Al Palonis Park – Tampa, Florida

 I captured this beautiful photo a few weeks back. I was waiting to share this in hopes that I would find the SD card that had all the shots from this set but had no such luck. The sun lined up perfectly with this little tree, poor thing is struggling to survive.

As always, thanks for looking & feel free to share!

The exterior & interior of the restaurant is really cool, a mix of modern & rustic design.

I was in downtown Tampa with my fiancé and we were both starving, we couldn’t decide on a place to eat. So it was up to me to pick a spot. I decided on Ulele, after constantly seeing my friends post photos and rave about the good food I knew it would be good.

Easily some of the best bread I have ever had!

So lets get straight to the food, for appetizers we ordered Okra Fries & Jalapeno Corn Beer Quick Bread. The Okra Fries were better then expected and the Jalapeno Bread was amazing, I regret not ordering more to take home!

This is definitely worth trying, even if you don’t like okra.

Shame on me for not getting photos of our beverages, the beer is brewed in house and was very good.

For our main course we decided on the Ulele Burger for my fiancé and the Waterworks Meatloaf for me.

The burger was perfect, big and juicy!

Sitting on the second floor we could actually watch as our food was being prepared, definitely a unique experience.

I was expecting the meatloaf to be better, it tasted a bit dry. The mashed potatoes were nicely seasoned and the crispy onions added nice layer of texture.

Whenever we go out a to a new restaurant we always order a specialty dessert, and we were definitely going to continue that trend by ordering the Candied Duck Bacon Maple Fried Ice Cream!

This dessert was amazing, it had crispy bits of bacon throughout the ice cream!

All the portions were a good size, we ended up taking some food home. (Obviously we devoured the ice cream :D) Our server was very friendly and was always there when we needed something. The total cost for 2 appetizers, 2 lunch meals, 1 dessert and 3 draft beers was just under $70 before tip. I highly recommend you give Ulele a visit next time you are in the Downtown Tampa/Ybor area!

I was forced to use flash for all the food photos.

This past weekend I went out with some friends to get footage for an upcoming video for “Tampa Bay is Awesome”.

We were out for a good 10 hours all around the Tampa Bay Area, from Downtown Tampa to St. Pete Beach. I would have liked to spend more time taking photos of all the spots but we were mainly out to get video footage with my friends drone. We filmed 2 videos, the first being the making of and the other being the actual promotional video.

Since both videos are still being edited I cant share them but I can share some of my photos. The first photo is a shot of the historic Centro Ybor building which is currently a Muvico theater, I think it came out rather nice even with the sun blowing out the scene. The second photo is a shot of the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg. I have been wanting to capture this scene for a while, I will be making another trip soon to get some better photos of the museum.

The last photo I am sharing is my first attempt at abstract photography, the structure is actually the Skypoint Building in Downtown Tampa.

Leave me a comment and let me know what you think of my work. Thanks for looking and feel free to share!

Last year I got this photo off the Gandy Bridge in Tampa, Florida, I didn’t think much of it at first. After a few months had passed, I went to edit some photos from the set and I realized what I had captured. After sharing this photo on 500px.com, I was contacted by some people who do the marketing for “Church’s Chicken”. Being brand new to the photography scene (about 2-3 months of shooting experience), I had no experience with selling prints so I agreed to allow the use of my photo as long as I was credited for my work. (I figured the exposure was worth more then the price of the photo) Church’s Chicken did share my photo through their social media outlets but I benefited very little due to people not caring about the origin of the photo.

If you understand where I am coming from do me a favor and share this post with your friends and leave me a comment. Thank you guys!

John Chesnut Sr. Park

Decided to make a stop at John Chesnut Sr. Park on the way home from work today. I really liked this scene, the blending of green and yellow, plus reflection in the water was a nice touch. Unfortunately the water wasn’t completely still which created a blurring effect.

This photo is composed of 3 Bracketed Exposure, captured handheld with my Sony A6000 and SEL1018. I look forward to responding to your comments so if you like my work please Comment ✔ Share ✔ Follow ✔

Sunset in R.E. Olds Park

I have been shooting photos with the same kit lens (SEL1650) for almost a year now, it was the lens that came with my Sony Nex-6. The SEL1650 is a great beginner lens but if I was trying to get better quality images I knew I had to upgrade my glass. After researching for months I made up my mind on the SEL1018, it has great reviews but it was tough to justify the $850 price. It went on sale last week for $750, plus I had a 10% coupon so I bought it. I made plans to shoot all day Sunday around the Tampa Bay area but couldn’t resist to get some test shots in the mean time.

The SEL1018 has a sweet spot between 12-16mm & f/8-f/11, this photo was taken with the following settings: ISO100, 12mm, f/8. It composed of 3 exposures captured handheld. I took about 40-50 photos last night but I can already see a huge improvement in the clarity & color accuracy compared to the SEL1660.

“Jetty Sunset” Honeymoon Island State Park

My TBT (Throwback Thursday) for this week is another photo from 2014 taken on Honeymoon Island in Dunedin, Florida. This time around I was looking for a new spot, after driving around the park for 20 minutes I decided to park in a different lot and stumbled upon this jetty.

This photo is composed of 3 Bracketed Exposure, captured handheld with my Sony Nex-6 and SELP1650.

My fiancée recently got a new job in Downtown St. Petersburg and she is constantly telling me about all the cool “Art” on the buildings. We finally made it out there this past weekend, I got some cool photos but I plan on going back sometime in the near future to get more!

The photo I am sharing with you is composed of 3 bracketed photos, shot handheld with my Sony A6000 & SEL30M35 lens.

With the sunset getting later each day I am finally able to start shooting sunsets again due to my work schedule. I left work and decided to head towards Clearwater Beach, I have yet to get a nice photo of Pier 60. I figured with the Gasparilla parade going on parking wouldn’t be an issue. I was wrong, the main parking lot was full…again…Its always full…

I had 20 minutes left to get to a spot,  setup & shoot. I ended up at Sand Key Park, since there was no other option. After paying $5 to park I started looking to find a good angle of the sunset. The sun was setting directly in the middle of the beach, which was bad for me because I had planned to shoot near the jetty. I walked back to the entrance and just watched the sunset, thinking “what a waste of time this was”. I was wrong again, only this time it was to my advantage. I was at the right place at the right time.

What do you guys think? Leave me a comment, I would love to read your feedback. If you like my work please do me a favor and share with your friends! Thanks!
