UT Tower at Sunrise
by John Rogers on Jan.07, 2010, under Architectural Photography, Architecture, Austin Texas, Texas Buildings
There are lot’s of folks from Austin Texas and around the world hoping to see the University of Texas Tower with a big #1 tomorrow morning after tonights national championship football game. I took this photograph early one morning after they won the national championship game in 2005. The photo was taken with my 4×5 view camera and then the transparency was digitally scanned to a 500 megabyte file. With a resolution 50 times that of a good digital camera I am able to produce truly beautiful enlargements.
The Ever Changing Austin Skyline
by John Rogers on Jan.02, 2010, under Austin Texas, Texas Buildings
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.
