47/365 - February 21, 2012 - Knoxville at Noon Today on my lunch break, I made a quick trip to the 11th Street Garage off of Cumberland Avenue to get a shot of the Knoxville skyline from the World's Fair Park perspective. After setting up on the tripod to help combat the heavy wind gusts, I decided to shoot a multi-shot panoramic. This shot is made up of 10 photos, which I processed individually in Lightroom prior to running the photo merge in Photoshop. I considered posting a black and white version, but the colors in this rendition were too good to pass up. Beautiful day in Knoxville...
34/365 - February 8, 2012 - Converging Rails Today during lunch, I ventured downtown to get my shot for the day. I ended up parking on the Gay Street Viaduct and getting this shot of the rail road lines below at the old train depot.
22/365 - January 27, 2012 - Naked Arches After leaving work early due to my early start to the day (I was in the office around 5:30 this morning), I made a detour downtown to capture a shot of the on-going construction to the Henley Street Bridge. The spotty cloud cover shielded the direct sunlight and provided a nice background sky. Given the backlit conditions which made it difficult to capture detail in the bridge without blowing out the highlights, I used 3 bracketed exposures, 1-1/3 stops apart to compile an HDR image.
