CINCINNATI: Skyline, Rare Cathedral & Temple Photos with Super Wide Building Shots

[cincyimages]

On Saturday, January 12th, 2008, I spent 7 1/2 hours walking the streets of Cincinnati. At first the sky was questionable as I approached Downtown but as the day went on, it cleared up nicely. I had my camera in one hand, a sling bag with my lenses and my tripod on my back and a peaceful afternoon of photography. I also ran into Bob from http://5chw4r7z.blogspot.com & http://parkerflats.blogspot.com and introduced myself. He was of course coming back from taking photos of Parker Flats.

Please post which one is your favorite.

Since everyone loves skyline photos, I will start out with those:















Interior Ceiling of Shillito Lofts












I loved the sky in this one
























Interior of the Palm Court at the Hilton Netherland Plaza Hotel




Sung Korean Bistro is fantastic - I recommend the Bulgogi http://www.sungkoreanbistro.com/




Covenant First Presbyterian Church - Dedicated in 1875


City Hall






The Phoenix Restaurant




Koch's Sporting Goods
































St. Peter in Chains Cathedral - Dedicated in 1845 (The spire is 220 feet above street level and was the tallest man-made structure in the city for many decades and is constructed of pure white limestone.)












Wise Temple also known as the Plum Street Temple - Dedicated in 1866 (This building was constructed by James Keyes Wilson with a 19th century Germanic architectural style based upon the Byzantine-Moorish Revival architecture of Golden-Age Spain. It has a tripartite facade, rose window and a basilica style arch, similar to a Gothic Cathedral, but its Islamic influences are visible in its minarets and other details. All examples of similar architecture in Germany were destroyed by Hitler.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_M._Wise_Temple

awesome man! care to list your gear?

[cincyimages]

Not at all, many of the photos were taken with a Nikon D80 with a Sigma 10-20mm lens and a B+W Kaesemann Polarizer. The skyline shots were taken with a Nikkor 18-200mm VR lens. If you visit my photo gallery at http://www.pbase.com/cincyimages/cities, you can see more of the EXIF data including aperture, iso & shutter.

Take care and thanks for the compliments.

Good stuff man. I used to have the Sigma 10-20mm. That's what, 15mm on your D80? Crazy wide
