Miami Heat House

Miami Heat House

On a weekend staycation to Miami, staying downtown on the riverfront I took the obligatory night walk with my camera on a tripod.

As I was walking back accross the Port Road Bridge toward downtown the arean where the Miami Heat call home presented itself in what I think is a pretty photogenic way.

I set up my tripod and grabbed some shots. Inside my head I was thinking that shots from the front were going to turn out better, the wide angle architecture shots.

But over time I have settled on this one as my represntation.

Red Freedom Tower

Freedom Tower

On a weekend staycation in Miami I was able to walk around the downtown riverfront area. One of the things that caught my attention was this tall, older building illuminated in red light. up untill this point i was not aware of any history or meaning, just that it looked pretty cool, and a perfect opportunity to set my camera up on its tripod and take a long exposure.

I found out later it was the original headquarters for the Miami news and then later as a Cuban refugee center, nicknamed the Ellis Island of the South.

Being a second generation descendant of Polish/Italian immigrants via Ellis Island myself, I thought that was pretty cool.

Dali Museum at Night

Dali Museum at Night

Here is a photograph of the Dali Museum at night. It is located on the waterfront in downtown St Pete. This was not my first attempt at a night photograph of this located, but it is my best.

The benefit of living in downtown St Pete afforded me the opportunity to revisit places like this over and over again to practice and improve.

Also having great places like this cool architecture to practice on is great too!

I missed living in such a target rich area like St Pete/ Tampa.
