Winter .. Blah.. Up until recently I haven’t been out during the day with work going on so night time has been it. Years ago in my film days I took pictures by holding the camera on the dash of my car and leaving the shutter open for a few seconds and guessing an aperture. Now i set the camera to full auto to see what it thinks the “normal” exposure is then try to close the aperture and slow the shutter down. These are a few recent attempts which I like as it was raining while I took them.
Photography Podcasts
Posted on April 8, 2016
I listen to several photography podcasts (probably too many) The first is The Digital Story by Derrick Story. Derrick’s podcast is one I truly enjoy listening to, his enthusiasm for photography is readily apparent. He covers all aspects of digital photography for professionals and amateurs. His “Nimble Photographer” philosophy is one that I’m embracing more every day , carry less gear and make more pictures. Derricks also does workshops around the country and I look forward to attending one someday

Morning walk to the office

I was hoping that this morning would turn out this way.. Lots of fog coming up off the river , created some nice opportunities for the camera. Sixth street bridge is one of my favorites with its view to the city

Instead of the steel mills of years ago, walking/biking trails run up both sides of the rivers . This one along the Allegheny

Alcoa building
Architects of new buildings along Pittsburgh’s rivers are designing them to reflect those rivers and I think the Alcoa headquarters building is a beautiful example
Lunch Walks
Posted on November 22, 2015
I like to get out on my lunch hour ( haven’t started to count how many more of these I got!) . It always takes so long to get my mind off of work that its almost time to head back before I start to really see whats around me.
These used to be so common that you didn’t notice them , now they hardly exist and blend into the background. I’m sure there are still phone booths around, wonder if I can find one?
