Ybor City Photos

The photo group I shoot with had an outing in Ybor City. I didn't shoot a ton of photos. I don't know if it's because I've shot there so many times before and only snap shots when I spy something new or because I'm lazy, I don't know.



I did shoot a couple shots similar to ones I've taken before, only this time I was not too lazy to haul my tripod around with me and got better versions with the camera atop the sticks.

I didn't set out to use lines as a theme but I did notice that I was shooting a lot of shots with lines in them. There were also a few self-portraits.

The bird showed up while I was shooting a fountain. Of course, this was after I had ditched my 70-200mm long zoom for a 16-80mm so I was set up right next to the fountain. I was standing fairly still when the bird alighted, managed not to scare the bird off and squeezed a few shots of it as it bathed. My camera was in auto focus and it didn't seem as interested in the bird as I was but it managed to get the first shot I snapped and one later as it rinsed its head.
