Ball Point Park--Jacksonville

 

 

Welcome to my blog, so honored to have you here. I’m so excited about this new blog and to show you all of my latest shoots. I’m a new photographer, and I am always looking for new tips. If you have a
tip for me, leave it in the comments
below. I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.

 

Today, I get to share with you about my trip to Ball Point Park in Jacksonville on the Westside of town. It’s one of those places that few know about, or at least that I didn’t know about until a dear friend shared it with me. So of course, I had to go investigate. It is a great place to go for a stroll, and a great place to see the city skyline. I have not been able to go back and get sunset shots yet, but it’s on my list of things to do, because I can only imagine the type of shots it can make.

 

There is a step place in front of the edging of the river that hosts a spot for you to stand and look across the river at. I use my 15-200mm lens, and I use a Nikon D3200 for all of my shots at this spot. I usually try to change between the ISO settings and Aperture settings for the most part.

 

I like to experiment with different settings to get the different fills of what my camera can do. Since, I’m still learning! I will post a few of those shots here for you to see them in different angels. I hope that you will enjoy my first post on this site, and please watch for more. Thanks.

 

 

 

 

 



 

 



 

The great thing about this part is that on the other side of the street is another park. It is convenient to the Stinson Park, which is right around the corner from a marina boat station. So there are many times of views from this location, which makes it a nice outing with kids, or for ourselves.

While I was there the last time, there were many different boats out on the water. Here is some of what I captures on that day! Enjoy:

 



 

 

 

 

 



 Also, when you are sitting at the boat ramp, you can look across the water and see some of the most gorgeous homes--homes one can only dream of. They are beautiful to look at across the river. Take a look for yourself here:

 

 

 

I'd say this is a great place to not only walk your dog, but a great place for kids that love a good swing set or monkey bars to enjoy. So which photo is your favorite?
