Cincinnati Skyline Photo

Photographer’s Note

The colorful Cincinnati skyline and the city's reflections on the impressive Ohio River. This photo was taken across the river from Covington, Kentucky, another historical city. I found Cincinnati to be a very interesting city whose citizens are very active in historical preservation. The reflections on the river really were this colorful. This was not a Photoshop trick.

Hi Stan,
A very successful night shot with crisp focus and interesting reflections showing just a bit of movement on the water.
Well done and good for you using a tripod, it paid off.

Hello Stan -

Well done as usual Stan. I like the image especially the reflections and the smoothness of the Ohio caused by the long exposure. The exposure is spot on as most of the lights have detail and are not burned out. IMO though this image might have greater impact if it had been shot in the blue hour with light still in the sky.

Thank you for sharing

John

An excellent colorful night shot. The reflectoin of the bridge in the river is amazing. This must be great to see it in A3 format printed. Thanks for sharing,
John.

Wow! What an amazing shot. I love the vibrant colours blending on the water contrasting with the crispness of the lights on the buildings. Excellent shot! Thanks for sharing it with us. God bless.

Hi Stan,
Brilliant view of the Queens city skyline! Excellent sense of motion on the slick surface of the river from the multi colored reflections. Great clear colors and excellent details to this slow exposure beauty.
