Monday Night Football Cincinnati Skyline
11.10.10
This past Monday Night Football broadcast in Cincinnati meant two things. The Bengals would be beaten in front of the entire county, and photographers would flock to the usual “Light Up Cincinnati” spots to shoot the skyline.
I’ve not heard about an official Light Up Cincinnati in quite a while, but this was closest thing to it we’ve had in years. I wasn’t even aware that both stadiums were going to be lit until my drive home from work Monday night and saw Great American Ballpark lit up. I later learned that the ballpark was lit in memory of Sparky Anderson who had passed away on the 4th of November.
After dinner I headed out and hit Newport Central Catholic first, then off to Devou Park, Covington Landing and Mike Fink’s parking lot. Most of this gallery are panoramic shots, although there are a few single image photographs as well. The panoramics range from 12 to 32 images wide. Unfortunately they cannot be appreciated fully in the galleries because I have to make them smaller for web viewing. The full-sized files are huge, ranging from just over 100 MB to close to 350 MB on the largest. The largest is a whopping 172″ wide by 68″ high at 72 dpi.
Great American Ballpark Fireworks
04.09.10
I picked up my new camera (Canon 5D Mark II) last Friday but was so busy I didn’t really shoot with it till Wednesday of this week. I had Wednesday night free so I planned on just going out and looking to find something to shoot and ended up down at the riverfront shooting the skyline once again. The Reds were playing the first night game of the year and a photographer I was talking to told me they were having fireworks after the game, win or loose. I didn’t really want to spend the next couple of hours there, since I really don’t care for watching baseball in the stadium so staring at the stadium from the outside without beer and hot dogs just didn’t sound thrilling. But as I said I was talking to another photographer and before I knew it the game was almost over so I decided to stick around. I was nice to be able to hang out and have some “photo talk” with someone that shares the passion. I found out from him (Jim from Highland Heights), that I’m not the only one goofy enough to get up at 5 AM on any given Saturday and just head out looking for something to shoot. And to top it off, he’s a Canon guy!
Here’s the entire gallery. Enjoy!

Digging through the archives I ran across this panoramic I shot last year on my way into a meeting at P&G.
San Francisco Panoramics
07.31.09
I had traveled to San Francisco long ago when in the Air Force but was unable to shoot while there. I knew at that time I wanted to return at some point and take lots of photographs.
In June of 2008 I finally had my chance to return. Although it was a business trip with a pretty packed schedule I did get out and shoot some stuff. I would imagine San Francisco has to be one of the most photographed cities in the country, it’s just an incredible place.
This gallery contains a small group of the images I shot while there, mainly panoramic. At some point I’ll post the entire group of photos, but for now it’s just these.
Images of Cincinnati & Northern Kentucky

This is a gallery of mixed images from the local area that I have collected. They are from various dates and events with the only they have in common is that I captured them within 10-15 miles from home. There is a real wide variety of images here, everything from the inside of the Hofbrauhaus in Newport to a Balloon Glow at Coney Island.
