St. Paul, MN Photos

Waiting at the 6th street transit station

There are so many things I could write about this picture.  I woke up early yesterday and decided to make the most of it so I was out the door by 6:00 AM with my camera.  Rush hour was a mess because of the snow but I found what I was looking for.  Something colorful to shoot.  I have taken a few pictures of the 6th Street transit station.  It is very photogenic because of the color, the non-stop activity and the cathedral in the background if at all possible.

I took this shots from my car, using my Gorilla Pod.

Old Oak

There is a face up on the tower under the branches of the oak tree and this is my last post for 2009. Happy New Year.

Autumn Chapel

Fall leaves and brick is almost as much fun to shoot at rust and bricks, either way for me it is about the brick. The chapel is at Oakland Cemetery in St. Paul.

Hamline Church

A couple of days ago I took a photo of Old Main on the campus of Hamline University.  It would be a crime to visit the campus and not take a photo of Hamline United Methodist Church so I did. I think I have some better shots but none with fall colors.

Brick Church

There is no substitute for good lighting and lighting is essential for a good photograph.  I am finding though that sometimes if I am lucky HDR processing will compensate for the poor lighting just enough so that I have an OK photo.   The right light would have been better but we can’t always be in the right place when the conditions are just so.

Roses

I am not sure on this one if I was taking a picture of a church steeple or of roses. I love them both.
