My city is know for "Canopy Roads" as is old roads with trees that have grown over them. Most of them were dirt roads until the 1980s and 1990s. This is an old shot from 2009, which makes me think I should try to shoot it again given that my work has improved quite a bit since then...

I did an urban, night photoshoot last week with a local model and a photographer friend who assisted with lighting. The model is sitting on the base of the historic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skidmore_Fountain in Portland, Oregon. One of the light rail trains is passing behind her. I believe the shutter speed was 1/6, ISO 200, F/2.0 using the Canon 35mm IS and a 5D3 on a tripod.

Here is a link to my blog post about this shoot. There is a link to a gallery of 150 images there. A few are NSFW. http://www.beyondboudoirphoto.com/blog/2015/4/night-photoshoot-in-portland-for-maria-nsfw

Re: Famous icons in your city: Brighton, East Sussex, England

My home city of Brighton (and Hove) ... sunburst over the piers, the Preston Twins (what are they? the world's oldest elms - at least 400 years old, hollow, beloved of children. They survive because of the isolation of the city's elms from the Dutch Elm disease that has killed almost all elms elsewhere.) ... and another picture of the remains of the West Pier. Closed in 1975, it was for a long time to be restored, but in 2003 a (suspicious) fire destroyed most of it. The storms of 2013 and 2014 have removed some more of it, so come to Brighton before it's all gone!

PS (plug warning!) if any of you are in or around Brighton over the next 4 weeks, we have an open house art show where you can come and see these and other photos, as well as 9 other artists... http://www.fivewaysartists.com/artist.php?page=profile&id=73.

Cameras/lenses were Olympus E-Pl5/m14-42 F3.5-5.6 II R (first and last) and Canon EOS 5D3/EF 16-35 F4L IS (the elms)
