West side of the Wheeling Suspension Bridge. I noticed this effect in Lightroom when traversing the photos from this night’s shoot and thought it would make a good animated gif. Hope you like it.
Thanks to @matthewdlyons for the Elements tip to create this.

…up to the elbow you say Dianne? Oh, we’re back…and now to Ollie Williams for our Blaccueather report. Ollie is on the road in Columbus, OH. How’s the weather out there Ollie?
ITS COLD!!!
Thank you for that riveting report Ollie. Lets move on to Asian reporter Trisha Takanawa’s photos of Columbus and Dublin (insert racial sterotype here):
Stay warm everyone and most importantly…be safe!

Last night while driving home from Columbus I decided to take a 30 mile detour and visit Pittsburgh for the first time. I’m a sucker for city skylines so it was natural that I would seek out the Mt Washington overlooks. A quick call to fellow photog and Pittsburgh native Shawn Duffy confirmed my plans (BTW, Shawn has a great guide to Pittsburgh photo spots on his site).
The extra 2 hours to the trip were well worth it. The view was fantastic, the people extremely friendly and open to conversation, and I enjoyed one of the best pizzas ever eaten (Cestone’s Pizza on Virginia Avenue). Not only that but last night was the opening game in the 2009 NFL season that continued the new rivalry between the Steelers and the Tennessee Titans.
Below are a few of my shots: 1) Two 5 shot panos of Pittsburgh at dusk and at night; 2) will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas on the Jumbotron during their performance at the NFL Kickoff Celebration; and 3) Pregame fireworks at Heinz Field.
There’s a new 8 floor parking garage open on the south side of the Reston Town Center. Though it has been open for a few months, they have recently opened it up to the top. I stopped by there the other day to grab some sunrise shots.
I’m pretty happy to have this public location open now. There are not too many high places to shoot in Reston. You can even see Tyson’s Corner from here. While the sunrise from this location is impressive it looks like sunsets will be awesome since there is a pretty much unobstructed view to the west.
