Here are a few more angles of the Sail Pavilion and the Tampa Convention Center from my visit last weekend. There were a decent number of people out along the waterfront enjoying the nice weather and the sunset. The first shot was the angle with the most people which is […]
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 my goals last time out shooting was to capture a couple of higher resolution files of some of my favorite scenes. These two shots of the Tampa skyline are composites. The First shot, Tampa High Resolution Pano is a composite of 35 files. It is an HDR photo […]
I generally prefer to shoot my photos of downtown in the early morning. That way I can capture night like pictures before sunrise, the sunrise itself and the early morning. The other huge benefit is there are very few people to get in my pictures. The morning I shot these […]

Well, despite living in Florida my whole life and doing photography for almost 10 years, I finally captured my first lightning shot the other night. Unfortunately I couldn’t get any big bolts as most of it was behind the clouds, but at least I caught part of a bolt. The […]
