Florida – Greg Urbano

Sand and Haze

Heading off to the beach during the day was not my ideal shooting conditions, usually way to bright to shoot the style of photography i like. But a sand sculpture display (Sanding Ovations) on Treasure Island had me packing up my camera to see what I could get.

We went pretty early in the morning, to avoid the crowds, and were met by a thick morning fog. This wasnt as unusal as you you think, but it ended up producing conditions that i beleive led to some pretty cool picutres, this being one of them.

It at the time reminded me of photos I saw coming out of the Burning Man event held in the desert.

Plus we got to see some cool sand sculptures that morning!

The Golden Threshold

Throwback Photo 2014, Passagrille Jetty Silhouette

Passagrille is one of the places on the gulf coast of Florida that epitomizes everything you have probably heard about the sunshine state. Primarily observing brilliant sunsets, and one of the best places in my opinion on Passagrille Beach to do that is at the rock jetty. Here is one of my early captures of a lone fisherman at sunset that forever after provided motivation to return for these spectacular scenes over and over again.

The Pier Performer

Visitng Fort De Soto was one of my favorite things to do while living in the Gulf coast of florida.

Form sunsets to sunny days, whether or not you got a keeper was irrelavent as you were at the beach right?

There are two piers, the gulf and the bay, this is a photo captures one sunny day of a snowy egret pearch on a concrete pillar, with the bait shop / snack bar in the background, two tourist making the same observation I was, admiring this white plumed beauty of a bird!
