Yesterday, I mentioned that I had driven over to Columbus, Ohio to catch the skyline in the early morning. This image was taken in the twilight just before sunrise, one of my favorite times of the day for photography.
A month or so back, I described how I scouted locations for my Cincinnati Sunrise shoot via the internet. I used the same process that I described in the previous post. I think that I am really getting good at using the technique.
Apparently, the Columbus dispatch has been around for more than 140 years. Seems like a lot of time for the midwest, 1870 or so.
I drove over to Columbus this morning to catch the skyline in the early morning twilight and came away with this image as my favorite of the day. I'll be sure to share more with your over the next couple of days.
Have a great week!
At the turn of the twentieth century, famed Chicago architect, Louis Sullivan, designed a series of banks in the midwest. Collectively known as jewel box banks because of their beauty, they are all still standing and even better, one is not far from my home. Located in Sidney Ohio, the Peoples Federal Savings and Loan Association bank was built in 1919.
Never heard of Louis Sullivan? He was the inventor of the modern day sky scraper and mentor to Frank Lloyd Wright. I know you have heard of him.
Here in Springfield, Ohio USA, we have a very nice park that winds along the river. The park is dotted with ponds full of geese and ducks as well as an occasional old victorian building. The boat house is just one example.
This image is an example of how an overcast sky allows you to shoot in the middle of the day, long after the golden hour has passed you by.
