I spent Sunday with the old Canon and took a stroll from Byars in Bricktown to Walker and Main.
Made my way up the parking garage by the ballpark. Got a nice skyline photo.

Took one of the most famous alley in the world and the Oklahoma Hardware building.

Noticed that the Bricktown water tower and clock is under reconstruction:

Things are really looking up for this city.

I love this city. The blend of the old and the new and the improved. Something else I notced on my stroll is that there isn't alot of garbage that is associated with the downtowns of other cities. It also isn't overrun with graffitti. I never got approached by panhandlers even though there are some out there.
It was a good stroll.

Panhandlers don't work on Sundays. Especially after the Sooners lose.
Fantastic composition and use of light.
Nicely done!

What kind of camera do you use? Did you touchup any images?

I use a Canon XTI and do basic postprocessing.

HDR, or am I wrong?
Excellent work. That's the best shot I've seen of the skyline view from atop the Power Alley garage.
I really like the Colcord shot too.

They are not HDR, although I do have an HDR version that I worked on of the Oklahoma Hardware building.
Thank you. I also did some panoramas from atop there that came out pretty well. I have some blending cleanup to do on those, I may post those here as well.

I think you should post these on Skyscraper. com...it's always nice to let those who have never been here see some great shots of our skyline.
I still love that last pic.. did you lie down on the sidewalk, lol

Those are great shots. It would be interesting for you to re-take that first shot in a few years when the Devon tower is finished.

I have a site that I use for artistic photos, but this is the only place I have uploaded these.
It's an OKCTalk exclusive! haha
I'll add a few more here when I get the time.
Thanks to everyone for the kind words.
