Both of these taken Sunday morning. I was there to shoot my "classic black and gold" photos, but ended up seeing a pretty awesome sunrise, too.
In this version, the sky has formed some colors but isn't yet bright enough to wash out the city lights. The city lights are still very vibrant and reflect brightly against the dark river. The clouds frame the buildings perfectly.
Final photo to follow later today...
3-photo HDR. Zoom in for a better view.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania's Mount Washington offers spectacular views of the city's downtown area and its surroundings.
I think I'd prefer the wall without the text. It's quite a marvel on its own merits. That said, the text certainly grounds the image in time. The politics of the writer remain obscure. You can tell there was another word written above, that has been painted out. It is just enough room for a 4-letter word, but that could have been the word "vote." But in that case, the person who painted over that word could have gone ahead and painted over both of them. So maybe the original grafitti was anti and the person painting over it pro.
It was nice to see the blooming flowers in Pittsburgh, while we don't have it here in Toronto!
The background is one of the many signature yellow bridges in Pittsburgh.
My third attempt at sunset from the Crawford-Roberts District of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
100-photo multi-row HDR panorama.
Don't forget to zoom in, this is an incredibly detailed pano. (Or view in even higher detail on my pano viewer.)
Got this shot while on Liberty Bridge (I think, not too sure). It gave me a good view of the city at sunset. Used LE to get a blue hour shot on this one.
Long exposure in the pouring rain of condos on Herrs Island. City of Pittsburgh behind.
Not HDR. Not cropped.
I love looking at this image, which depicts an asphalt parking lot adjoining an alley surrounded by three walls of contrasting characteristics, partly in shadow. It could be almost anywhere, or nowhere; it happens to be in Pittsburgh PA, in a neighborhood I frequently photograph, known as the Strip District. It is astonishing to me when an interesting photograph emerges from nearly nothing at all; that some part of my brain knows when to raise the camera and how to place the frame precisely where that transformation materializes; and that while in this way elevated into the realm of the aesthetic, it remains a picture of an asphalt parking lot adjoining an alley surrounded by three walls of contrasting characteristics, partly in shadow.
A little alley behind what used to be Babyland, on the corner of Negley and Penn. I was drawn in by the light, texture, lines, decay, color contrasts, and form. Another view of earlier post flic.kr/p/HeLAL7.
