Downtown is full of photo ops. Broadway street has lots on both sides, lots of honky tonks and tourist shops. 2nd street beginning at Broadway also has lots of interesting shops. Johnny Cash has a museum on 3rd street that just opened.
The famous Ryman Auditorium is behind Legends Bar at 5th and Broadway...its a big brick building you can't miss it. Bridgestone Arena looks like a flying saucer landed on top of it. Also has a big WSM like tower next to it. The Country Music Hall of Fame is on 5th and Demonbreun Street. Next to it is the Music City Center, its a convention hall, one of the largest in the nation. There is a park between the downtown Hilton and Country Music Hall of Fame. It is called the Music City Walk of Fame. Like the stars in Hollywood, Nashville has designated this area to place it's stars. Across from the Hilton is the Schermerhorn (pronounced Shimmer Horn) Symphony Center.
Its has Greek style archetecture, a very pretty building. On past the Schemerhorn is the approach to Shelby Street Bridge. It's a pedestrian only bridge that crosses the Cumberland River. You'll get great shots of the Nashville Skyline from this bridge. Also from this bridge you can get good shots of LP Field...home of the Tennessee Titans NFL football team. Tennessee State Capital Building is located on the north end of downtown. Also many Federal and State government buildings are scatted around the north end. TPAC (Tennessee Preforming Arts Center) is at 6th and Deaderick Streets, they have a free museum in the basement. Right now, they are featuring Civil War artifacts. The original 13th Amendment abolishing Slavery is on display there as well. The most famous building of all downtown is the AT & T southeast headquarters. Its affectionatly called "The Batman Building" for its twin spires...giving it the look of a building that Batman would have his hideout. It dominates the skyline...you can't miss it. There are lots of very old churches scattered around the downtown area as well. A bit further down Broadway is Grand Central Station. Built in the late 1800's it is Nashville's original Train Station. Lots further west in an area called "Music Row" where all the recording studio's are located. Every major label is here. You might check to see if there is a trolley service that will take you there. The Parthenon is located west of downtown also. Again you would need to ride the trolley to see it if you don't have transportation. There are also horse and carriage rides downtown. As you can see...there is much to look at and see in the downtown Nashville area. And let me be the first to welcome you to our wonderful southern city. Now as in any big city, there are weird people roaming around...some homeless. So be on guard. If you look like a tourist, some may hit you up for money. Just ignore them, smile and keep going. The Grand Ole Opry House is about 14 miles east of downtown. Check with someone, they may offer a tourist package to see it and Opryland Hotel...I'm just not sure on that one.

Now, one day I took a walk downtown while my wife attended a meeting...didn't get to all the places I mentioned, but I got to quite a few. Below is a link to my Flick Slideshow of my walking adventure. Click on the "view fullscreen" icon at the lower right (arrows point out) for the best viewing experience.

Have fun now...hope you have a wonderful time and I hope my post has helped in some small way.... ya' all come back soon...enjoy the show
James

The following images are of two pair of Cardinals in different parts of the marsh.
The first two like to congregate on a stump and the second pair are in a dark pocket. The second pair have their nest completed. I'll keep an eye on it.
One of the males is banded and the only one like that, I've ever seen in the marsh.


Really nice job Joe...

Rob, welcome to UHH, this probably doesn't fully answer your question, but try this link.

In the introductory blurb it says:
"- One simple technique that allows you to use your flash in a way that makes your pictures look as if flash wasn't used at all. (The opposite of deer-in-headlights amateurish pictures you would normally get when using flash.) So if you hate using flash because it makes your pictures look bad, then you really need to learn this."

Searching for flash or portions of the above text give hundreds of hits. No way to find what it referenced.

On Trey Ratcliff's site, the "ad" for this forum says"1 Weird Photography trick" but the link just goes to the Intro. Blurb.
Again, no way to find it.

It would be nice if the text contained a link to the subject.

Does anyone have enough information to find the above topics?
Thanks,
Rob

Its been quite windy the past few days, and I hesitated to go out to take pics of the tulips growing in the yard. Around noon, today, it seemed like the wind died down enough so I went out and shot these pics. I had to be patient when the breezes blew and waited for the flowers to either stop moving or slow down. Most of the shots were taken at 1/1000" and above.

I shot these HH using a Canon EOS 50D w/EF 17-85mm lens; Av f5.6; ISO 200. Exif intact. PP w/PSE8.

Enjoy them. Comments welcome.
