Photos from Tampa, Florida
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 […]
I went out Thursday night to try to capture some of the Christmas Decorations around downtown Tampa. As seems to happen to me every year, there were some obstacles to getting the shots I wanted. The two main issues I had was they had a fence around Curtis Hixon Park. […]
On Saturday we made a visit to Busch Gardens Tampa Bay. We hadn’t been for awhile. Not too many changes since last time we went. Unfortunately the Cheetah Hunt roller coaster is down for maintenance but we rode Kumba, Montu, and Cobra’s Curse. The kids of course also enjoyed the […]
On a weekday morning that I happened to be off I made the decision to shoot sunrise at Julian Lane Park in Tampa. From there you have a good angle of the sunrise behind the Straz Center and downtown Tampa. Shortly after I arrived I by chance met a fellow […]
For October’s full moon which was called a Hunter’s moon I decided to head to my old standby, Ballast Point Park. I knew it would be a difficult shot because I had to shoot from the right side of the main pier where there are a ton of mangroves. Luckily […]
I went to photograph the 4th of July fireworks in Tampa last night. I got to my shooting spot an hour and a half early and there was already quite a few people around. I setup and waited. And waited and waited. The 9:15 fireworks did not actually go off […]
This morning we took the girls to Picnic Island to have a little bit of beach time. Picnic Island is nice because it is 10 minutes from our house and it makes doing a half day at the beach so much easier. The girls had a good time and we […]
Wednesday morning a partial lunar eclipse was visible from the Tampa Bay area. I had one idea for a shoot but changed my mind and ended up going to my fall back plan. Basically I just captured the moon as it went through the stages of the eclipse. I then […]
Another morning of photography in downtown Tampa. I basically stuck around the University of Tampa. The sunrise wasn’t super exciting and there weren’t many clouds in the sky but I got a few decent shots. Since most of the skies were pretty boring I started playing around with the sky […]
Went down to Ballast Point Park tonight to catch the full moon rise as it looked like it lined up pretty well with the pier. It was a little touch and go with some clouds, but ended up coming out pretty good. While I was waiting there were several dolphins […]
