Partial San Antonio Skyline & The Friendship Torch*
EDIT 2-24-11: see an update of this shot Here.

This is a partial shot of downtown San Antonio, looking east, as seen from the top of the Riverbend parking garage.
I’m embarrassed to admit this, but maybe this has happened to one of you once: ever changed a setting on your camera to suit the need-at-hand, only to forget and have that setting come back to bite you later on? Well several days back I guess I upped the ISO setting on my camera to 800, and then forgot to put back at 200. I probably did 3 or 4 photo sessions before I noticed it. One of which were these night shots (which was no small feat with a baby girl in-tow on my front side). To make matters worse, in addition to using hi ISO, I had the long exposure noise reduction feature turned off on these shots. So, they didn’t come out as clear as they could’ve/should’ve been…
