I took this photo last summer on a clear night. You can see the 3rd bridge (Rachel Carson Bridge) is covered for renovation. I loved how this night cityscape photo turned out and really helps make Pittsburgh look great, which it is.

I hope you have a wonderful Sunday. This is of downtown Pittsburgh with the PPG Place building in the foreground and the Pittsburgh Christmas tree at the Point State Park in the background. Of course, the photo also includes the three rivers (Ohio, Allegheny and Monongahela). Anyway, enough of that….again enjoy your weekend.

I hope you’re having a great weekend. We got a little snow in our area yesterday. I took this drone photo a couple of weeks ago from downtown Pittsburgh (pre-snow). Look how high the water is in the rivers…. Right up to the top of the river walk. Anymore and they’ll have flooding in downtown Pittsburgh.

Here is a quick post for you today. Nothing fancy or any deep thoughts (those rarely happen). Just a beautiful photo I took last weekend. This is Point State Park in downtown Pittsburgh.

Like many photos, this one was sitting on my hard drive waiting for its moment to shine. Well, now is the time for this pic. I took this a few months ago on a very cold morning. I was hoping for a great sunrise and didn’t get one. But I got a great photo of the Point State Park while it was underwater.

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?

Last night I went on a photo walk with Brad Truxell, Dave Truxell, and my son Blair. We met on the North Shore of Pittsburgh and had a great time. It was a wonderfully warm (for October) evening with a great “blue hour” for photography. This picture is of the Rachel Carson Bridge.
This bridge is also known as the Ninth Street Bridge. It spans the Allegheny River in downtown Pittsburgh along with two other almost identical bridges (Roberto Clemente Bridge & Andy Warhol Bridge). Combined these three bridges are called The Three Sisters. They are self-anchored suspension bridges and this specific bridge opened in November 1926. In 2006, the city renamed the bridge after Rachel Carson, a Pittsburgh native, who was a famous naturalist.
As you can tell, I climbed up (only a few feet) the bridge support suspension on the left side to get this up close and personal photo. Have a great night.

Here is a picture from the top of the Duquesne Incline looking down on the city of Pittsburgh. I made two different versions and can’t tell which one I like the best. What do you think? Color or Black & White version?
Btw….Happy Easter.

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.

I saw some cool photos by a New York City photographer where he merged photos from the day and night time into one awesome photo. So I went to the West End Overlook tonight with Dave and Brad Truxell to capture some photos for this type of shot. This is my first attempt at a Day To Night photo. It isn’t even close to the quality I’ve seen by others, but I thought I would share it anyway. This photo is made up of 14 exposures merged into 2 HDR images, which I blended together for the final photo. Let me know what you think by leaving a comment below.

In 1880, Eastern State Penitentiary’s Cell Block 3 was converted into the “Hospital Department” for the prison which included about 20 cells. They tried to take care of all injuries and illness here to avoid transporting an inmate to a local hospital. They had different types of physicians rotate through Cell Block 3 to perform a number of different surgeries, procedures and services. Can you imagine having surgery in this environment??? You can see a picture of the surgery room below. Cell Block 3 was in use for this purpose until the prison closed in 1970.

This is a picture I took of the Point State Park a week ago. This fountain has been closed down for almost four years, while they renovated and improved the fountain. It just reopened recently. I took the picture from the top of Mt. Washington looking down onto the City of Pittsburgh.
