  1. You can see the plans for the walkway here, across from the farmers market... http://www.urbanohio.com/forum2/index.php/topic,2289.msg451924.html#msg451924 In other news, work continues on the building next to this walkway, 1938 Euclid. Storefront glass went up last week. I will try to get pictures to post next time I am there.
  2. ^Thanks. No filter on the lens although I recently got a UV filter (I'm told alot of people just leave it on their lens at all times and it protects the lens as well).
  3. I took that at 44 seconds f/36. I do like the starburst effect, just not always. I will definitely have to try the trick with the window screen.
  4. Can anyone shed some light on how to minimize the "sunburst" effect of the lights. should I be using a certain filter? am I using an incorrect aperture?
  5. I am pretty sure the Barking Spider in University Circle is dog friendly - at least in the summer months.
  6. Found one for $5.88 on Amazon. Thanks for the help. Now I know that when I buy neutral density filters I need 52mm.
  7. I see. It says 52. I guess that makes sense. No big deal on the filters. I got some cheap ones off amazon for $10. Thanks for the help.
  8. I have a D3000 with a 55 mm stock lens. I bought some zeikos 55 mm filters but can for the life of me figure out how to get them on the lens. Do I need some sort of attachment? Am I missing something here?

    I hope this is OK to post..... So since I was a kid, my parents have these blocks that say "Merry Christmas" and when we were kids my brothers and I thought it was funny to change it to this. And as a Christmas tradition, I still change it to this every year. Merry Christmas Everyone!!!!!
  10. It really is too bad that the staircase is no longer in service. I wonder what it would cost to fix it. I keep forgetting to get pictures of the northernmost bridge. Maybe that will be my next field trip.
  11. I took some additional pics in light of the stairway discussion and the brick on the underside of the bridges.
  12. The staircase is still there, I think on the middle of the 3 bridges. It is closed with a fence blocking it off. It would be nice if it was able to be put back into service.
  13. [*]This crime didn't happen in Cleveland [*]Cedar Avenue is not in Cleveland Heights. It's Cedar Rd. Crappy reporting Agree on Cedar Ave, but where does it say that it happened in Cleveland? Either way, it's a shame. They need to shut that place down, I think it has had plenty of troubles over the years.
  14. Wow - I am an idiot. Especially considering I was involved in a study a few years ago and I did some research on these bridges. You would think I would have remembered the correct name. Oh well. Mods - can you change the title of the thread? Thanks.
  15. Northern Italy IIRC. Looks like Cinque Terre (N Italy). Do a google image search and you will see some pretty great looking towns. I am considering a trip there next year.
  16. isn't their webpage cincinnati.com? they have had a very large article about this all day.
  17. Great idea, makes me think of this... YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

    Agreed. I also find it so interesting to see a building like this and imagine how it used to be and I like seeing what is left in the building such as the mail boxes.

    No way!! that building was first on my list for urban exploration once I got a camera (which I did last week).
  21. Probably a little late, how about a fundraising drive specifically for a BK salary increase. I know I'd committ $100 a year for 5 years. If you can get 10,000 alumni to do the same, it would be $1m a year.
  22. Crosstown shootout is this sunday. Winking Lizard in downtown Cleveland is hosting a watch party for UC alumni. Anyone know if it is a joint party with XU alumni assn.? I usually get together with an XU buddy of mine and I doubt he would want to go if he was the only XU fan surrounded by UC fans.

    So far in my limited use, I don't like Photobucket - too many ads and it freezes when I try to upload pics. Are there any other good free sites?
