Beautiful shot of Houston Trey – gorgeous colors! I know you’re not keeping up on Texas stuff while you are in NZ – but the Giants beat the Rangers tonight – whoo hoo!

google earth, huh? sounds like a good idea. I’ll use it for my next photo trip!

Stunning photo Trey, just spent the past 10 minutes scouring the car parks, avenues and skyscrapers… so much wonderful detail to take in.
My true passion is landscape, in particular mountain scenes, but there’s something about cityscape taken at dusk that can hold a persons attention/imagination… probably because we can all relate to that type of environment, let it be for living or simply a shopping trip.
Talking of landscape, bet you’re having a blast over in Queenstown… we’ve been having some glorious weather here on the South Island so I’m especially looking forward to viewing your photos of central Otago as and when they get uploaded… I can recommend Skippers Canyon

Wonderful shot. Too bad we don’t have anything like this where I live…

beautiful night urban HDR photgraphy

caMom,
That’s ok. Our Rangers were a little off last night. Don’t expect this series to end in a sweep.
ps. thank you for the generosity you’ve instilled in your son! He rocks!

WoW! Dude, this is amazing! There is a comp on flikr for the best modern cityscape. I have been thinking about what to do to enter it. This is perfect. you should enter this! http://www.flickr.com/groups/modern_perspectives/ check it out

Great city scape with the purple sky, my favorite color!!! Thanks for sharing, Trey!!!

Hi Trey. I love the perspective and composition. The contrast between sky and artificial lighting colors is great taken at blue hour. But I have seen the picture at full size and read the exif data and I have noticed that the details are soft and not sharpen. I have discovered that this pic was taken 2 years ago with your D2X, but the problem I think that is the wide open aperture that is only f4.2. I just wonder why you avoid exposure times with more than 30s, when other people like me are doing HDR with long exposures greater than 30s at night or using ND filters. When I have no focus at night I use hyperfocal distance and this works very well. I let you a link here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/servalpepbase/5038031013/

P.S: Finally, it seems that I will have your HDR book tomorrow. Fedex has called me today for the delivery

In 1993 and 1994 I spent a great deal of time in Houston on business. The very first time I saw the Houston skyline, the Houston Rockets had just won some sort of championship (my apologies for my fuzzy knowledge of sports) and somehow the lights in the buildings had been coordinated so all lights were on all floors of all the buildings were turned out, except for the lights in each building that spelled out Rockets! across the skyline. The first building had the Rocket’s logo, the next one had an R, the next one an O, the next a C, and so on.

I wish I could find a photo of that online so I could show it to you. Your wonderful cityscape brought that exceptional memory to mind, Trey.

I’ve had the sky turn purple on me before too. Don’t know why, but I’ve processed it several times and it always turns out that way. http://www.flickr.com/photos/reid_rosenberg/3039576033/

Hey Trey! I was just thinking, i haven’t seen any pictures from Jacksonville, Florida. Next time you’re around you should drop by, maybe do a photo walk, id love to join you in one. There are quite a few photogenic areas in Jacksonville, just a thought!
