Into the Distant Darkness.......

My take on the Vanishing Point:

Waiting for the Train

Waiting for the east bound train heading out to Chicago.............

And a bit of wide angle distortion makes it interesting?

The New Amtrak Station

Actually a little bit of the Union Statin is still set aside for Amtrak, and the ticket counter, etc, are still inside.  But the Train Platforms have been redesigned

Looking for Direction

Harkening back to an earlier travel image.

A Visit to Union Station

Donald posted his Images from this Night time excursion a while ago.  He loves night time photography.  For me it's OK, but I'm not as captivated..............mostly because of the danger of mugging.  So we always arrange to go with a group.

As you know I have inherited the Nikon D-40.  No I haven't abandoned Film!  NEVER!  But I carry it when I'm not feeling especially motivated, but know that I'll regret NOT having a camera better than my phone with me.  And something always turns up.

Bridge Over Troubled Highways

We'll end the Series with a Final Bridge Night Scene.

Downtown Lifestyles

Condos along the South Platte River.

(For me personally, not the most scenic location)

Best of the Bridge

Confounded by power lines, etc.  I decided that this was the best view of the Bridge.

Compare to Friday.

Views from Beneath the Bridge

Not Just Trash

Along the South Platte River, Denver Commons Park

Denver After Dark

Posting a bit late today.  So let's start with a night scene from Denver Commons Park:

Denver Nights

We had the opportunity to photograph the Denver Skyline from the Balcony of the Museum of Science and Nature.

The weather didn't exactly cooperate, but we hope to have opportunities in the future sponsored by the Colorado Urban Wildlife Photo Club:

Above is the cropped image, below the original.  Which do you prefer?

We spent this past weekend on a Denver Architecture photographic workshop with Christopher James.  I'll be posting more on that next week..............because I need to develop my film..........

Denver in the Dark.......Up on the Roof

Here we end our Denver in the Dark Presentation.  We'll take a break and restart on Sunday........

Denver in the Dark.....Final "Harvest"

Our last Cropped Image Comparison......

Here we go very vertical.  Which version draws you in more?

Denver in the Dark.....Cropped Again

Some people crop in the camera.  I obvious do most of my cropping after the fact.    One way you capture it all and sort it out later; the other way you are more selective at the start, but you could also miss some interesting detail that you didn't see initially.

Often there are legitimate reasons for printing it either way...........

Denver in the Dark.......Another Case for the Crop

Removes the distraction of a partial doorway.....

Two more Crops before we wrap things up.

Denver in the Dark......At The Club

Denver in the Dark.........

Another anonymous alley.................

Denver in the Dark...........A Case for Cropping

A Case For Cropping......

The cropped image is much more interesting.......
