The title of this blog post is also the title of this colorful mural in downtown St Petersburg. The Greetings from St Pete Mural was painted by artist Derek Donnelly. You can see more of his murals here. The second shot is a sunrise shot of the St Petersburg skyline […]
My first post of 2018 is a look back to January of 2017. I still have quite a few pictures of our Costa Rica trip to share. Today I have a Costa Rica jungle sunrise taken from the deck at Lapa Rios ecolodge. This was a beautiful viewpoint where you […]
The waterfront in St Petersburg is a great spot to watch or photograph a sunrise. There is a long stretch of waterfront that you can follow while looking for good subjects to capture. Some of my favorites include the Dali Museum, the fountain almost across from the Dali, the Sailboats […]
It had been a long time so I decided to head to downtown St Petersburg for my last photo trip. The skyline is definitely changing every time I head that way. I love how much waterfront you can walk along in St Petersburg. I parked at Demen’s Landing and took […]
Back to Ballast Point Park for sunrise. The park is located on the southern end of Bayshore Boulevard in Tampa.
Ballast Point Park continues to be my go to location for sunrises. This is because you get a good sunrise view over the water and also it’s about 5 minutes from my house so I can wake up shortly before sunrise and still get there in time. Downtown Tampa is […]
After writing so many of these posts, mostly covering Tampa, I sometimes run out of ideas. Therefore I am repeating one of my favorites, a sunrise and sunset pair. These are from opposite sides of Tampa as you would expect. The sunrise is from Ballast Point Park in South Tampa. […]
Another trip to Fort Desoto to capture a sunrise and of course, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge is definitely my favorite subject from here. I love the golden hour, especially in the morning, when it’s quiet. The sun rising between the spans only happens for a short time each year.
The first shot today is a large panorama of the Tampa skyline and continuing all the way through Harbour Island. The Full size panorama is 16,099×5315 and has a lot of detail in it. I realized that I should do more panoramas after shooting several on our California vacation this […]
For sunrises at Fort Desoto Park I usually like to go to either the end near the Skyway bridge or the Bay Pier. The Bay Pier is the shorter of the two piers at Fort Desoto, but usually lines up better with the sunrise. I captured a few sunrise shots […]
