Hook 'em Horns. It's enough to make us forget Charles whatshisname, who
shot all those people from the top of the same tower with his rifle. I
enjoyed the Texas win, but every time I see the tower, I can't help but
remember the serial sniper incident.

I just had to take a pic from my office of the Austin skyline. The

I've been wanting to go downtown to get a pic, but have not had the
chance. So I brought my 300mm lens with me + 1.4x TC and attempted to
get a pic from the roof of the parking garage at the office.
Well, the exposures were long and the garage is not exactly what I
would call a solid structure. In fact I could feel quite a few
vibrations as I was taking shots, both from the strong winds that day
and from cars leaving for the evening. So the shots were less than
satisfactory. And I should have been more careful with exposure, since
it appears that the really bright lights blew the highlights in many
of the shots. I did not see this in the histogram however, I dont know
whats up with that, unless the magnitude got buried with the main
exposure range and could not bee seen easily.
This shot is nowhere near as nice as the recent one posted of the San
Diego skyline, but again, the San Diego skyline does not have a
building lit up in bright orange!
So here is one of the better ones:
