Green Cay Nature Center is located in Boynton Beach, Florida. It is one of the nicer boardwalks that I have been to in Florida. The wetlands is a water treatment area and it draws a lot of wildlife. It is one of the better birding areas in South Florida, especially […]
Back across the Bay today for a few sunrise shots of St Petersburg. The waterfront in St Petersburg is so much better utilized than the waterfront in Tampa although Tampa is quickly catching up in that regard. Of course the whole Pier debacle does not help the St Peterburg waterfront. […]
Still digging my way through some old files. Another from my favorite point of downtown Tampa. I liked the colors of the reflections on this shot. Plus it also had some nice clouds. The second shot is of Sacred Heart Catholic Church. It sits at the heart of downtown and […]
One of the things I really like about HDR is how it puts an emphasis on the clouds. I do not like HDR for a lot of my nature photography, but if there is a good sky, especially with some nice clouds then I will use HDR. The first shot […]
The Museum of Fine Arts in St Petersburg is a pretty cool building, but in my opinion it always looks best before dawn or after dusk. This morning it was particularly colorful as they have an exhibit going currently called Color Acting. The second shot is another sunrise reflection of […]
Here are a couple of photos I took while waiting for fireworks on the 4th of July. As you can see it was very cloudy and we were wondering if there was going to be any fireworks. It rained on and off throughout the day, but did stop long enough […]
I definitely need to try to shoot more vertical compositions. I definitely default to the horizontal composition for the majority of my photos. I really noticed this when I was trying to find a background to use for my Iphone and found a lot more horizontal photos. These two viewpoints […]
Tonight I am going with two very different sights from downtown Tampa. I have one of the classic skyline shots that I captured along with some nice clouds. The other shot is from my first visit to Oaklawn Cemetery, which believe it or not, is basically in downtown Tampa. Here […]
Tonight I am showing you a little less dangerous side of Weedon Island, the mangrove islands. Mangroves are one of the most important ecosystems for fish and birds. The boardwalk through Weedon Island takes you between rows of Mangrove trees and to a few lakes and overlooks with good views. […]
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 […]
