A little different edit showing the moon rising between where it popped out of the clouds above the city and then disappeared again a little higher.

Full Worm Moon rise over Skyway Bridge
The full Worm Moon rising over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge this evening from Fort Desoto. Clouds blocked the moon until it was well above the bridge which prevented us from getting the shots we wanted, but these aren’t too bad of consolation prizes.
Snow Moon at Ballast Point
Went down to Ballast Point Park for the moonrise tonight. Tonight’s moon is called the Snow Moon. It is also a micro moon, the smallest moon of the year because of the distance from Earth at this part of its orbit.
Flower Moon Over Tampa
Red “Flower Moon” Rising over Tampa from Saturday night. The moon didn’t show up for the attempt on Friday. I was able to reattempt Saturday. Good news is the moon did show up although briefly. Bad news, moonrise one hour later, windy and angle not as good. Happy I was […]
The Wolf Moon over Tampa
Got some nice shots of the Wolf Moon rising over Tampa on Friday night. The key to making the moon look so large is being a good distance away (we were probably 12-13 miles from downtown Tampa) and using a long telephoto lens (mine was a 560mm equivalent).
Lunar Eclipse November 2022
Went out to shoot the lunar eclipse early this morning. Was beautifully clear until the moon started getting close to the buildings I wanted to photograph it with and then a bunch of clouds blew in. I was able to capture the phases of the eclipse and made a composite […]
Moonrise over Tampa
Made another outing to try to capture the moonrise over Tampa. The clouds again interfered and didn’t allow us to see the moon until almost half an hour after it rose so we missed some of the best shots. There was a beautiful sunset before this happened so that was […]
Partial Lunar Eclipse 2021
Wednesday morning a partial lunar eclipse was visible from the Tampa Bay area. I had one idea for a shoot but changed my mind and ended up going to my fall back plan. Basically I just captured the moon as it went through the stages of the eclipse. I then […]
Worm Moon
Went down to Ballast Point Park tonight to catch the full moon rise as it looked like it lined up pretty well with the pier. It was a little touch and go with some clouds, but ended up coming out pretty good. While I was waiting there were several dolphins […]
Snow Moon at the St Pete Pier
I ventured out on Saturday night to capture the full moon, this one called the Snow Moon. St Pete was packed and the Pier was also very crowded. There were some low clouds so I wasn’t sure if the moon would even be visible, but it popped out and rose […]
