Pittsburgh, PA – Early AM (HDR)


Pittsburgh is one super photographic city! When shooting with Dave DiCello and Theaterwiz (Mike Criswell) recently…we hit the city at 5 AM! The North Shore was the target for sunrise. We were walking riverside and I saw Dave down on this seating area and as he was around the corner…I grabbed this shot. A foreground subject with the Clemente Bridge and the city in the background. Not only do I need to move to the Burgh one day to see all my fav sports teams, I better get my hard drive ready for tons of pics!!

  1. Damn Pete, you nailed it, very nice! Have a great weekend, I am headed to the Mansfield reformatory tonight for some paranormal fun. The place is an HDR goldmine but they hate tripods, and professional looking cameras, whatever that means lol, have a great weekend bud!

    Stunning again, perfectly composed. Love the foreground and details.

  3. this photo takes my breath away.

  4. I know the word “awesome” is used way too much but it’s the only one I can think of there. Fabulous work, Pete.

  5. A.Barlow says:

    Really nice shot and some very crisp water reflections!

  6. Dave DiCello says:

    This is awesome Pete, I love the foreground! I grabbed the same shot, will have to process soon! You made an appearance on my latest post!

    I love all your shots of my hometown but I think this one ranks at the top! This one is just Awesome! I love photos from the North Shore. Funny thing is I work downtown and just haven’t had a chance to get over there yet. The more I see of yours, Dave’s and Mike’s work, the more I want to get over there.
