I know, most of the time, we talk about development, buildings, an "things" much of the time on this forum. However, I like mixing the lives of actual people and Fort Worth history here. Anybody know the exact location of this store was/is?

#130920 Dallas from I-30

This is a fantastic place to photograph!! Photos taken this evening from the N. Edgefield Ave. Bridge over I-30. There is very little traffic and the neighborhood is quiet.

Bank of America kept changing colors on me...

#130913 Burnett Plaza Lights

Some sort of spire on the side like the 360 Condos in Austin or more like the Comcast Building in Philadelphia? If done right it might look good? Put some translucent panels around the top to cover the current box and then a spire. Just thinking out loud? Thoughts??

#130895 Trinity River Dallas Near Ron Kirk Bridge

Posted by WTx on 16 March 2021 - 11:10 AM in Fort Worth & Dallas Urban Photos

After watching the TAPP Channel of many skylines I think Dallas has above average building lighting verses other cities large or small. I find watching other night skylines leaves me wanting to see Dallas again. I also like Philly skyline lighting. I'm not trying to stir up a hornets nest over skyline lighting its just my opinion. :-)

**Note, my opinion is based on US skylines only.

Maybe this has been dealt with in another thread but why aren't the Burnett Plaza lights on? Everything I've seen shows them being off for a while now?

#130873 Out along the Trinity last night.

Posted by WTx on 15 March 2021 - 11:41 AM in Fort Worth & Dallas Urban Photos

I'm going over to Dallas tonight to photograph. Hopefully I capture something good to post?

I've found my love for this style of photography again after many years. I had been working professionally in low level sports photography instead. Now that I'm done with sports I'm back to photography purely for fun.

#130828 TAPP Channel

Posted by WTx on 12 March 2021 - 07:56 PM in Fort Worth & Dallas Urban Photos

Yeah, they have some amazing footage of many cities. Takes hard work to put videos like this together. I think this is why I like the channel so much.

I'm not sure how much a channel like this would make from YouTube? I have heard some people make good money posting their various content?

BTW, their Philadelphia vid is pretty amazing too! Philly seems underrated to me??
