Downtown Skyline

Was waiting for the moon which never showed due to the clouds. And by the time it was dark dark i left, since the shot I wanted wasn't going to happen. But here's one I liked from earlier on.

Very cool. Where was it shot from?

That one is shot from the piece of land between allen pkwy and memorial pkwy, directly across from the police memorial.

Here's another from later in the evening. Different camera, slightly different focal length.

I like it, but maybe with less grass and I would have loved for the clouds to be higher..... jus me! thanks for sharing.....

Ya, I totally would have shot the horizon lower to get more sky... but the sky was completely cloudless up there.

But I could definitely see cropping off a bunch of the grass and ending up with an almost pseudo pano.

Thanks!

oh, and one of these images is an HDR run through photomatix with several exposures.
The other was just tweaked a bit in lightroom and photoshop.

#2 is more intimate and pops more! Nice series.

Thanks, Tri!
I'm working on one more... the darkest/latest time of the set...

[DiskoJoe]

i like the colors in #2 better. much better timing. but there isnt really anything that could be improved here imo. so just keep doing what your doin.

Thanks, Joe!

Here's the final shot from the series. The darkest of all 3. Last shot before i packed it up for the night.

Very cool, Dennis!

#3 is the best of this series, Dennis. Is that a little barrel distortion?

I like the variation between the grass and sky. Think it looks really great!

Thanks Keith, Tri and Lee!
Tri, i don't know? The sides of the buildings are straight. The image was not cropped, and the last one is the 35 summicron.

First one is photomatix, second is LR.

I like the second one as well.
