I think I have probably used the title St Petersburg Sunrise for multiple posts, but I could not think of anything more appropriate for this one. These shots are from the day I went out to see the partial solar eclipse. While waiting for the sunrise, one sailboat left the […]
the first picture tonight is probably my favorite new shot of St Petersburg. I was able to capture it right after sunrise so it has a nice warm glow. Also, this viewpoint shows off the waterfront and the sailboats. The second shot is of the now closed St Petersburg Pier […]
On Sunday morning I headed over to St Petersburg with the main goal of capturing the partial eclipse. After that was complete I wanted to look for a few new photo subjects. When I am in St Petersburg I generally focus on the Dali Museum, the Mahaffey Theater, and the […]

Several of my photo requests have been looking for photos in the vertical orientation and I normally default to the horizontal orientation, especially for my cityscapes and landscape images.
