Trials,Tribulations and Happy Moments in my busy life

Night time in Atlanta.

Hi folks,

Well what a day, we haven't stopped, spent the morning looking at fishes and the afternoon up in the air.

Up in the air? well we said we might climb the silver round tower and we did.


Here's a view from the top of the Westin Tower.


This was taken from the ground last night with my long lens of the top of the Bank of America.


A bit more of the building taken from the ground, I hope you are all keeping up.


Another tower in the distance and we are STILL on the ground.


Last ground shot of a column in the Olympic park last night


Same view but 1000 ft plus in the air, looking down on the park, see the eight columns and if you look closely the five Olympic rings with water jets coming out of them.


Just to add some interest a slow shutter shot of the car head and tail light trails on Interstate75 which we will be on tomorrow, er today now.


Lastly the bank if America building again from the top of the Westin Tower.

Thanks for looking, we travel North again in the morning.

nite nite, Luv Mike XX

  3. 1820 and the lights are on Mike, it will be dark at 1700 by the time you get home. So get some practice in! Mind you it seems like you are doing very well with the night shots already. Great Job.

    Look after yourselves

  5. Love the long exposure of the car lights. Always wanted to do one myself. Did you use a tripod or just a steady hand?
