USA Tampa Skyline (from Tampa General Hospital)
The main photo is a shot of Tampa's downtown skyline taken from Tampa General Hospital's northern promenade. This spot is the northern most tip of Davis Island, residing in Tampa's Hillsborough Bay.
A couple spots exist on Locationscout very near this spot. So I was conflicted whether to create a new spot. However, I feel it is necessary to be at the most northern point of the promenade to obtain this view. Therefore, I created a spot with the correct coordinates.

Photography Tips
The best photos of the city from this spot will be taken at sunset or at night. A tripod will be necessary.
Also, you may want to consider a neutral density filter to reduce the light and decrease the shutter speed which helps obtain those awesome blurry / streaky skies.
The details of the photo are described below:
Camera: Sony Alpha A7 III
Lens: Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 Art
Shutter Speed: 30 sec.
Aperture: f/7.1
ISO: 100
Focal Length: 33.7mm full frame (approximately 22.5mm APS-C)
The lights on the bridge are constantly changing color which results in some really cool effects. A medium zoom lens is best for this shot, however a wider lens may be useful to capture a more broad shot including the convention center.

Travel Information
This area is super easy to access. Just drive or walk to Tampa General Hospital on Davis Island. If you're driving, a parking garage exists which charges a small fee.
I was staying in downtown Tampa, so it was very easy to walk on the sidewalks / bridges. The area behind the hospital is open to the public.
Simply walk to the furthest point north and setup your shot.
