Another View of the City

I really liked this view and it was not a stitched image, just one view with some adjustments made in Lightroom. Its my birthday so I'm doing this image just to have something uploaded for the day :)

City of Champions

On June 2nd I decided to drive to Pittsburgh and get some photos from Mt Washington. Since the Pens were playing that night for the Stanley Cup at Mellon Arena, I figured the city would be lit up pretty well. As it turned out the Pirates were also playing at home so PNC was also lit up, the only thing missing was some lights at Heinz Field. The photo I have here is a panorama I made in Photoshop with 4 images taken that night and merged together. It was pretty windy and I have a cheap tripod so the pic isn't as sharp as I would have liked it. I used my Nikon 14-24 f2.8 lens on the Canon 1DsMKIII camera body. The original image is 12 inches high by 50 inches long when printed, however this images is a much scaled down version.

Pittsburgh

This image is one of a series I've done on the City of Pittsburgh. Taken from Mt Washington.


Last evening was spent in Pittsburgh at David A. Ziser's Digital Wakeup Call wedding photography workshop. It was an evening well spent with lots of great ideas and David's instructions on getting the excitement into the lighting of wedding photography. The workshop was a fast paced informational class with a good follow along handbook which has room for taking any additional notes that might be useful. Lots of door prizes donated by sponsors were handed out which always go over well.
