Airspace Structure; Human Factors; Procedure
I was performing this flight for a photographer and were on our way to our second photo location.  We were instructed by MLB to follow the coast north to our next location.  MLB never handed us off to COF tower so I asked if I could stay with them or if they wanted me to contact COF; they advised me to contact COF.  After contacting COF tower the controller indicated I was already in his airspace.  I apologized.  These airspaces touching each other creates a hazardous situation for pilots.  The controllers won't necessarily help you or hand you off to the neighboring airspace.
Pilot reports of being under flight following and violating another Tower's airspace.
