Back to St Petersburg tonight. The first shot is of the Salvador Dali Museum and the palm trees surrounding it. This was taken with the fisheye lens. The moon was in the location and the size as seen in this photo, however I masked in a more detailed moon photo […]
These two photos of downtown Tampa were both taken while looking for new angles of downtown during the time I had a rented fisheye lens. The first shot is taken from the University of Tampa at night. I composed the shot so that the artwork would sit between the downtown […]
Everglades National Park is definitely one of my favorite places in Florida to visit. In terms of photography there are some cool Florida landscapes, lots of very tame birds, a lot of gators, and the chance to see something special like a Florida Panther. Any visit to the Everglades should […]
The Circle B Bar Reserve in Lakeland is a new find for me, but has quickly become one of my favorite places. On my first visit I saw one of the best sunrises I have ever seen (View here). Today was my second visit and the highlight was a Sadhill […]
Dry Tortugas National Park is about 70 miles west of Key West, Florida. It is only accessible by boat or float plane. I have traveled to it both ways in the same weekend. Flying into the fort from the air is spectacular with great views of the fort and the […]
Green Cay Wetlands is another one of my favorite photography places. Green Cay Wetlands is a former working farm and now has been transformed into a water reclamation area and a wildlife haven. There is a 1.5 mile boardwalk that gives you great access to the wetlands. This is another […]
I am contintuing my series of favorite places with Three Lakes WMA and Joe Overstreet Road in Kissimme, Florida. This area is one of the best areas in the state to see a lot of wildlife and some old Florida scenery. There are several endangered or threatened species that are […]
Today I am going to start a series about my favorite places. Since I just visited last weekend I will start with Viera Wetlands. Viera Wetlands is a man made wetland at a water treatment plant. That may not sound pleasant, but there is no smell and it has created […]
Today’s photo is from the St Petersburg Pier at sunset. Including the viewfinder (binoculars or whatever you call that thing) is something that has become popular lately on a lot of the photo sharing sites. We have all seen hundreds of shots from the classic locations such as Half Dome, […]
Another type of photo that I really enjoy looking for are reflections. I use them a lot with my city scenes, but they also work well with wildlife. One of the most important things when shooting reflections is the angle you are shooting from. With a lot of shots it […]
