David's Images of the Day Photoblog
St Petersburg Pier from a Vinoy Hotel Balcony. Image taken with a Nikon D3x camera and 200 mm f/2 lens (ISO 100, 200 mm, f/11, 10 sec). Christmas Night 2008. I know that they are talking about taking the building down, but the lights were always great. I wonder if anyone has pictures from when there were several colored lasers shooting from the building all the way to St. Petersburg Beach and reflecting back.
Top Gun Protecting His Mate and Nest. Osprey Aerial Battle. Fort De Soto County Park in St Petersburg, Florida. Image taken with a Nikon D700 camera and 28-300 mm VR lens (ISO 200, 300 mm, f/5.6, 1/1000 sec).
Turkey Vulture sunning on a post at Fort De Soto County Park in St. Petersburg, Florida. Image taken with a Nikon D300 camera and 200 mm f/2 lens and TCE II 2.0 teleconverter (ISO 280, 400 mm, f/11, 1/500 sec).

Last year I learned that a male Osprey will catch as large a fish that it can and then fly around like this to impress the females.
