It’s Not Always Sunny In Philadelphia
The Philadelphia Art Museum
The Ben Franklin Bridge
Philadelphia Sky Line
Philadelphia Skyline
Sometimes the sky is a little gray here in Philly.
I took these pictures one day on my way home from an expo in Oaks,Pa. My friend Nicole was driving, like she does (thanks Nicole!) and we were in a little bit of traffic and I felt like snapping a few photos. It’s weird but I like when you get a good view of cityscapes. I’ve always been fascinated with The Ben Franklin Bridge. I use to photograph it all the time when I was taking classes back in college. The art museum is also a pretty cool building and who doesn’t love our skyline? I do wish I would of gotten our skyline from the opposite direction but maybe another day.
I love living in this city. I know there are a lot of horrible things about this city, and people say nothing but bad things, it really is a great place. There is so much history here and so many things to see. I sometimes get bored of doing the same thing over and over again and wish I was more of a “do things alone” type of person but I’m not. Sometimes I miss out on things because I won’t do them alone, maybe it’s because I want others to be able to experience things with me but I think I look at things differently and find odd things interesting that others want nothing to do with. Ha! Anyway I do plan to get out more often on my own and take more shots around the city. I may look like a tourist doing it but who cares? This city has some beautiful places and they should be captured.
I was pleasantly surprised by the outcome of the original photos, as I took them from a moving vehicle. I expected more of a motion blur in them but I think they came out pretty sharp considering. I originally wanted to do some HDR type of editing on these photos and although they have that feel slightly, they went in another direction but I love how they came out. These were my first photos i edited using Lightroom and I haven’t turned back since. This day was a little cloudy and the sun was poking through slightly. I like how it looks like the clouds are about to open up and unleash something from the sky.
Until next time…..
