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 […]

Wetlands sunrise and gator chomp
Alligators are back in the news again as a southwest Florida boy lost his arm to a gator this week. Growing up in Florida and being interested in nature I have always enjoyed seeing and watching gators. I was taught to have a healthy respect for alligators, but not to […]
Appalachicola National Forest
Another site in Florida that I would like to revisit is Appalachicola National Forest. This area is up near Tallahassee and covers a pretty wide area. There are a lot of dirt roads and a lot of pine trees. A lot of the habitat is Florida scrub which has a […]

Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Great Smoky Mountains National Park is the most visited National Park in the United States. I have only been once since I started photography and enjoyed the week I spent there. There is a lot that can be seen even from the road, but to see more, and get away […]

Heron Silhouette
One type of shot that I am always on the lookout for is the silhouette. I have had good luck with this type of image at Viera Wetlands due to the setup making it easy to position the bird in front of a bright sky. My favorite silhouette shot can […]
Florencia Condo, St Petersburg
What is your favorite time of day to shoot? For me it has always been around sunrise. I like the quiet and calmness of being one of the very few people out and awake at this time. I enjoy being able to take photos without having to wait for people […]
