About the Image(s)
Last year when Hurricane Milton blew through St Petersburg FL, it tore the roof off Tropicana Field, "The Trop". The stadium is the home field for the Tampa Bay Rays, a major league baseball team. The team is now using Steinbrenner Stadium in Tampa and should return to the Trop in 2026.
The stadium is in CLASS D airspace and approval was granted by using the AutoPylot app. The image was captured at 285 ft, Sunday 04MAY25.

"A" for interest. I hope they get it fixed soon.
Nice job on the post
Since you could have been 115 feet higher I would have done that so your subject is no so tight against the frame of the image. Posted: 05/05/2025 23:50:59

Hi Richard, very cool image. I like the abstract nature of the image and the vivid colors. I think that the angle and composition are handled well, I agree with Pete that the subject does seem a little crowded. Well done. Posted: 05/11/2025 15:39:07
