Sunset and Thunderstorm - Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
A thunderstorm moved through the area tonight. From downtown the clouds were really wonderful with the sunset yellow and oranges and on the other side of the thunderclouds, a deep blue. Add in the Incline and the Gateway Clipper and the Point Fountain and I think this is just about the perfect photo of downtown.
Roberto Clemente Bridge near Sunset - Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
With the baseball game just underway, the Roberto Clemente Bridge was still closed to traffic. I've always wanted to get this shot.

Duquesne University in Late Summer- Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
I haven't had a chance to do too much on the campus of Duquesne University and that's a shame because I think there are some really neat views of both the city and the campus itself.

Pirates Win in the 9th.
The end of the game was fantastic. They came back to win it in the bottom of the 9th against the Reds. Also, it was a fireworks night and that is always fun.

The Experiment: Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
I debated if I should even post this one. This is a complete experiment and i'm not sure how well it worked. I'll let yinz tell me.
A full moon is incredibly bright compared to everything else at night (or deep into dusk). So in order to get both the details of the buildings as well as the details of the moon, I had to get really creative on how I did the exposures. This was done with four images taken a fractions of a second apart (otherwise the moon would have drifted and caused real problems) and ... and I'm not sure I like it.moonPPG PlacePPGKDKAsatellite dishgateway centerPittsburghdowntowngolden triangle

The Court, The Bank, and the Corporation - Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
I absolutely love the foreshortening effect that can be accomplished with the long telephoto lens.
There is a lot one could say about this image and what it means. The court building made of stone on the left. The Bank and it's smooth exterior made of concrete and glass and behind it all is the imposing structure of steel of the (depending on how long you've been in Pittsburgh) of US Steel or UPMC.CourtAlleghenyBNY MellonUS SteelUPMCArchitectureCitySkyscraperstructureorangestoneglassconcrete

Late Spring at Dusk - Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
The sunset was not great, but reasonable and I was running late. Too late, in fact, to get the best of the actual sunset. With the sun just below the horizon I oped to hit this location again to get early dusk. The colors were wonderful. The "Belt of Venus" was clearly visable as a dark band on the horizon opposite the sunset. The colors of the buildings and the green of the trees really made for a fantastic view.

Pittsburgh Dusk with Slow Moving Clouds
The sunset was a total bust but the clouds were quite dynamic albeit very slow moving. This is a 6 minute long exposure that captures the motion that is typically not seen in landscapes. Most people think of landscapes and still life images where everything is static. The river entirely blurs out. The trees and the clouds move in contrast to the perfectly (or nearly perfectly) static structures.

Looking Down Fifth Ave - Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
It was about a year ago I took my first photo looking down Fifth Ave towards the Highmark Building. This time, the Highmark building was lit up for Pride - it posed an interesting challenge to photograph as the colors are constantly changing which would cause the colors to blur together to make a pinky-purple smear.

The Moon and the PPG Building
I am always astonished how difficult these images are to create. The moon is SO BRIGHT and everything else is SO dark. After a bit of messing around I was able to get this.
Stanwix Street at PPG Place - Pittsburgh Pennsylvania
Normally when I go downtown it's almost desolate. Sometimes it's due to the time of day, other times it's due to the extremely low temperatures that I find myself photographing in. Sometimes it's a combination of late night or very early morning and very cold. And then there's the Art Fair. Honestly, I'm not use to photographing when there are people around. Or busses.

Pittsburgh at Film Noir - the smoke of the aftermath of the fireworks lit by the stadium really made for dramatic lighting behind the Highmark Building.
