Tulsa at Night

[Seedy]

This has been a fun project over the last couple of weeks. I've been taking pictures of Tulsa at night. My focus has been on Downtown and Route 66. It is interesting to wander around downtown at night with a camera and tripod.


Looking across the Arkansas River from River Trails.

A shop window on old 66 (11th).

Downtown Traffic circle fountain/Mayo 420 building sign.

The sidewalk in front of the Mayo Hotel.

Very cool pics. Thanks for sharing

This is one I took outside Bama Pie on 11th st at about 7am one day. I liked the look of the neon sign.

After seeing the headlines/photos from the WalGreen's shooting on W. Edison last night, I'd say that's an unfortunate reality, if not so artsy as the OP.

LOL.

Nice.

Here's a couple more:

The Adam's Building. The street lights and low clouds make it almost look like daylight.

The lens flare on this one frustrates me. I'm going to have to go back and try again:

A little stretch of Old 66 (11th and Xanthus)

Nikon D80

Most of these are with the basic 18-135 that came with the camera.

They are mostly multiple exposure HDRI.

I don't have a remote so I'm limited by 30s exposure without getting "shake" from holding the button down. All are shot from a tripod. I usually use the timer feature so that the camera doesnt move from me pressing the button. I try not to go above ISO 200. I like to use as small an aperture as possible, so I set my exposure to 30s and adjust the apeture until it "meters" at +2 EV. I then step down EV by shortening the exposure until I get to -2 (sometimes lower if there are lots of highlights). These shots are all combined using Photomatix and processed in an older version of photoshop.

Seedy, very nice pics! Tulsa has a rich architectural history and you have done a great job of portraying it.
