Here is another drone photo of downtown Pittsburgh. During games this is a “no fly zone” so getting this slightly before, during and slightly after a game is difficult without special approval. But I think the photo is more interesting when the stadium is empty.
PNC Park From Above
Here is a photo I took in late 2019 of downtown Pittsburgh. You can see the baseball stadium (PNC Park), Allegheny River, the three sister bridges (one being renovated), the Lawrence Convention Center and most of downtown.
Game Night
Short post tonight….. I took this photo a few weeks ago in downtown Pittsburgh while the Pirates were playing the Athletics. It seems like everyone takes photos of these bridges aimed the opposite direction (back towards the city). I don’t see many aimed toward the stadium….. So here goes.

Iconic Pittsburgh
You know, it occurred to me tonight, that I haven’t posted a Pittsburgh photo in a long time. I’ve been so busy sharing photos of South Africa and football pics, that I’ve deprived you of this great city. So tonight you get a photo of an iconic Pittsburgh object….. One of their great bridges….with PNC Park and Heinz Field in the back ground.

Pittsburgh Beauty and Grime
Last night, Brad, Blair and I made a quick run downtown to photography the North Shore of Pittsburgh from this unique spot. It is so rare to fine an abandoned building in this prime real estate spot. Regardless, the photo op from this spot is very cool.
10 Saints Beer
Tonight I have something different for you. When we were in Barbados, we found this fairly new beer that is made on the island. It was first brewed in 2009 by 10 Saints Brewery Company. The beer is unique because it is aged for 90 days in Mount Gay ‘Special Reserve’ Rum casks. By the way, Mount Gay Rum is made in Barbados as well. This gave the beer a very smooth taste and made it our beer of choice all week. It is named 10 Saints because of the 10 Parishes (like counties in the United States) in Barbados are named after saints.
Anyway, I did an impromptu product photo shoot towards the end of the week. I cleared an area of the beach near our hotel, with the ocean and sailboats in the background. I took two bottles and let them sweat a little in the Caribbean sun. Then I laid on my stomach to get the camera as low as possible for this shot. And I attempted to bounce the sunlight back at the bottles.

NEWS:
Recently I was contacted by a research doctor at the University of Pittsburgh about using one of my photos for an upcoming conference. We negotiated a little and came to an agreement. So now my photo of PNC Park is being used for the annual Pheno 2015 conference poster. The conference gathers international physicists working on the phenomenology of elementary particles, cosmology, and astrophysics. Don’t ask me what any of that means….. The cool thing about this is the poster will be mailed and electronically sent to potential attendees around the world. You can see the poster below.
Pittsburgh From PNC Park
Last summer two old friends (Rodney and John) came down to visit for a few days. While they were here, we went to watch the Detroit Tigers play the Pittsburgh Pirates at PNC Park. This was the view from our seats looking out at the city.
Special Note: NikonRumors.com featured an article I wrote about Detroit Urbex photography. You can see the article here.

Justin Verlander
Well, I think the Tigers season is done after the last two games. So I thought I’d share my Justin Verlander picture before they head into the post-season. I took this picture of Justin in August when the Tigers were in Pittsburgh.

Daisuke Matsuzaka
I have something a little different for you tonight. Here is a picture of New York Mets’ pitcher during his full pitching motion. I took this last Thursday night when the Mets were in Pittsburgh playing the Pirates.
I like how you can see the baseball in three spots during his motion if you look closely.

Pittsburgh's Point At Night
In my previous post, I shared a Day To Night photo where I merged photos from before and after a sunset. Today I am sharing the after sunset photo with you as I originally processed it.
I hope you have a great weekend.
