​

This presentation will feature images taken from rooftops, decks, piers and bridges, helicopters, and some recent drone work. Steve will discuss his favorite techniques, including the benefits of returning frequently to certain photogenic locations. He will show and discuss his urban photo work, and review strategies for getting best quality results.  Several photo location sweet spots will be explored.
