It was long overdue, but I finally made a Texas trip to do some more cityscape photography. Going into this trip, I knew this was going to be a very short trip since I knew I wasn’t going to have much that I needed to cover in Dallas. I decided to conduct an experiment on this trip and see if I can get this trip knocked out within a 2 - 3 day period. I am probably going to end up doing this in the future for a couple of cities that I don’t need to spend as much time in.
The first night that I arrived in Dallas, there was a massive thunderstorm so there wasn’t much that I could do that night. I ended up waking up at 1:00 AM in the morning at the hotel that I stayed at because someone accidentally pulled the alarm and woke up everyone in the hotel.
The next day, I decided to explore the city and get a feel for things. I ended up heading to the Reunion Tower since I had to get the observation deck photos. I spent a good amount of time up there getting sunset, dusk, and night shots of the city. Once that was wrapped up, I went after the city skyline shots from one of the many bridges in Dallas. The thing I enjoyed about Dallas bridges was how pedestrian friendly they were. Made it a lot easier to get some great skyline shots.
The last day in Dallas I explored the Deep Ellum district and tried some Texas barbecue. My standards for barbecue is now ruined. Texas barbecue is undefeated and some of the best I have had in some time. For my last evening in Dallas, I ventured down to an overpass off the 30 freeway to photograph a time-lapse and work on some light trails shots. After I completed that I spot, I spent the rest of the night over by the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge to get some night photographs.
Overall, I am satisfied with what I was able to get from this trip. For a brief trip, everything turned out really well.
