The full Worm Moon rising over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge this evening from Fort Desoto. Clouds blocked the moon until it was well above the bridge which prevented us from getting the shots we wanted, but these aren’t too bad of consolation prizes.

Skyway Bridge Sunrise Centered
Friday morning I took a trip out to Fort Desoto with my primary goal being to capture the sunrise centered over the Sunshine Skyway bridge. I did accomplish that after having to take a little morning jog down the beach to get in position. It was worth it though. Afterward […]
