For October’s full moon which was called a Hunter’s moon I decided to head to my old standby, Ballast Point Park. I knew it would be a difficult shot because I had to shoot from the right side of the main pier where there are a ton of mangroves. Luckily […]

4th of July in Tampa
I went to photograph the 4th of July fireworks in Tampa last night. I got to my shooting spot an hour and a half early and there was already quite a few people around. I setup and waited. And waited and waited. The 9:15 fireworks did not actually go off […]
Picnic Island Finds
This morning we took the girls to Picnic Island to have a little bit of beach time. Picnic Island is nice because it is 10 minutes from our house and it makes doing a half day at the beach so much easier. The girls had a good time and we […]
Tampa Morning
Another morning of photography in downtown Tampa. I basically stuck around the University of Tampa. The sunrise wasn’t super exciting and there weren’t many clouds in the sky but I got a few decent shots. Since most of the skies were pretty boring I started playing around with the sky […]
SpaceX Falcon 9 Launch April 23, 2021
This mornings launch of the Falcon 9 rocket from Kennedy Space Center was incredible. We set up this morning on Bayshore Boulevard in Tampa to capture the scene. It was way more impressive than the last launch I photographed. This rocket is taking 4 astronauts up to the International Space […]
Christmas in Tampa
I went out last week to get my yearly Tampa Christmas photos. Unfortunately the Ybor City tree was only a third lit up despite just having the tree lighting a few nights before. I headed to downtown. As you can see, Old City Hall was looking nice with the red […]
Views from Parking Garages
One of my favorite ways to find new angles for shots of my hometown are to explore the parking garages. I will often go up to the top level to get a different perspective on areas that I photograph regularly. The sunrise was taken from a parking garage on the […]
Tampa From TGH
Tampa from TGH. Not much more to say. Definitely one of my top 2 spots to capture the Tampa skyline from. The other is Plant Park at University of Tampa. Both have water between you and the skyline allowing for some great reflections.
Tampa Bay Lightning
The Tampa Bay Lightning are Stanley Cup champs! From a lifelong Tampa sports fan I know how special it is to win a championship like this. There have only been two others in my lifetime, when the Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat Oakland in Super Bowl XXXVII and the previous time […]
Sunrise in line with Ballast Point Pier
One of my most frequent shooting spots, especially for sunrise is the Ballast Point Park pier in South Tampa. I live about 5 minutes away so it is an easy place for me to run out to if I have time to catch the sunrise. A lot of the time […]
