Decided to look for a new sunrise location since I am frequently near the East Coast of Florida. I decided to try the Cocoa Beach Pier as I have never been there. I was pretty happy with the decision. The sunrise was nice although I could have used a few […]

Back to Pittsburgh
We are returning to Pittsburgh in a couple of weeks for another wedding so I thought I would add a few more Pittsburgh pictures from our last trip. On our first trip we were lucky enough to stay at the Omni William Penn Hotel in downtown Pittsburgh. It was a […]
Cumberland Island National Seashore, Georgia
I have made a few trips up into Georgia, but would definitely like to explore more. We had a great time in Atlanta visiting the zoo, the aquarium, and Centennial Park. We definitely would like to make another long week trip back to Atlanta soon. Savannah was not really that […]
To HDR or not to HDR
There are a lot of photographers out there that do not like HDR photography. The complaints are that it is over saturated, overdone, and cartoonish. So what? There are a lot of photographers and I think a lot of the general public that love HDR photographs. These images from Dinosaur […]
Appalachicola National Forest
Another site in Florida that I would like to revisit is Appalachicola National Forest. This area is up near Tallahassee and covers a pretty wide area. There are a lot of dirt roads and a lot of pine trees. A lot of the habitat is Florida scrub which has a […]

More dinosaurs
You might be seeing a lot of dinosaur pictures from me over the next couple of weeks. I will try to mix some other stuff in but I like how these are coming out so far. These were pretty much all taken middle of the day. A lot of the […]
Dinosaur World, Plant City, Florida
Today we took our first visit to Dinosaur World, Plant City, Florida. The kids had fun and we did too. It is a great place for some HDR photography. There are around 150 dinosaurs throughout the park. There is also a fossil dig area where the kids can pretend they […]
Don’t forget the people
I do not like to take people pictures. I currently take pictures of my daughters, but before they were born I very rarely included people in my shots. This is definitely a regret from my trip to Africa. If I were to do it all over I would have taken […]
A couple of oldies
Tonight I am showing two shots from our vacation back from 2006 to Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. It is fun to look back at some of my old shots to see how far I have come with my photography. Very few of my old favorite shots […]
