Lightcycle Race
Tampa is a fun city and it really lights up at night! This photograph reminds me of the lightcycle races in Tron. Here's to Saturday nights!
This photograph was captured with a DJI Phantom 3 Professional drone.
Tampa by Night
Tampa is a beautiful city and it really photographs well at night! Seems an appropriate photo for a Saturday!
This photograph was edited in Adobe Lightroom.
Awake in Tampa
I took over 2,000 photographs last week all over Florida. I've already thrown away 75% of them but I'm hoping by the time I've posted them all, I'll have some sort of sponsorship from the Florida Tourism Council — or at least a skeleton key to the Magic Kingdom!
I've been to Tampa well over a dozen times throughout the years but our friends just moved to a great neighborhood downtown so this was the first trip I've ever actually ventured out downtown after dark. It's a really stunning city and a lot of fun!

Blade Runner
This is what happens when you're shooting long-exposure night shots from your drone and hit the shutter on the way home. As I was editing this photo, I could hear the late, great Bob Ross in my head:
“We don’t make mistakes, just happy little accidents.”
I love the way this happy little accident turned the west side of Charlotte into a scene from Blade Runner. If this technique goes viral in the drone groups, I'm totally taking credit for it. After all, the whole "spinning steel wool" thing is way beyond played out at this point, right?

Night Op
We stayed at a tremendous beach house out at Figure Eight Island. Because it was the off-season, it seemed like we were the only ones on the island. After the sun went down, I took a quick flight for some night photographs of our house all lit up. There are probably six or seven houses in this photograph but with little light pollution, no moon and few other lights on across the island, all you see is our place. Everybody else is in the kitchen about to eat so that lone figure on the desk is yours truly. This is one of the unique selfies I've every taken... chiefly because I wasn't even thinking about how much I would stand out when I took it.

Night in the Queen City
My office in Third Ward has one of the best views of the city. It only gets better a couple hundred feet up. I was working late and noticed a purple glow emanating from the city like a science fiction movie. I took a quick break from my commute home to send the drone up for a couple of shots. Stay tuned for more shots from this night in the future!
