Photos from St Petersburg, Florida
There are quite a lot of cool buildings, pieces of art, and other subjects to photograph along the St Petersburg waterfront. The fountain is probably my favorite sunrise location so of course I took a visit while I had the fisheye lens a while back. I don’t normally like zooming […]
A quick post tonight. The St Petersburg Pier shot was taken during the “Supermoon” last month. I am trying different methods of cropping the photos and like how this one looked with a more panoramic crop and is balance by the sailboat on the opposite side of the moon. The […]
Tonight’s shots are again from St Petersburg while I had the rented fisheye lens. The first shot, surprise, surprise, is from the St Petersburg Pier. This was taken from the 5th floor observation deck around 9:15 at night. I like the curve and color of the lighted portion of the […]
Back to St Petersburg tonight. The first shot is of the Salvador Dali Museum and the palm trees surrounding it. This was taken with the fisheye lens. The moon was in the location and the size as seen in this photo, however I masked in a more detailed moon photo […]

What is your favorite time of day to shoot? For me it has always been around sunrise. I like the quiet and calmness of being one of the very few people out and awake at this time. I enjoy being able to take photos without having to wait for people […]
Sometimes it is about the gear! Last night I wrote about how it is not all about the gear, but more the vision that makes a good photographer. Tonight I will take the counerpoint. Sometimes it is about the gear. I was recently commissioned to take a specific photo of […]
My standard workflow for working with HDR photos like today’s is to first import with Lightroom. During the import process I have Lightroom fill in the copyright and contact information in the metadata. Of course as soon as I wrote that I went into Lightroom and saw that my import […]
