Of course one of the biggest things I was anxious to try with my new camera was some HDR shooting. This camera does have built in HDR mode which I did not try and will likely not use. I will probably try it out, but I like to be able […]

New Camera
After about 5 years of shooting with the Canon 40D I finally made the move and upgraded to the Canon 5D Mark III. I do not have any pictures to share that I have taken with it yet as I haven’t had time to use it on anything except for […]
Tampa Sights
Two of my never miss locations in downtown are the skyline view from either Platt Street Bridge or from Tampa General Hospital and the University of Tampa. This is one of my favorite vertical shots. I was going through vertical shot recently looking for a background for the Iphone I […]
Night and Day
Time of day can also make a huge difference in how you capture a subject. Both of these shots are from the St Petersburg Pier. One is at sunrise. The other was taken at night with the pier all lit up. They both have a really different feel to them. […]
Two completely different photos of same subject
Tonight’s photos are both of the Cocoa Beach Pier. However, that is about all that is similar about them. The first shot is of sunrise. The shot was processed as an HDR to really bring out the color and pop. The vertical composition allows for the sunrise colors to reflect […]
Smoky Mountains Historic Cabins

Disney’s Polynesian Hotel
Disney’s Polynesian Hotel is another of the hotels that are reachable by the monorail that also goes to the Magic Kingdom, Grand Floridian and Contemporary. Ohana’s family style breakfast is one of the best meals you can have at Disney, but come hungry. The lobby is very nice and has […]
Fresco’s Waterfront Bistro and Zoltar
St Petersburg’s downtown area has a lot of stuff going on most nights. It’s nice to just walk around down there and see everyone eating outside the restaurants and all the nightlife. Fresco’s Waterfront Bistro which is right at the base of the road to the pier is as close […]
Happy New Years!!
I hope everyone had a good 2012 and that 2013 is even better. This has definitely been my best year in terms of getting my photography out there and getting it used in various places. One of my goals for 2013 would be to continue to build my photography hobby […]
St Petersburg Christmas Lights
Tonight another shot from the Christmas house in St Petersburg and one from Straub Park in downtown of the Christmas tree. Downtown St Peterburg is definitely a lot more festive that Tampa. [facebook]
