And now for something a bit different for me... A while back I got a chance to go out at night on top of a parking garage overlooking downtown Atlanta. This was the parking garage for Savannah College of Art and Design, or SCAD. I had been wanting to try a shot like this of downtown Atlanta for some time so it was cool to try this finally. It wasn't totally dark yet when I took this, so to get the long shutter speed that I wanted for the effect on the car lights, I used a circular polarizer to reduce the light to the camera. I have more from this evening session that I will eventually post.

I am honored to be the photoblog of the week over at digital Photography School. Besides featuring me, they asked me to write a tip. Check it out.

The North American Photobloggers Meet-up is this year in Chicago, April 27-29: northamerica.photobloggers.org. Sign up. Go.

Listening to "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails

"IN the night, when the sea-winds take the city in their arms,
And cool the loud streets that kept their dust noon and afternoon;
In the night, when the sea-birds call to the lights of the city,
The lights that cut on the skyline their name of a city;
In the night, when the trains and wagons start from a long way off
For the city where the people ask bread and want letters;
In the night the city lives too—the day is not all.
In the night there are dancers dancing and singers singing,
And the sailors and soldiers look for numbers on doors.
In the night the sea-winds take the city in their arms."
- Carl Sandburg, "Night Movement—New York"
