files of some of my favorite scenes. These two shots of the Tampa skyline are composites. The First shot, Tampa High Resolution Pano is a composite of 35 files. It is an HDR photo […]
This morning we took the kids to visit Lowry Park Zoo and made a beeline to see the new baby elephant. The new baby is named Mavi and was born July 29th. She was not too active until her “big sister” Mpumi came out and then they walked around and […]

I wasn’t sleeping well last night which made it a lot easier to get up today and make a quick jaunt to downtown for a few photos. I mainly stuck to the classic angles although I found a few new shots. One of the big things I was trying to […]
If you don’t have a boat there are a couple of options to photograph the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in St Petersburg, Florida. One option is from the East Beach turnaround at Fort Desoto Park in Tierra Verde. This requires a longer lens and is best at a certain time of […]
