Time of day can also make a huge difference in how you capture a subject. Both of these shots are from the St Petersburg Pier. One is at sunrise. The other was taken at night with the pier all lit up. They both have a really different feel to them. […]
St Petersburg’s downtown area has a lot of stuff going on most nights. It’s nice to just walk around down there and see everyone eating outside the restaurants and all the nightlife. Fresco’s Waterfront Bistro which is right at the base of the road to the pier is as close […]
Since I went with Tampa photos last night I figured I would stay close by and do a few from St Petersburg tonight. Both of the shots tonight were taken during a period when I had a rented fisheye lens to play with. It has definitely paid off. The first […]
I try to keep posting a variety of subjects on this site although the majority of my shooting recently has been around downtown Tampa. These two tonight are both from St Petersburg. The first shot is a fisheye from the top of the St Petersburg Pier. You area able to […]
I have a bunch more good shots from my recent outings in Tampa that I will continue to post, but I did not want to got too many days in a row on Tampa only. Tonight I am throwing in a couple of St Petersburg shots. The first shot is […]

Tonight’s shots are again from St Petersburg while I had the rented fisheye lens. The first shot, surprise, surprise, is from the St Petersburg Pier. This was taken from the 5th floor observation deck around 9:15 at night. I like the curve and color of the lighted portion of the […]

Today’s photo is from the St Petersburg Pier at sunset. Including the viewfinder (binoculars or whatever you call that thing) is something that has become popular lately on a lot of the photo sharing sites. We have all seen hundreds of shots from the classic locations such as Half Dome, […]
My standard workflow for working with HDR photos like today’s is to first import with Lightroom. During the import process I have Lightroom fill in the copyright and contact information in the metadata. Of course as soon as I wrote that I went into Lightroom and saw that my import […]
