River South

On Saturday my camera club had a meet-and-shoot to check out another new section of the Riverwalk, from Blue Star to Roosevelt Park.
I brought both cameras but shot in infrared with the F828 almost exclusively.
Even using a monopod the high winds ruined many of my shots, since I'm restricted to 1/30th of a second shutter speed at the fast end.
I'll never understand why Sony didn't just stay with the 1/60 of my old F717 when they designed the F828--it's still too slow for lots of situations so it's not like they needed to piss me off any more than I was already.

The Pioneer Flour Mill's iconic tower makes a nice appearance here.

It's been quite some time since I last worked the Tower Of The Americas into a shot.

We were in the new section that runs behind the "Art Silos", which you might remember from a post in late November. This is an IR version of the night photo I took on Thanksgiving night.

It's Been A Long Time...

...Since I've had internet access.

And it's been quite awhile since the silos at Big Tex haven't been surrounded by hazmat crews.



These were taken Thanksgiving Night, and thanks to my brother for pulling down the top of a chain-link fence so I could shoot the 2nd photo.
