Philadelphia City Hall

This was one of the first images of City Hall, in the Center City section of Philadelphia that I capture during a field trip. The instructor asked us to experiment, to try to capture the details inside the arch without over exposing the outside of the building. I immediately thought of HDR. Three images, one exposed for the outside, one for just inside and one for the far back.

The HDR brought out the texture of the brick.

The View from New Hope

[exif id="18221"]

We decided to have a family brunch in New Hope. We didn't know that that day was the Shad Festival. The traffic through Lambertville was terrible. We had planned on a noon lunch, but by the time we got to our chosen restaurant, there were 30 minutes wait.

We then picked what I think is one of the worst restaurants in New Hope.

What softened the rough edges of this trip was the view. I took these images just after had lunch.
