Took a quick trip out to Tampa General Hospital for a few shots last night. I was experimenting with multiple different things and got several cool shots. I took some shots of the standard views. I took a few photos with my Lensball as I haven’t shot this vantage point […]

Photos from Tampa, Florida
The Wolf Moon over Tampa
Got some nice shots of the Wolf Moon rising over Tampa on Friday night. The key to making the moon look so large is being a good distance away (we were probably 12-13 miles from downtown Tampa) and using a long telephoto lens (mine was a 560mm equivalent).
Boom By the Bay 2022
Was able to make it out to photograph the Boom by the Bay tonight in Tampa. I photographed the biggest fireworks, off of Bayshore Boulevard. All in all it was a pretty good show, but I miss the normal location where I can capture the Tampa skyline behind the fireworks.
ZooTampa
Today we did a Cystic Fibrosis benefit walk that happened at ZooTampa. It was nice as we just got to walk through ZooTampa and go wherever we wanted. It was also overcast this morning so it wasn’t too hot. We made a loop around the whole zoo but the best […]
Super Flower Blood Moon over Tampa
Tonight we watched the Super Flower Blood Moon rise over downtown Tampa. The clouds blocked the moon initially but it popped out for a few minutes before ducking behind clouds again.
Tampa Bay Airfest 2022
Airfest is back in Tampa Bay. Excited that this event finally returned this year for the first time since 2018. It is always a good show and is a fun photographic challenge. This year, like 2018, was headlined by the US Navy Blue Angels. They put on a fantastic show. […]
The worm moon and Lightning over Tampa
Went out last night to try to capture the Worm Moon rising over downtown Tampa. The weather somewhat blocked that as there was a huge storm system 2/3 of the way to the other side of the state that blocked the moon until it was well above the city. We […]
River O’Green Tampa
I was able to make a quick visit to the River O’Green festival today in downtown Tampa after I left work. There was a pretty nice crowd and the weather was fantastic after the very cool morning. I mostly just did a quick walk around so I could grab some […]
Busch Gardens Tampa Bay
Spent about half a day at Busch Gardens today. My oldest daughter and I rode Tigris for the first time. It is short, but intense. The other main thing we did besides look at the animals was a jeep safari ride (Cost extra). The ride was about half an hour […]
Teco Manatee Viewing Center
It has been cooler recently so I figured it would be a good day to got to the TECO manatee viewing center. I was correct on that. There had to have been at least 150 manatees nearby. There were all sizes including some younger ones. There were even some that […]
