Houston Cityscape #1

Now for something in the city. As mentioned in an earlier posting, Houston has not only beautiful nature opportunities, but is also one of the best urban landscapes in which to take pictures. With its centralized downtown and well-developed outlying areas, anyone interested in architectural photography could spend quite some time here.

This picture was taken on my way to a church function at the George R. Brown Convention Center, through the car windshield. It was taken with the 3800 - thus only 3 megapixels - so took some doing in Elements to get the right contrast, etc.

I've always been surprised, though, at the awesome quality that came out of that camera. (past tense, because I have since given it away to my nephew) This photo is actually cropped from a much wider scene, but the detail still is acceptable.
