 Some people have their favorite models... I have my favorite bridge :) I've never been 100% happy with my other entries from this bridge, even though they actually won ribbons. I last entered one of this bridge in 2005 (2003 before that), so I thought it would be fun to revisit it and try it again.

When I got home and started looking through these, it was evident that my lens was a little smudged, and these things really show up when you use small apertures and long exposures. This entry is a little more contrasty than I'd prefer, but I was able to hide most of the lens flare issues, except for the one to the right of the building. Next time... clean the lens, dude!

Really nice but I'd like to see it with really smooth water! 8

In Pittsburgh last week on business, I was once again struck at how beautiful the Allegheny is at all times of day - and, obviously, night. Lovely image of a delightful scene!
