Travel photos (anything outside of home area of Tampa, St Petersburg)
With our trip coming up soon I was looking through a few of my shots form my last trip. These are two locations I would definitely love to revisit. The first is the classic, absolutely can’t miss, sunrise at Clingmans Dome. The second was from an overlook about halfway between […]
Tonight a few more from my trip to south Florida last week. First, another shot of the rainbow. In this one you can see a little bit of the double rainbow. This was after I sat through the storm a second time, this time at Fakahatchee Strand Preserve. For new […]
Tonight I am posting a couple more of the shots from my trip to Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary near Naples, Florida. I love the boardwalk there and always try to capture it and the environment. Often this is difficult because it can be very contrasty but is easier to capture near […]
One of my favorite places in Florida which I spent a few hours at last week is Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary near Naples. Now as I stated yesterday the wildlife overall was pretty uncooperative, but at least here there were a few good things to shoot. I timed my drive to […]
Last week I got a chance to return to some of my old haunts in South Florida. These included Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary, Panther National Wildlife Refuge, Big Cypress Preserve, and Fakahatchee Strand. The wildlife was not cooperative at all. However I was able to capture a few nice landscape shots. […]
The two shots tonight go back a few years when I was on a trip in Africa with my sister who had just finished her two year stint in the Peace Corps. The first shot is a pair of White Storks that were nesting on a wall in Marrakesh, Morocco. […]
There are a couple of different ways to go about capturing animals in nature. One as with this elk shot is to try to capture an interesting behavior. The elk in Chataloochee were very active the morning I was there and the fog really made for a great atmosphere. These […]
Yesterday I wrote about the abundance of birds being nice for a photographer in Florida. Another nice aspect of Florida is that I can watch a sunrise over the east coast or a sunset over the west coast. It is also only about 2 1/2 hours apart if I wanted […]
Great Smoky Mountains National Park is known for its scenery, but it also has a lot of historic and beautiful architecture. The first shot is an old barn in Cades Cove at the Tipton Place. This style of barn is called a cantilever barn. They have a cantilever, or overhang, […]
Since I have had a lot of interest in my last few photos from Dry Tortugas National Park, here are a couple more. There are not too many better places to relax than this hammock at Fort Jefferson. You can get a cool ocean breeze and have spectacular views of […]
