Going back through some earlier photos from this year that were never posted. We sure had a great time in Pittsburgh!

HWW!! :))

Pittsburgh from the West End Overlook. (11/25/2019)

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

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.

Happy Tree-mendous Thursday

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.

HFF at Point Park...:))

My son Kevin and his fiancé...:))

Long exposure in the pouring rain of condos on Herrs Island. City of Pittsburgh behind.

Not HDR. Not cropped.

Pittsburgh. Single image.

A forgettable location made riveting, to me, by the light and the color contrast.

He didn't get the memo...HBM!! :))

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.
