As a photographer that sells photos for licensing & stock as well as fine art prints, I’m always looking for a new image of the Austin Skyline. I know this location has been used by many photographers in the past to capture Austin but this is actually my first. In fact the night I shot this another photographer was doing a portrait session at the same location. In any case, here is my latest ‘take’ on looking at Austin from this particular spot. I’l be revisiting this location again soon when I can capture some nice golden clouds above the city
As always, if you enjoy my work, please comment. And of course licensing is available for commercial use as well as beautiful art prints and canvas wraps.

One of my favorite views of the Austin Skyline is from the large patio in front of the Long Center for the Performing Arts. (Preferably with a glass of wine during the  intermission of a performance.) The arc surrounding the patio provides a perfect frame to the city. Unfortunately the format of my website doesn’t really do a panorama justice. In fact, typically I tend to find myself shooting more ‘portrait format’ (tall and skinny vs. short & wide) images simply because they allow me to show a larger image on the page.

This view of the Austin Skyline was photographed in late 2009. Although I grew up in Austin the skyline has changed so much that I find in this view it’s hardly recognizable.You can see the University of Texas Tower lit up with the #1 on the left side of the image. The Capitol building is completely obscured by all the new towers. I did take a little license and remove a few cranes from the photo to hurry along the never ending construction.
