Philadelphia Sunset

[Paul Wolf]

Another shot from my hotel balcony during a recent visit to Philly. The scene with the amazing light, shadows, contrast and tonal range blew me away! I hope I have conveyed it properly in this rendition.

I always love seeing Philly shots from other photogs. I see this PECO building when I look out my apartment window. We have had some amazing sunsets recently, and you've done well with this one. I like that you got some detail in the dark areas, though it cost you by blowing out the bright spots in the sky. Next time you're in town, look me up...maybe we can do some street shooting. :-)

Charles:
As always, thanks for the feedback. Yeah, that sun was a tough one. No amount of stopping down during or after the shot toned that down. One of those times when I wished I was one or two rooms over; it would have been behind the building. So, I did what I could.

Some more Philly shots are on the way.

On my next visit to town, I'd really enjoy getting together. I've sent a private e-mail to you. I hope you don't mind.

Thanks,
Paul

Some more Philly shots are on the way.

Always happy to see more home town shots (Grew up in Montgomery County, a few miles NW of the city limits)
