Burgh’s Smithfield Bridge

It’s been a while since I did a photo walk in downtown Pittsburgh.  This photo is from just before the pandemic.  It is weird how time seems to have changed speed during COVID.  Some things appear to be going faster and some slower.  The pandemic has negatively impacted my photography opportunities. 

 

Regardless, I always liked this photo with the city bus passing by as I took the exposure.

Fun In The City

Apparently, I’m not a very clever individual.  I struggle more times then I’d like to admit coming up with things to say when I type up these blog posts.  Maybe it is because I work on them after long hours at work…or maybe I’m just not very clever. 

Therefore, you get boring posts…..  I don’t really have anything clever to say tonight either.  I took this photo on the Smithfield Bridge in Pittsburgh.  If you haven’t seen it, I believe it is the most underrated bridge in and around the city.

Speeding Across Smithfield

I took this photo about a year ago, but just processed (edited) it today.  Using my normal process, (total random selection about what photo I process next) I came across this beauty this morning.  I had a rare event happen.  I had a few hours with nothing to do so I processed a large batch of photos.  I normally do few per day, but don’t often get a large amount of time to dedicate towards it.  It was raining outside, housework was done, and we didn’t have anywhere to go so it became photo editing time.

About this photo:  Blair, Dave and I went for a photo walk in early 2018 around the Smithfield Bridge in Pittsburgh.  We met up after work to capture some photos, grab dinner, and take more photos at sunset.  I captured this one as a number of cars and a bus zoomed passed me.  Pittsburgh has some interesting and beautiful bridges.  The Smithfield Bridge is high on the list of wonderful spots.

Smithfield Again

I’ve posted numerous photos of this bridge in the past and I can’t get enough of it.  This historic architectural wonder has been used since 1883.  I took this photo a few months ago and I doubt many people have this perspective.  I hope you like it.

Smithfield Bridge Again

Back on May 1st I posted a photo of this bridge that I took during the blue hour with a car streaking through the photo.  This photo was taken the same night, just a few hours earlier using my drone.  I positioned the drone above and just to the side of the bridge, which is an angle I can’t get unless I use a drone.  I’m not sure what it is about this bridge, but it’s one of my favorite in Pittsburgh.

Smithfield Bridge

Last night Blair, Dave and I ran into Pittsburgh to capture some photos.  Normally I would get out a couple of times per month.  But lately, I haven’t been able to get away…plus the weather has been terrible.  So we finally got out and I captured this beauty at the legendary Smithfield Bridge in downtown.

Smithfield United Church of Christ

Here is an oldie.  I took this picture a few years ago, but never posted it for you.  I don’t know why, because I really like it.  It just kept falling to the bottom of the list.  Anyway, I am sorry for the delay, but now you have it.  This is the Smithfield United Church of Christ in downtown Pittsburgh.  What’s cool about this is that the church is on the 2nd floor of the facility.  Once you get up there, you enter this wonderful hidden treasure.
