Princeton University

Roaming around Princeton

While going to New Jersey for a granddaughters wedding we spent a morning wandering around Princeton.  Great architecture and fall colors at the same time, what more could you ask for? 

The Hemi

 Hemi Hideaway  

Got another chance to visit Hemi Hideaway in Brookshire Texas.  Just a group from Houston Photowalkers so it was small and personal leaving a lot of room.   With all the neon it is almost sensory overload.  Here is a sampling of what I took.

Sunrise

 Early Morning 

Well, what do you do after a sundown shoot, it's time for a sunrise shoot.  Glad the sunrise is later this time of the year.  Glenwood Cemetery offers outstanding morning views of downtown Houston (and for the old joke people are dyeing for the view).  

Sundown

  Downtown Houston 

Some views of downtown.  The objective of this shoot was to capture the moon which was coming up and going over downtown.   I quickly realized this in not in my forte  I need to study up on this.  The best results I saw from the other photographers is when they used Photoshop to merge a shot of the Moon over the city image.  You have to remember the moon is a reflection of the sun so it has the same brightness level as the sun.  Seems too technical for a hack like me.  But here are a couple shots I enjoyed taking.  Kind of a progression from "Golden Hour" to the moon rising.
