Quick post tonight with a couple of views of Tampa. First shot is Tampa Warm Light Tight Crop. Taken near sunset with the goal to capture that golden glow. Added a little glow in Photoshop to enhance the scene. Second shot is a fisheye view of Downtown Tampa taken from […]

Tampa Sunrise and Night
I’m repeating my Morning/night or sunrise/sunset type theme today. I’ll start with a sunrise at Kiley Gardens. This was the morning I was there to photograph the lunar eclipse and as the moon set was able to turn around and capture the sunrise behind the buildings. The designs and artwork […]
Tampa Skyline with Reflection and Fireworks – Composite
Today’s first shot is a composite. The second shot is the base file I used to make it. Here is the general process. First, I processed the file with my normal technique. I then added the fireworks to the main photo by placing them underneath and using the lighten blend […]
Cloudy Tampa Day
It looks like a pretty cloudy, ugly day out there this morning so I’m going with a few cloudy pictures today. Not exactly chamber of commerce weather. The first shot is an angled shot that captures the Tampa skyline, Hillsborough River, and the palm trees at Plant Park. The second […]
Around the Tampa Convention Center

My favorite Tampa Skyline view again. Today I have a night shot (actually taken before sunrise) and a day shot (actually taken shortly before sunset). I framed the scene pretty similar in both cases but as you can see the two pictures are very different do to the different lighting. […]
The Best of Tampa
Tonight I have three images that I think represent some of the best things in Tampa. The first shot is Bayshore Meets Platt Tight. This is the location of either the beginning or the end of Bayshore Boulevard, depending on which way you are going. Bayshore has what is reportedly […]
Tampa Views
Two less traditional views of Tampa tonight. The first is a skyline view, but this one was take from Curtis Hixon Park in downtown Tampa. I liked the way the buildings stacked together and also liked the green of top of the Suntrust Building which I guess must have been […]
