Slow Pittsburgh Night

I’m sorry…..another short post today….straight to the photo.  I took this last summer well after dark on a night the city was dead….as you can tell since there were no cars on the street except for a couple.  So, there you go!!

Andy Warhol Bridge

What should I share with you tonight???  Honestly, I’m probably not in a good frame of mind to share much without sounding negative.  Therefore, I’ll just leave you with this nice photo of the Pittsburgh skyline with the Andy Warhol Bridge in the foreground.  That’s it.  I’m out!!

6th Street

Have a great weekend.  I had all kinds of ideas about what I could and should do….  And I’m not doing any of them.  So, what did I do?  I ran a 5K fun run today to raise money and awareness for TRPIL, but otherwise I’ve got lazy and didn’t do much.

I took this photo few weeks ago at dusk in downtown Pittsburgh.  I think Pittsburgh is a beautiful city with amazing views.  This is one of many such spots.  If you’re not familiar with Pittsburgh, this is the 6th Street Bridge in the foreground and the downtown area of the city behind it.

PPG Christmas Tree

I got up way to early today (430am) to go into downtown Pittsburgh to meet up with @bradtruxell and @dtruxell .  We were on a mission to capture some Christmas themed photos before they disappear for the season and without tons of tourist in the way.  We accomplished the mission…..

I took this photo at PPG Place.  Every year they turn this courtyard into an ice-skating rink and put a giant holiday tree in the middle.  About the only person we ran into was a security guard who was on us in about 30 seconds.  He was nice, just watching us closely.

Pittsburgh's West End Lights

Tonight, I present you a HDR panorama picture of Pittsburgh taken from the West End Overlook where the three rivers come together.  You can see the West End Bridge, Rivers Casino, and Heinz Field (this is where the Steelers and the University of Pittsburgh Panthers play football) along the river on the left.  Of course, you can also see The Point with the downtown behind it.  On the right, you can see Station Square and Mt. Washington.   

I posted a similar picture in a previous blog post that you can see HERE.

This was taken about 30 minutes after the sunset with a long exposure to capture all the traffic lights streaking around the streets.  This is a 5-bracket set (+2, +1, 0, -1, -2) merged in Photomatix Pro and edited in Photoshop CS6.
