I took this drone photo right after sunrise near Mid-Beach. You can see a few people walking on the beach along with the seagulls. I love the colors, textures, layers and patterns in this photo.
Looking Down
How is your week going? Mine has been very busy. Thus, I’m just getting around to creating this post at 10pm at night. So, this will be short.
Here is a photo I took a few months ago looking down the US Steel Building onto the streets of downtown Pittsburgh.

Down View
Here is a unique perspective of the US Steel Building in Pittsburgh. We don’t normally see the world from these angles. I’ve taken a bunch of photos looking straight up buildings in the past. I haven’t taken many like this using the opposite perspective. I’m digging it.

Chernobyl Nuclear Reactor #4
Wow!! Its been over a month since we left the Ukraine. I can’t believe it and I haven’t processed many photos from that trip yet. Heck, I’ve been trying to finish up photos from a 2016 Europe trip…. I can’t imagine how many years it will take me to process the tons of photos I took at Chernobyl. This is one of the few I’ve completed so far. Blair and I explored Nuclear Reactor #5, which never got completed. We found this view looking back at the melted down Reactor #4. As you can tell, they have the protective shield over it now.

The Touchdown That Wasn’t
This play happened in the first quarter of the Steelers vs. Browns game yesterday at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. I was covering the game from the sideline for a local newspaper. I am very blessed this year, since the paper got me the entire season sideline media pass.
Anyway, I was in the back corner of the end score and it appeared I was in the exact right spot to capture the touchdown. And I was, except for the fact that LeGarrette Blount (#27 – Steelers Running back) didn’t make the catch. By the way, on the next play, the Steelers scored on the opposite side of the end zone….. That’s football photography for you.
Regardless, I really liked this photo. It’ll never make the cover of Sports Illustrated or even get used by a newspaper. But I liked the way the picture has a 3D appearance (very little editing…more on that in a second), you can see the players fighting for the ball and the ref is in the background watching closely.
Editing…. I know what you’re thinking. That I edited the photo a bunch to make it appear 3D. Not true…. It was so bright in the afternoon sun, that I lowered the exposure slightly and then did a little cropping. Otherwise, this is right out of the camera.
Now…I’ll going to post this and enjoy the rest of Monday Night Football. Go Lions!!!!
