I love capturing images of Pittsburgh. That should be apparent from seeing my work catalog. Sometimes it takes a different technique to fit everything into one frame. To overcome this, I have adopted a technique that allows me to shoot multiple overlapping frames and stitch them together into one image.  It is a technical and time consuming task, but is personally rewarding when it comes together well.

June 4th was a perfect day to capture the city in this manner. I first went to Grandview Park and caught the soft warm sunlight on the city from the hill at the top of the park. There were many power lines to remove, which made this one frustrating.  This panorama is comprised of 11 images.

The next spot I visited was Mt. Washington next to the Monongahela Incline. The light was more direct and not filtered through the clouds as much. I planned to get all of downtown in the final shot, but saw how good the South Side looked in the light, so I ended up including it. This one is 21 individual frames.

I can’t get over how photogenic this city can be!
