I hadn’t been up to Skyline Drive overlooking the City of Reading in probably twenty years so I decided to go on up today and shoot the Fire Tower and the famous Pagoda. The renovations to the Pagoda are almost complete and so you still see some construction artifacts in this shot unfortunately.
For a background on the Pagoda, how it came to be and it’s history over the years, check this page out : http://www.pagodaskyline.org/pagoda/
I bracketed five RAW frames for this shot and HDR’ed them with Photomatix Pro to bring out the dramatic and ominous clouds. I like “ominous” :–D
