Long Center Patio & Austin Skyline
by John Rogers on Jul.21, 2010, under Architecture, Austin Texas, HDR, Travel
Here is yet another view of the Austin Skyline from the Long Center for the Performing Arts. (Can you tell I like this view of Austin?) This photograph was made the same evening the I shot the Austin Skyline Panorama. (You can see that photo here.) When I photograph I virtually always do multiple angles and perspectives of my subject matter. Due to time constraints, I generally only retouch one of the images immediately to post. Later it’s always fun to go back through my files after some time has past to mine another photograph. It’s interesting how an image that did not jump out at me during the first pass will really stand out during a second look. This image was like that. When I was browsing through my photographs for my (sometimes) daily posting I found this shot of the Long Center. It’s hard to say, but I may like it better than the original Panorama.
Austin Skyline from the Long Center

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.
