[Downtown - SouthWest] Photo Tour


SOCOM

Recommended Posts

Hey guys - I was back in Hartford this morning and had a quick hour to kill from 10am to 11am, so I got on my horse and trekked around the Downtown SouthWest area. For the purposes of this thread, I'm defining the area as roughly Bushnell Park east to State House Square.

I am offering a taste of what's to come with these 4 photos, as I managed to snap 52 photos on my little one hour tour (I will be posting the rest of the photos periodically over the next couple hours/days). Hope you enjoy. :)

Great pix. The first and last look really good.

Thanks, probably 2 of the better pictures I've ever taken. I'm no Garris or beerbeer, but I'm starting to learn "framing" and other techniques that help to increase the quality.

The new streetscape created by the Hartford 21 project (There were actually quite a few people walking on the sidewalk, but I get a little uncomfortable taking peoples' pictures so I waited for everyone to clear out - yes, I'm shy. ;) )

it would be cool if you took some shots from the traveler's tower observation deck.

I'm planning on heading to the observation deck asap. Last Monday I was in the Travelers Tower but the security guard informed me that I needed to call ahead in order to be taken to the observation deck (a guide has to escort you). I'll be in Hartford next Tuesday, if I have the time I'll certainly take some pics from the observation deck.

If requests are being taken, I'd love to see more of in and around Bushnell Park.

Here are a couple more photos in and around Bushnell Park. I'll certainly take more in the future. Maybe even devote one thread to the park and its surroundings.
