Many thanks Largobob!

If you don't mind a bit of a drive north, the Sunshine Skyway Bridge makes a very compelling image at sunset/sunrise. Also try Ft. Desoto park, the city marinas, etc. This area is the connection between Pinellas and Manatee counties.

Mac, many thanks!

Just about any beach, Gulf Coast sunsets can't be beat.
There are usually water craft to include in the pictures and the North Jetty at Casey Key and the pier at Venice Beach can be used as foreground.
Here is one I took at Nokomis Beach.

In March I will be spending several weeks in the Sarasota area. Looking for good spots to capture both sunrise and sunset. Many thanks in advance for your sage suggestions.

Daughter Needs Advice

My adult daughter wants a new camera and has $1000 to spend. Wants a point and shoot with some reach, she is tired of changing lenses on the Canon camera she has and does not use it. Wants to photograph birds but not birds in flight. I know there are Canon cameras with 50X lenses but are there other brands with similar reach? Many thanks!

Hi Dave, thanks so much for researching this. Each of my spare batteries has a case so I think the the TSA will be happy (?) with my carry on.

[qThanks Deanie.uote=Deanie1113]Yes, carry-on for batteries. When I flew a couple weeks ago, I also had to put painters tape on the contact end. You could also buy a battery case to avoid the tape thing. Also check with your airline regs to see if they have a limit of how many batteries you can take. Delta had a limit of two per type, but no one at either airport really checked. (They were upset, though, about my hiking boots!).[/quote]

Lots more info, probably some conflicting, depending on the date.

Have not flown in seven years. Will be flying to Iceland next week. My Fuji "eats" batteries so I have a bunch of them. Q. Do I put extra batteries in my checked luggage or keep them in my camera bag on the plane? Does the TSA have a policy, written or unwritten on this? What do fellow hoggers do? Many thanks!

Just found out I will be going to Iceland with my daughter and her family in two weeks. They are renting a house and doing day trips while I will be roaming with my camera. I have never been to Iceland and am looking for advice on where to shoot, what to wear, anything and everything. Have not been on a plane since I retired in 2010. I assume the rules for carry on are essentially the same. You folks have always been so helpful, I thank you in advance for all and any advice.
