I couldn't find any such thread for the life of me, what with the search being down, so here's one.

And a pic to get it started... As you can tell, I haven't figured this new camera's settings out just quite yet. Blurry again!

HARTride 2012 · October 3rd, 2007, 02:43 PM

I don't blame you Jason. My dad bought a camera recently and he ended up taking video instead of a still photo. The problem with a lot of digital cameras is that they have so many controls and such that its hard to figure out what everything does initially. My camera is not so bad, but I have a problem of steadying the camera when I take my pictures.

The photo of I-375/St Pete isn't bad. Its a little blurry yes, but not bad. It would probably be better if it was a sunny day as opposed to a stormy day. Just to point out, you can clearly see the lovely deck work that FDOT did on the bridge after that tanker fire.

The ISO was really high in the shot, one of the reasons it appears blurry/grainy.

Robert.Maddrey · October 3rd, 2007, 04:05 PM

Some older shots from Howard Park in Tarpon Springs.

I think image compression didn't help. I thought I was shooting a tiff when I took it, but when I downloaded, they were jpegs using a fairly high compression.

JBrisco · October 3rd, 2007, 08:09 PM

Nice pick Jason, although I thought St. Pete was the city of sunshine

All jokes aside, it is an incredible picture, I don't think its that blurry but thats because I'm on a laptop so my images don't appear as they should.
I very much enjoy the shot from the interstate, its awesome.

Robert.Maddrey · October 3rd, 2007, 09:57 PM

I cleaned it up a little and made some level/exposure adjustments.

Hannibal · October 4th, 2007, 02:19 AM

That's a nice picture and one of my favorite views driving into St. Pete. Although the second cleaned up pic "looks" better, the first is actually a more accurate color and contrast of a stormy evening with the sunset behind. I'm kinda anxious for the St. Pete Times to come out with an updated pic and future skyline like they've done the past couple of years.

Jasonhouse · October 4th, 2007, 05:13 AM

^Yeah, that pic is clearer, but it took out the eerie yellowy glow... If anything, the picture needs the blue taken down a few percent to more accurately portray what I saw with my eye.

the skyline is certainly more impressive than it was a decade ago, and it'll certainly be even more impressive in about 2-3 years, when the current wave is put up.

Another quick pic from the same location the other day.

Great pic. It shows the surroundings real well.

I still have to laugh at the patchwork on the bridge

but I know it was done in a very timely manner after what happened.

I have a pic at home of the bridge still under repair. I'll post it tomorrow.

FloridaFuture · November 20th, 2007, 12:41 AM

Here's a dark one I'll throw in...

There's a sliver of 400 Beach behind Parkshore Plaza.
400 Beach looks much better then the rather ugly Parkshore Plaza IMO.

Hisma · November 20th, 2007, 02:39 PM

some street-level photos would be nice!

Those are some nice pics, makes St.Pete look very urban.

HARTride 2012 · November 24th, 2007, 01:35 PM

Agreed. Cool pics.

jvance75 · November 24th, 2007, 08:50 PM

this looks like a usual day in downtown...I would say Downtown St. Petersburg has the most "urban" feel to it because of the number of permanent people that live, work, and spend a lot of their entertainment dollars in downtown too. I see most of the same people on a daily basis when shopping/running errands and working downtown, I even have some of the shop owners around the core that live in my condo building that will come by with food or what not. It definitely gives you the feeling you know the city much more so than just having a property in one of its zip codes. This is the only city in Florida I have lived in where I get free food from neighbors that own or work at a restaurant downtown and spark a conversation without the need to be trashed...every other city/district is usually a trashed person that spews out what they own and how much it costs for them to maintain their image, SOHO being just about the worst
