Birds have been a little slow as of late, so I will be mixing it up on my photostream with some different material over the coming two weeks. Cityscapes, macro, and some other interesting stuff. Birds will be mixed in as well as after all that is my specialty. This is an image of the Philadelphia skyline at dusk looking West toward the city. My location was fairly far away, so this was shot with a 300mm prime on full frame. Next time I visit this locale, I am going to use my 500mm for a tighter look. Please view large for the best view of Philadelphia at Dusk.
Enjoy the day~!
On a beautiful Spring evening, shortly after the sun set, the Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge stands out against the soft colors of the twilight sky.

Morris Island Light is a lighthouse on Morris Island in South Carolina. The light stands on the southern side of the entrance to Charleston Harbor, north of the City of Folly Beach.[2][3] The lighthouse was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.[1]
Although the lighthouse now stands several hundred feet offshore, it was originally inside a much larger island. When constructed in 1876, the light was approximately 1,200 feet (370 m) from the water's edge. However, the construction in 1889 of the jetties which protect the shipping lanes leading to Charleston Harbor altered ocean currents, resulting in the rapid erosion of Morris Island and the destruction of many structures and historical sites (such as Fort Wagner). By 1938 the shoreline had reached the lighthouse, forcing its automation as it was no longer safe or practical to keep it manned. In 1962 the Morris Island Light was decommissioned and replaced by the new Charleston Light, located on Sullivan's Island at the north end of the harbor. ~ Wikipedia

This shot taken about 15 minutes after the accompanying golden-hour photo and with a much slower shutter speed to capture light streaks from passing automobiles. Would have liked to have had the red tail lights paralleling the white headlights. Alas, at this point of the bridge, the east and west bound lanes run at different angles. More info about the Ravenel Bridge provided with the golden-hour (iPhoto) image.
The Ravenel Bridge has become one of Charleston's most iconic landmarks. Completed in 2005, it spans the Cooper River and connects the city with city of Mount Pleasant on the opposite shore. Its deck rests almost 200 feet above the water, and its trademark twin diamond towers rise to nearly 600 feet. It’s the third longest “cable-stayed” bridge in the Western Hemisphere. That’s a design that features towers with cables running directly to the bridge deck in a fan-like pattern. That’s different from the more common “suspension" bridge design in which cables run vertically to the deck from an over-hanging main cable.
This shot taken with iPhone 15 Pro from the Mount Pleasant side. Compare to accompanying blue-hour photo taken with OM-1.
The back deck of the South Carolina Aquarium in Charleston offers a panoramic view of the Cooper River. Reflections from the Ravenel Bridge and other night lights painted the water with beams of color. On the far bank, cranes at a shipping terminal work to unload a newly arrived freighter.

The Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge is a cable-stayed bridge over the Cooper River in South Carolina, connecting downtown Charleston to Mount Pleasant. The eight lane bridge satisfied the capacity of U.S. Route 17 when it opened in 2005 to replace two obsolete cantilever truss bridges. The bridge has a main span of 1,546 feet (471 m), the third longest among cable-stayed bridges in the Western Hemisphere. It was built using the design-build method and was designed by Parsons Brinckerhoff.
Carnival Sunrise gained media attention in 2013 when an engine room fire stranded her at sea for several days with a loss of power that crippled not only her propulsion, but also support systems.
Fort Sumter is a sea fort located at the entrance to Charleston Harbor built in 1811 in Charleston South Carolina. Along with Fort Moultrie it played key roles in the American Revolution and Civil War. Charleston, founded in 1670 is the oldest and largest city in South Carolina. Print Size 13x19 inches.
The brightly lit diamond shaped towers and the sparkles of the lights on the Arthur Ravenel Jr Bridge reflect on the Cooper River. This is a landmark of Charleston SC and a significant engineering feat in its own right (see en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Ravenel_Jr._Bridge ). It also makes for a great photographic subject. I was hoping for a dramatic sunset but that didn't occur so I waited for blue hour to bring out the lights and reflection on the river. I particularly liked the faint hint of white light beams rising up to the sky from the top of the towers.
Taken during a recent visit to Charleston where I always enjoy going - a great area with fantastic cuisine, wonderful beaches and islands, and an almost endless batch of interesting photographic subjects. I am already looking forward to my next visit to get the things I missed this time around.
