Friday Night in the Big City

Nice clear night, really got cold last night, but half way nice today.  Now for the big warm up.  Glad it was finally Friday.  Nice morning sunrise color, shot a couple, but really wasn't happy with them.  Thought about today's 365 (366) most the day, decided on a Still Life.  Decided to go with my favorite Friday night wind-me-down.....a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon:
Hope everyone has a great Saturday, enjoy!

365 day 12

Babies grow up so fast, I thought that I would go ahead and post one of my new granddaughter.  She was trying out her Mona Lisa smile on grandpa.  Another new photo tomorrow!

I'm here to say it's hump day.

So, here it is Wednesday, on the downhill slide to the weekend.  Good feeling.  Cold and snowing outside, I guess we are due.  That will give some different kind of opportunities for shots (action shots of cars sliding, ice falling from the tower, wind blowing snow into drifts).  I think if it's going to snow and be slick and messy, it should go ahead and snow enough for some great photos. It's a lot easier to get a snow shot when there is three or more inches of unblemished white stuff then when there is 1/2 " of glaze.  Well, since it is Wednesday, St. Patrick's Oratory had their lights on so I grabbed a couple of shots.  I likes the front door shot the best, they have beautiful stained glass all around.  So, here it is:
I added alittle HDR toning to it and some vignetting to give it depth.  Hope you like it.
