By far my two favorite buildings to photograph in St Petersburg are the pier and the Salvador Dali Museum. With the pier being surrounded by water I usually try to get an angle that incorporates the water. This works especially well around sunrise. I’m hoping that St Petersburg gets the […]
Time for a few photos from St Petersburg today. The first shot is a selfie where my reflection was captured in the shiny glass of the Mahaffey Theater. This is one of teh few ways I ever get in a picture. I was standing right up against the glass almost […]
St Petersburg has a bunch of parks that line the waterfront and provide great views of the city. The two pictures today were both taken from parks right along the water.. The first shit today is St Petersburg from Albert Whitted Park. You can see the Mahaffey Theater, downtown St […]
Before capturing my previous photo of teh sailboats at sunrise, I took several photos around the fountain which sits directly across the road from the Salvador Dali Museum along the water. The cool things about this area is that it is right next to the water, catches some reflections, and […]

Two shots from St Petersburg tonight. The first shot is a panorama of the Don Cesar Hotel on St Pete Beach. This photo is a panorama of 4 sets of 3 vertical shots taken from near the front entrance. Each of the 4 sets of three were converted to HDR […]
