Three types of lights make for confusion for the camera since it can't auto-white balance. But it gives each section of this photo by Bill Barfield its own feel.

Heat of the Night, originally uploaded by data5amurai.

Data5amurai uses HDR to enhance, not overwhelm, this dusk photograph of downtown Houston. Too many people abuse HDR technology, but in this case it is used well.

Hillcroft Professional Building.

2009-09-07T00:01:00.002-05:00

Telwink says it all, "Nothing screams Hillcroft/Harwin like this 70's cube."

Ask him to tell you about how he risked his life to get a photo of the building's top floor.

Fred Hartman Bridge

Fred Hartman Bridge, originally uploaded by pinemikey.

The Fred Hartman Bridge is a great structure. I've never been able to get a really good shot of it. But PineMikey did, and even did it in HDR to bring out all the color and detail of the surrounding marshland.

An inviting scene at Allen's Landing. Makes you want to blow an afternoon with an iced beverage and a thick book.

Red Line Splash

Jfre81 caught his shot of the MetroRail Red Line downtown. With the way the fountains are spraying, it almost looks like the train is splashing through the water.

The View from the View Deck

The View from the View Deck, originally uploaded by photine.

There's more going on here than just the city lit up and framed by a silhouette of Minute Maid Park. Note the beams of sunlight illuminating items in the interior of the ballpark as well. Great photo from photine.

So, we're gong south then?

On the left side of the platform, you can catch the train southbound.

Enclave Park, originally uploaded by pinemikey.

PineMikey broke out the HDR for this shot of a corporate pond/flood control feature that's prettier than most.

El Problema

2009-08-25T00:01:00.001-05:00

Telwink calls this photo "El Problema." I'll let you argue over whether it is, or not.

To me, it signifies something sad about a society when the most important feature of a home is not an entrance which welcomes others, but a fortress garage.

One Eldridge Place

If God had an office, the building it's in might have similar lighting.

The Water Wall, originally uploaded by pinemikey.

Everyone's favorite Houston waterfall (unless you like one of the other ones). Can't go wrong with a little Water Wall action.

Stewart Building

2009-08-20T00:01:00.001-05:00

Stewart Building, originally uploaded by pinemikey.

This photo really brings out the vibrancy possible in historic architecture. Too bad all of Houston's historic buildings aren't this well cared for.

2009-08-19T00:01:00.002-05:00

77074, originally uploaded by jarrod-drew.

Jarrod Drew turns a strip mall into a work of art. It's simple in form, but there's a lot going on here. From the use of the roofline to lead the eye through the photo, to the angle created by its intersection with the wall cloud, to statements about prosperity and the future represented by sunset, and the juxtaposition of red and blue. Or maybe it's just a lucky shot. Either way, welcome to the HAIF photo pool, Jarrod Drew.

Women's Foundations

2009-08-18T00:01:00.001-05:00

This is the future Texas Women's Hospital. Makes me think of those snooty department stores that call the bra and undies department "Women's Foundations."

Pretty/Ugly

2009-08-17T00:01:00.001-05:00

, originally uploaded by jfre81.

This is either a contrast of pretty and ugly, ugly and pretty, or a scene of both pretty and pretty, depending on you philosophy, politics, and whether it's your property that got tagged.

Blue Bayou

2009-08-14T00:01:00.001-05:00

, originally uploaded by jfre81.

Jfre81 got the blue in the shadow just right so that it brings out the brown in the bayou, and the red of the reflected building.

Westheimer Central Plaza

Downtown Around The World

Count on Telwink to take a very nice picture, add a little computer muscle, and turn it into something extraordinary.

Scott Kelby Worldwide Photowalk 2009 - The Stars we See at Night-, originally uploaded by I-SEEN-IT.

Light pollution obscures all but the brightest celestial bodies from shining on Houston. But in a way, we've created our own stars and constellations that hang far above us and can be seen from space.

Thanks to I Seen It for another great picture.

Leafy, Victorian, Sixth Ward

Bill Barfield had a great caption for his picture of the Williams Tower:

"Martha always had the feeling that the neighbors looked down on her."

Too funny.

Waiting Above and Below

2009-08-04T00:01:00.002-05:00

No Photoshop trickery here. It's just Telwink and his fisheye lens capturing people waiting in Eleanor Tinsley park for the big fireworks show while a helicopter circles above waiting for the same thing.

HDR Clouds

Another view of the new home that Bill Barfield's friend built recently. Similar shapes are differentiated by the materials used. In this case, wood, bricks, and stainless steel.

House in the Montrose

Bill Barfield shows how color can be used to better define shapes in architecture, as demonstrated by this new house in Montrose.

No need to be Humble

2009-07-07T00:01:00.000-05:00

Telwink posted a great picture of the restored Humble Oil Company building. When I lived in Houston, this place was still abandoned. Visiting later, I was amazed at how good the transformation has been -- at least on the outside. It's on my list of hotels where I want to stay on my next trip to the Bayou City.

First United Methodist Sanctuary, originally uploaded by nip2655.

I don't think I've ever wanted to describe a church as "sumptuous" before, but that's the feeling I get from this great picture of the inside of First United Methodist in downtown. Nip2655 posted the picture for those of us who likely will never go inside.

Photographer Fuel

2009-07-01T00:01:00.000-05:00

Lots of photographers talk about the inspirations that get them going. But the truth is, the real photographer's fuel is Starbucks. In the case of this shot by Telwink, it's a quad grande cappuccino. For me it's a venti iced zebra.

Lots of people harsh on Starbucks, but it is a great tool. When shooting on location, there's usually one nearby and it's like an oasis where you can cool off, get a snack, transmit some early photos to your client, get feedback and make corrections on the fly, use the bathroom, and then go out and start shooting again.

From Saint Louis to Singapore, the first thing I do when planning a photo shoot is map out the locations of the nearby Starbucks stores.

Big Sky, originally uploaded by bill barfield.

A lot of people think the Williams Tower is the tallest building in Houston. It isn't, and even if it was, it's easily eclipsed by the towers of clouds mother nature churns up on a summer's day. Thanks to Bill Barfield for putting things in perspective for us.

Highway6 takes the latest trend in photography (HDR) and applies it to the oldest method in photography (black and white). The result really brings out light and shadow that couldn't be seen before. Very Guy Noir!

Highway6 turns angels to demons, capturing this picture of Sacred Heart bathed in red. Actually, it's just an effect of the cathedral using sodium lamps for illumination, but it certainly gives a normally shiny white building a completely different look.

No, not that kind of shooting. Bill Barfield shows us what you can do if you bring your camera along for a ride.

Not that we recommend that sort of thing.
