Just to keep things fresh, here are the last two shots I have from our previous trip to Miami. Miami has a pretty nice skyline that is pretty easy to capture from Watson Island. These shots were both captured from teh bridge that connects Watson Island with downtown Miami.
Tampa is definitely growing up. There is more excitement around the downtown area than I have ever seen. Thinks like the Tampa Riverwalk, the new USF training center and several new apartments/condos are definitely changing the look and feel of the downtown area. I am interested to see how the […]
Just a couple more shots from one of my favorite viewpoints in Tampa.
A quick post today. I’ll start with a sunrise from Ballast Point Park Pier. This park is a great place to watch a sunrise as is all of Bayshore Boulevard. The second shot is another view of the Tampa skyline from Tampa General Hospital. I used a tighter crop here […]

There is a big event this weekend in Tampa called Riverfest to celebrate the Tampa Riverwalk and downtown Tampa. There are multiple events along the different parks of the Riverwalk including a Mac and Cheese Showdown and a Bloody Mary Festival. I’m glad to see Tampa is putting the Riverwalk […]

Today’s first shot is a composite. The second shot is the base file I used to make it. Here is the general process. First, I processed the file with my normal technique. I then added the fireworks to the main photo by placing them underneath and using the lighten blend […]
