Time for a few more Tampa traffic trails taken from the Skypoint condo in downtown Tampa. The first shot was taken around dusk as the lights on the buildings were just starting to come on. This is the first shot that I was able to capture the traffic trails from […]
Quick post tonight with a couple of views of Tampa. First shot is Tampa Warm Light Tight Crop. Taken near sunset with the goal to capture that golden glow. Added a little glow in Photoshop to enhance the scene. Second shot is a fisheye view of Downtown Tampa taken from […]
