A Month in the Pitt of America
 
So, Ive been living in Pittsburgh for a month now thanks to Glowrock. Heres some the best photos Ive gotten thus far. Some of the first ones Ive already posted but oh well. I hope to make a book on Pittsburgh and actually get this one published this time.

Awesome set man, Pittsburgh has steadily moved from nowhere on my radar to dead-center, thanks to you, Flash, glowrock and everyone else who has consistently posted quality shots over the past few years. Still hate the Steelers and Penguins though.

Anyone here play Fallout 3? The Pitt expansion? This is exactly the view you encounter when first traveling to The Pitt. Minus the Canadians.

Gordo Mar 28, 2013 5:13 AM

God damn. Great stuff as usual.

wisla_krakow Mar 28, 2013 5:51 AM

fantastic photos! i take it you're enjoying pittsburgh?

Chef Mar 28, 2013 6:01 AM

Nice set! Pittsburgh really seems to fit your photography style.

Chicago103 Mar 28, 2013 7:30 AM

Pittsburgh is what happens when you mix Appalachia with big city urbanism. I like how some of the isolated neighborhoods look like small towns and because of all the hills you can't see other neighborhoods or the skyline until you are almost right on top of it. It seems like a great place for people who a places that mixes rural with urban.

LMich Mar 28, 2013 8:10 AM

Very nice! Out of cusity, what photo effects did you use on the night vistas?

Also, where is this in the city (the opposite bank)?

Is is some kind of former industrial area?

LMich, that shot was taken from just above a tiny little neighborhood called Duck Hollow, looking across the Mon River at Homestead. The opposite bank is known as the Waterfront, which is basically a huge shopping area on what used to be the Homestead Works. Think Homestead riots, the Pinkertons, etc... etc... Also Homestead Greys for those who follow up on Negro League Baseball history. ;)

PS: photoLith, your photos suck, as always! ;) j/k, of course...

That is the Waterfront and Homestead viewed from Braddock.
The Waterfront was once the site of the larges steel mill in the world, Homestead works.

Amazing pics man. I've been very impressed with your skills. Love the geese shot!

tdawg Mar 28, 2013 12:07 PM

fantastic set. I've only been to Pittsburgh once but I loved it. Great, compact, bustling downtown and the rivers and all the bridges reminded me of a mini-Manhattan.

STLgasm Mar 28, 2013 12:44 PM

Amaz

STLgasm Mar 28, 2013 12:46 PM

Amazing photos! Glad you finally made the move to a gritty urban city that you have longed for.

Danny Mar 28, 2013 1:09 PM

Spectacular phototour! Thanks for your superb shots, photoLith.

Your night shots are specially wonderful. I agree with Austinlee, the geese shot is fantastic, probably my favourite. Well, it´s difficult to choose any picture as favourite because all of them are wonderful.

Congrats and greetings from Madrid, Spain!:tup:

Photo effects? I don't really manipulate my photos if that's what you're asking. They are usually taken at twilight and set at f22 and 30 second exposures.

McBane Mar 28, 2013 3:14 PM

Awesome pics man! (and ignore Hed)

texcolo Mar 28, 2013 3:15 PM

I love the first shot in the fog.

Centropolis Mar 28, 2013 3:28 PM

under-rated is an under-statement
