A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to join a group of photographers on an outing sponsored by a local camera store and the Tamron lens company. We went to Fort DeSoto State Park in St. Petersburg before sunrise to take some photos of the Sunshine Skyway bridge. Last year, the bridge was updated with new lighting, and it is beautiful. Unfortunately, clouds spoiled the sunrise, but the bridge was stunning anyway.
The bridge crosses Tampa Bay on interstate 275 right before the bay flows into the Gulf of Mexico. The bridge is over 4 miles long and is tall enough to allow cruise ships and huge cargo ships to pass underneath.
