Alcatraz
Uploaded: October 04, 2004
This is Alcatraz at sunset taken from the Fisherman's Wharf. I added the moon and the beam of light. The glass is lit up from the reflection of the sunset. I used a 70-300 Promaster lens with a Canon Digital Rebel on a monopod. Critiques welcomed.

Wow, Lori, I love what you did here. Very creative!!! #175429Lori Carpenter October 04, 2004
Thanks, Donna. I loved looking at your member gallery. I was just vacationing in California and had to see Alcatraz (I live in IN and work in a prison). I tried to make it look like what I had pictured. #822089Dan Holm October 04, 2004

Thanks Dan, I looked at your member gallery and you have a wonderful eye. I love your composition and colors. It looks like you're in the Sierra Nevadas? What a wonderful place to take pictures!!! #822106Charlene Bayerle October 04, 2004

Thank you Charlene, I got my monopod at Walmart ... nothing fancy and very light weight. I would like to find one that has a hinge at the top so I can take portrait instead of all landscape shots. #822151Donna J. Taff October 04, 2004
