This is the sky wheel at National Harbor in Maryland. I spent the last week working on the opposite side of the river and could see it so I revisited the images I took earlier and found this one. I have seen skywheels in a lot of places I have traveled to. I’ll let everyone in on a dirty secret. I have never actually been on one. Not because I have a fear of heights or whatever. I’m basically too cheap…
I am fighting the flu or at least flu like symptoms so going to be brief on this one. I wasn’t feeling the editing and it was a struggle to get through it. This is a sky wheel that is located on the Navy Pier in Chicago. I went for a weird camera angle using my 16-35mm lens and a long exposure to get the effect. Just a note, if you want to shoot at the carnival you have to…
These images were shot at the National Harbor and I just got around to editing them for. No idea why I never published them but I finally did. They seemed to work together so instead of doing one at a time I’ll post them together. Editing wise I went back to masking in layers and so on. I have been doing fairly clean edits so with these images I went a little wild and made the world look like I…
This is the skywheel at National Harbor and the biggest reason I went back to National Harbor so I could capture it at night and lit up. I wasn’t disappointed with the result. Since this was edited sometime last week and in a chain of edits I was doing to stay ahead of the editing curve while I am traveling. I know I ran a few filters through it to bring out the lights on the wheel. It’s a cool…
I didn’t plan on publishing this image today or even editing it. I was going through the library and saw it and was like cool! There is a pirate ship in front of a giant wheel! This was another shot from the National Harbor in Maryland. The pirate ship is run by a company called Urban Pirates and you can take cruises along the Potomac River. Apparently they have water cannons on the boat so would make for interesting times…
This is another one from the National Harbor. I was on a path that leads to somewhere but I stopped when it was going to go through a tunnel under the freeway. My objective was the National Harbor area and not wandering down paths. It just happened that when I snapped this the dragon boat was heading in toward the shore area and I thought it looked cool in the image. I have the same image without it but I…
