The Liberty Bridge’s name in Hungarian is called (Szabadság hid). They call it Liberty Bridge or Freedom Bridge in English. This bridge spans the Danube River connecting Buda and Pest. It was the first bridge rebuilt after World War II in 1945. The original construction started in 1894 and ended in 1896. It is a beautiful truss bridge in a beautiful city.

I didn’t know how to describe this photo. I took it in Mexico at our resort pool just prior to sunrise. When I look at this photo, the colors Purple, Yellow, and Green jump out to me. Even more so, than the objects in the image….. Probably just me.

I took this photo in August while MJ and I were in Washington DC visiting friends. We stayed at a hotel a few blocks from the White House and I went over at sunset to capture some images. I had a hard time capturing any without the protesters who were in front. So I had to get creative with my composition.

When MJ and I were traveling through the country of Montenegro, we were taken to this small village called Njeguši up in the mountains. We stopped here for a couple of hours to get lunch, use the restroom and explore this tiny village. When I say tiny, I mean really tiny. Maybe 30 people lived here. Anyway, I was taking photos an old home in town and I just fell in love with these green doors that were part of the structure.
In case you didn’t know, Montenegro is a small country between Croatia, Bosnia, Serbia, Kosovo, and Tirana on Adriatic Sea. Beautiful country with tons of mountains….

It’s time for an NFL photo. So, I present to you this photo I took of Randall Cobb ( @rcobb18 ) last season. I’m not a Packers fan, but it was fun to photograph them from the sideline and see this fine organization up close.

I took this photo of the green on Red #3 a few weeks ago before it was taken out. The Valley Brook Country Club is removing it to add more parking. They requested a few photos of this spot and a couple of holes before they are gone. Beautiful spot, don’t you think?

My Current Project
One of the local country clubs has used me over the last few years for capturing photos of their amazing course. They called me again recently to have me photograph a few of their greens before they take them off line as they remodel their course. Here is a seek peek at one photo from this assignment.

I’ve been playing with my macro lens recently in my yard. I haven’t used this lens much over the years and I sort of forgot how narrow the depth of field is with it. Which means that you can’t get the entire flower in focus, unless you use the magic of focus stacking. So that’s what I did. This photo is made from 7 photos focused at different spots and then I blended them together for this complete in focus photo of these flower buds. This Focus Stacking technique creates some amazing detail. Take a look at all the detail on the buds and the plant

This is a holiday weekend in the United States. So regardless of whether you're in the USA or not, I hope you have a great weekend. Today’s post is of a natural flower that I found in the DR. By the way, the white structure in the background is an observation tower.

We did some work in our yard the last few weekends, including yesterday. So today of course, we didn’t work in the yard…. We cleaned the screen porch instead. After cleaning that area and the deck, Blair and I took some macro flower photos around the yard. This was one of the first ones I captured. I have no idea what type of flower this is….. so we’ll just call it Yard Flower

Tonight’s post is a cool looking building down on Isabella Street on the North Shore area of Pittsburgh. I’ve taken this perspective a few different times and I always like it. Just a cool looking building with all the glass, reflections, etc… Have a great weekend.

I took this photo of “The Lake” in Central Park during our last visit to NYC. This specific spot is just to the west of the Bow Bridge and Bethesda Fountain. I had to sit here for what seemed like forever to capture this photo without a bunch of pedestrians on the path. I like the Eldorado towers sticking up over the trees on the left side of the photo as a reminder that this quiet spot is in the heart of Manhattan.

Here is another photo from my photo shoot at the beautiful Valley Brook Country Club. I was honored to be approached by them to photograph their new green, which they’ll open next year. I thought this photo did a good job of capturing this amazing spot.

Tonight’s photo post if from Machu Picchu again. I’ve been working my way through our Peru trip. I’ve been processing lots of photos from this trip. And I have to say, the photos remind me of what a great trip it really was. I know my dad enjoyed it as well. Anyway, here is Machu Picchu again.

I took this photo in Puno Peru late in the afternoon while my dad and I were walking around town. I honestly don’t remember what building this is, but I loved the door.

I will be photographing the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. San Francisco 49ers this weekend at Heinz Field. I’ve had a rough week physically with some minor issues, so I hope I feel better by Sunday. Regardless, I’ll go and have a great time watching two great teams fight it out.
So thinking about the upcoming weekend got me thinking about the last game I shot, which was the Steelers vs. the Packers. So I decided to post a photo from that game. I love this photo and processed it a little different then normal. I converted everything to black and white except of #27 Eddie Lacy and the Steelers defensive player who has him by the Shirt Tail.

Here is another football photo for you today. This is Julius Peppers, the Right Outside Linebacker for the Green Bay Packers. Julius played a number of years in Chicago before he left for Green Bay.
I can’t tell you what it is about this picture that I like, but I just keep coming back to it again and again. So I’m sharing it with you. I hope you like it as much as I do.
NFL Preseason isn’t the most exciting time of year, but it was a treat getting a close look at Aaron Rodgers. It isn’t always worth it going to preseason games. Many times the starters play little, if at all. The teams don’t try hard all of time and they don’t use all of the plays in their playbook. Frankly, these games are a waste of time from a fan and players perspective. But they continue to make the owners a ton of money, since the fans still have to pay full price for a poor product. In fact, season ticket holders are forced to purchase these games if they want their season tickets.
Anyway, I based my decision on whether to photograph the games based on who the visiting team is and whether or not I’ll get a reasonable shot at seeing them in the game. So last weekend, I decided to go see the Steelers vs. Packers. Why? Because the Packers rarely come to Pittsburgh and Aaron was going to play a little in the first quarter. So I photographed the first half, while the starters were playing. I was happy I got a chance to see Aaron. Regardless for how I feel about Green Bay Packers, I respect him as a person and quarterback. Therefore, tonight’s post after a long absence is of #12, THE Aaron Rodgers.
