Two picture Panorama of Pittsburgh at night






This is an image I have been wanting to do for a long time. I have tried this shot hand held on a railing with limited success. This time I took the tripod and had a beautiful clear evening to work with. This image had very little work done in Photoshop, except it is actually two images stitched together to create a larger file size. I did sharpen the buildings a bit, but tried not to effect the sky because it would increase the noise in these shadow areas. The saturation was increased slightly to make the image pop. 

   

Dark Cloud Over Pittsburgh, from PNC Park

While at a Pirate game a storm moved in, the rain never came but the sky was beautiful. I could not take a tripod into the game, so I had to set the camera on railing to keep it steady.To make the evening better the Pirates pulled off a win. Though not a great baseball fan an evening at PNC Park with Pirates is a great sporting experience.
