I shot this on Tuesday evening off an overpass near my house. The previous day I was driving over said overpass at the exact same time I took this picture. As I crossed the overpass I saw right away what a great shot it could be, so I noted the time and came back the next day. The photo is not exactly how I had pictured it in my mind, but it’s pretty close :).
Camera: Nikon D300s & 50mm 1.8D ~ Settings: f/18 – 4 Frame HDR – ISO 200
*Note: If you ever desire to see any of my pictures in a little larger size, I post most of them on my Twitter account in a larger size :). Also, sometimes I just can’t wait to get a picture out there and it might hit Twitter a day a head of here haha. Now I’m not saying go there instead of here, because this is where all the good stuff is haha ;). Just go there if you want to view a shot a little bigger.
Thanks for stopping by, Rob
I love this as it makes me feel that no matter where you are, nature comes shining through!!
Thank you! Couldn’t have put it better myself 😉
Nice shot…I like how the sun looks like it has rays peeking through between the buildings.
Thanks! Ya I really like that too 🙂
I like it, flare and all. 🙂
Thanks!
I really like the light burst. Very nice. We have an overpass like that over Lakeshore Drive looking at the Chicago skyline. It is on my list of photos to take, but I never seem to get around to it. You have re-inspired me!
Oh cool! I would like to see that! I’m going to be keeping an eye on your blog! Looking forward to seeing that. Thank you about my picture :).
Kemo Sabe’s god-brother lives in Calgary. Every time we look at one of your gorgeous shots of the city we remember him with fondness, so far away!
Oh that’s awesome! Thank you 🙂
That looks a good location for a timelapse setup, doesn’t it?
Totally! That’s a great idea. Thank you, I am going to do that 🙂
Make sure you post the result – I’d like to see that!
You got it buddy!
No idea what you thought it would turn out like but this is beautiful. I love how the sun sparkles through the buildings. Just beautiful, Rob.
Thank you very much! 🙂
Beautiful capture!! Great perspective and composition!
Thank you! 🙂
You imagined it different Rob? I can’t imagine it any better – I love it! 🙂

A gorgeous sunset. I really like how you have been able to preserve details in the shadows without making them look unnatural. A beautiful image.

Reblogged this on The People of Calgary and commented:
I shot this one a week or so ago and thought it might also be worth sharing here :).
