Since the full moon coincided with the weekend I was able to catch the moonset this morning. I captured it at Pier 60 at Clearwater Beach. I had not been there in quite awhile. It turned out good but had some challenging shooting conditions, primarily the wind. After the full […]

Photos from St Petersburg, Florida
Supermoon and Comet Atlas
Went out tonight and photographed the Supermoon (biggest of this year because it is the closest to Earth) which was the Hunter’s Moon this month. We shot it at the St Pete Pier again. Afterwards I was able to get a couple of decent pics of Comet Atlas over the […]
St Pete Pier Sunrise
It had been too long since I have spent a morning at the St Pete Pier photographing the sunrise so I fixed that this morning. It ended up that I picked a good morning as there were some really nice colors.
Flower Moonrise At St Pete Pier
We shot the moonrise at the Pier again but tried something a little different. We got it to line up with both the bottom and top openings and the shots came out really cool. There were a group of about 10 of us moving back and forth and occasionally shooting […]
Pass-A-Grille Milky Way
Went out very early this morning to shoot the Milky Way with a few friends at Pass-A-Grille Beach. Tried a few new things this time. I had an older camera running the whole time we were there and used it to make a timelapse video and a star trail photo. […]
Full Worm Moon rise over Skyway Bridge
The full Worm Moon rising over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge this evening from Fort Desoto. Clouds blocked the moon until it was well above the bridge which prevented us from getting the shots we wanted, but these aren’t too bad of consolation prizes.

Skyway Bridge Sunrise Centered
Friday morning I took a trip out to Fort Desoto with my primary goal being to capture the sunrise centered over the Sunshine Skyway bridge. I did accomplish that after having to take a little morning jog down the beach to get in position. It was worth it though. Afterward […]
Rainbows and Rockets?
Headed over to St Pete this evening in an attempt to capture the launch of the SpaceX Inspiration 4 all civilian mission to space. Unfortunately there were a lot of clouds so I didn’t get much of the rocket at all. The good part was that there was a great […]
