Cutting Through the Park
Here is another shot from the little video I did with Scott Kublin. He followed me around with a video camera for a while and asked me questions. It wasn’t planned or anything, but it came out pretty good! I helped him and Rick a bit with their HDR photography while we moved around Olympic Park. That link above takes you to the short version of the video. The longer one is avail in Newsletter #3 — you get a link there when you subscribe.
There is a curvy street that cuts through the middle of Olympic Park in Atlanta. It wasn’t too far from here where that bomb went off in 1996 Atlanta. I was actually there with my friend Scott Sadowski when it went off! I was not too close to the blast, so I was not in any danger… but we did hear it and see the commotion. So I was there for that bombing AND I was in NYC during 9/11 and saw the 2nd plane hit the WTC. I had meetings in the financial district that day, and we ended up getting stuck in NYC for many days while the airports were shut down. Again, I was not close enough to be in danger… But… I have a knack for being in sketchy situations, I guess!

Neat photo, Trey!! Nice colors. Stay away from those bombs, ok
Can’t imagine being there on 9/11 and seeing one of the towers hit. It was bad enough watching it on TV. I sure shed a lot of tears during that time. Have a great day.
The sharpness in this image is unbelievable. Superior quality, amazing job. I like the way the lamp posts and the cars lead our eyes… By the way, I’m trying to get rid of these ‘light’ reflexes but find it impossible. Regardless the f/stop they come back. Does anyone know the best way not to get these ’round reflex spots’ in night pictures of straight to the sun/light source pictures? All I could find is that the better the lenses, the less you will get…
Beautiful shot of my hometown.
This one really turned out good.. I wasn’t so sure when I saw you taking them in the video.
Was this before or after the alleged Coca-Cola incident?
Thanks!
This was after the alleged Coke incident – that was at sunset!
Oh wow! Wonderful colorful shot Trey!
Excellent clarity and color! Well done my friend.Love the dark blur of the passing vehicle. Only thing that I wish this image had is a little bit of clouds in the sky.
Thank you so much for putting up pics of Atlanta! I see this landscape everyday from my apartment and it makes me happy to see it portrayed so beautifully!
Well, this is an excellent photograph indeed! I’m still not sure how you blend the blurred layer (of the cars) into your final image. I wonder, is the car part one image, or several? And about what shutter speed are you recording the cars at? You are a remarkable photographer.
Well thanks very much! Gary – I don’t remember all the shutter speeds. I bet they were around 5-15 secs for the longer ones.
