Gervais Street Bridge & nearby ampitheatre

Beautiful, but may I give a helpful hint that you may already know. Go back and take that same picture when the sun is behind the clouds for some good color saturation on the downtown buildings.

Thank you! I did not think of that. In fact, the picture was taken in December 2004 when there was little to no cloud cover. But I will definitely keep your hint in mind and I welcome photography tips because one can never stop improving.

A little different perspective... I had to keep it real with the parking lot in there. It's more about how the skyline looks from there than the river, actually. I really love this park.

Great shot, EM.

Here SnowWhite, a little assistance from Photoshop. Corrected levels, used unsharp filter, and added a blue layer overall in Soft Light mode to reduce the red hue.

So weird! I still can't pciture those things riding up Gervais. It just seems so out of place.

[BrasilnSC]

You should have seen it riding down Assembly, lol.

They look more natural on Main, Lady and Lincoln.

Mental Hospital on Bull Street

It looks abandoned. Somewhat creepy, isn't it ?

I know that there is an very old cemetery in Columbia, did you take any pictures of it ? I like creepy places.

This one above inspired me, thanks !

Chtimi, it is abandoned. That is on the property formerly occupied by the state mental hospital on Bull Street that will become the Bull Street development in another thred on here. I'll hafta ask Firefox if he has more pictures.

I just thought this was awsome considering alot of cities have 3d models

It's cool, but it's dated. It doesn't show the Meridian building and the First Citizen's building. And it's starts too far south to show the Bank of America tower, the Jefferson Square building and the Strom Thurmond federal building. And it doesn't show the Palmetto Health Baptist Medical Center administrative annex building (10 stories).

It is dated, but it's a cool visual though. I'd love to see an updated one.

^^ A day I don't remember much of...

Those pictures help a little though

[BrasilnSC]

Yes, that was quite a day. Here are some of my pics

The aftermath.

[SnowWhite]

I, too, took lots of pics at St. Patty's Day but they look pretty much like all of yours, so instead, I'm going to post the pics I took on the Horseshoe when I was walking back from the festivities to a friend's apartment.

The Horseshoe sure is deserted during spring break!

[GamecockEngineer]

SnowWhite, the first picture of the Horseshoe is great. I love the lighting through the trees.
