Atlanta City skyline shot
Really, it's only half the city. But it makes for a nice skyline shot of Atlanta.
The spot is on the North Avenue bridge over Interstate 75. On the Georgia Tech side of the the bridge, on the south side, there's a small hole in the fence. Set up there with a tripod, and you can get something like this. ![]() Patch29 showed me this, and told me how to shoot it. I went back a couple of times before I got it right.

This is right by The Varsity, by the way, if you have a hankering for an overrated hotdog and some tasty onion rings.

How close will you be? Will you be at ground level, or above? What time of day will you shoot? I'm guessing I was about 60 meters or so from the nearest headlights, and as you can see, there wasn't a problem. It probably helped that I was also above them and shooting from the side. Also, I was not shooting in complete darkness. So my guess would be that as long as the headlights are not coming directly at your lens, and you shoot while there's still a little bit of light in the sky (my favorite time of day to shoot) you should be OK.

In real life, the sky doesn't look exactly like this, but if you watch carefully you'll see something close. Be quick, it doesn't last long!

I'd still recommend not shooting in complete darkness, if you have the choice. The pictures are prettier when there's a bit of light left in the sky.

Iam interested in the possibilty of using your Atlanta Skyline photo for my website and don't understand all the lingo. What does "PM" stand for? I am a builder, real estate agent and amateur phototographer. I am interested in using your photo on the frontpage of my website. I have lived in Atlanta since 1986 and believe that your photo shows a positive vibrant picture of Atlanta. I like your photo better than other ones that I have seen. The picture would be featured on my website with buttons below to search for properties, featured properties, info about the real estate company, etc. Thanks for your consideration. |
