WTAE-TV Pittsburgh debuted a brand new set on September 4 featuring two 126 inch by 54 inch panoramic duratrans photographs of Pittsburgh that I took back in June. Each original photo averaged 24000×10500 pixels in dimension for clarity that is finely resolved at 10.5 feet.
Here are the originals along with the cropped equivalents that are employed on the new set.

"Pittsburgh Pieces" for June 2006 - These photos were taken during a week I was home in June. I went to a couple Pirate games, and took a flight over the city (again), and photographed plenty of other subjects. |

My brother and I went up to the West End Overlook to photograph the sunset. Instead, storms moved in just east of the city and provided spectacular results. |

I worked in the heart of downtown Pittsburgh (Ending up in the US Steel Building). And I took many pictures of the area -daylight and nighttime - But none of them held a candle to what you have done. Your pictures are the best that I have seen of that great city. Thank you for the thrill. Keep up the great work!

BEEN GONE SINCE 1966 FIRST CHICAGO THAN ST. LOUIS. NO COMPARISON TO THE BURG. GO BACK TO VISIT ONCE A YEAR AND THE FIRST THING I DO IS DRINK IN THE VIEW FROM THE FORT PITT TUNNELS. FIND IT HARD TO LEAVE EACH TIME I VISIT. THE BURG THERE IS NO PLACE LIKE HOME. LOVE YOU FOREVER. GO STEELERS

Mt. Oliver is where I spent most of my time in Pittsburgh. Living in retirement in Chiang Mai Thailand, but Pittsburgh will always be my hometown. Thanks for the great pictures!

I’m homesick looking at these pics. I moved to tampa 3 years ago, and the only thing keeping me from moving back to the steel city is my girlfriend. I might just break up with that jagoff and go home. WORD!

I am a graphic designer who works at a photography studio and you are without a doubt the best photographer I have ever seen for scenic photography!! Your photos are awesome and I plan on forwarding your website to all of my out of town relatives.
Can’t wait to see more.
Thanks

Your pics are spectacular! I moved to Tampa eight years ago, and I still get homesick for the ‘burgh quite often. I laughed out loud at mark’s comment!! THAT is what the sunshine in Florida could never replace…. ‘jagoffs’ and people who know exactly what that means
September 26th, 2007 at 8:32 am
Being in the military, I dont get many chances to come back to my REAL home,the burgh. I love looking at these pictures,but I get extremely homesick. Awesome work.
September 27th, 2007 at 9:59 am
Wonderful photos as usual!!! Continue to take those outstanding photos that I love to look at and use as my screensaver.
September 27th, 2007 at 10:35 pm
pictures are beautiful.

I grew up in Pgh & moved to FL in ‘99 for 18 years. Just relocated to the LA area for our 1st grandchild. He already has black & gold outfits. My desk & home are full of Pgh/Steeler chachkies & photos. Nothing beats the warmness & friendliness & originality of Pittsburghers!!!! Pgh will always be home & I try to get there once a year - miss the Burgh terribly!!!!
October 1st, 2007 at 10:30 pm
These were magnificent.. Can’t wait to visit someday soon from Dallas…
October 3rd, 2007 at 8:10 pm
I grew up on Mount Washington, then we never realized the beauty of the Golden Triangle! We do now. Thanks for the opportunity to once again appreciate Pixburgh. Paul

Like Don I was raised in Homestead, and a avid photographer. Those are awesome photographs.
October 4th, 2007 at 6:23 pm
I get homesick everytime you put up new pics. Nothing beats being a true Pittsburgher. I left Pittsburgh but Pittsburgh has never left me! Living here in Filthydelphia I realize how fortunate I am to be from the greatest city in the Commonwealth!
October 5th, 2007 at 8:31 pm
GREAT PICTURES !………Left Pgh in 1948……as a repeat Navy wife…….have lived in FL/VA/VA/TX and now AZ
still keep in touch with Pgh relatives……great city…..
October 6th, 2007 at 11:09 pm
These are great shots!
Especially interesting for me, I could have looked out at you when you shot this photo from one of the rooms I lived in at Point Park College!!
October 8th, 2007 at 3:33 pm
Love your pictures, keep your site in my favorites so I can look at them now and then. Left the Burgh in 1977, moved to Texas, married a Texan. Miss Pittsburgh terribly and all my family still there. Nothing compares to your hometown. Love the Steelers, watch all the games with Directv. My first grandbaby will be wearing Steeler stuff! You can take me out of the Burgh but you can’t take the Burgh out of me!!!!!

I love this city, something about it so unbelievably amazing… it’s hard to put into words. I lived here when I went to college and met my boyfriend in the burgh’. I moved to Atlanta almost 3 years ago and if I didn’t have the job of my dreams I would move back in a heartbeat. Atlanta freaking sucks compared to the burgh’, I have no clue why they call it HOTLANTA.
October 17th, 2007 at 3:28 pm
My wife and I moved to Illinois 25yrs. ago. don’t get a chance to come back to the burgh’ very often. But everytime we drive out of the fort pitt tunnel,the view is still spectacular, still the best at night. No matter how long you have been gone, it will still called home.
October 23rd, 2007 at 7:12 pm
Like most of the others leaving comments I moved away from the Pittsburgh area several years ago. It is a shame that so many of us left, on the other hand you cannot thow a stone in any area of the country and not hit a Steeler fan, so we are never alone. You have done a wonderfull job of capturing the beauty of that magnificent downtown skyline.
Thank you for doing such a great job.

I’m currently spending three months in England as a student, and I miss Pittsburgh so much. I stumbled on your site, and the pictures made me smile so much. Thanks for reminding me of home!

You know, I’ve lived all over the place in this fantastic country - DC/MD, Illinois, Colorado, California - and I’m a transplant to the area, but Pittsburgh is one of my favorite cities. I find myself being it’s #1 proponent whenever it comes up in conversation. In fact, my girlfriend and I like it so much, we’re moving there in less than a week. Woo-hoo! All you Pittsburghers who moved away - for shame. There is no place I’ve found in all my travels that has such a friendly, eclectic vibe in such a compact package. Y’all should move back home; this town is poised on the brink of a modern-day renaissance and I want to be there to see it!

Matt can I get large copies of these somewhere (suitable for framing)? Thanks
November 4th, 2007 at 2:54 pm
What a magnificent looking city !
November 5th, 2007 at 12:01 pm
Your pictures definitely let me go home a lot more than I actually can. Couldn’t imagine calling another place home.
November 6th, 2007 at 3:43 pm
Always a pleasure looking at your photos!
November 30th, 2007 at 11:19 pm
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Mark, your comment cracked me up!!!!!!!! Just moved to the DC area in August. It’s barely December and I’m ready to move back already. These pictures definitely help with that decision. Don’t take the Burgh for granted people! You’ll miss it once you’re gone.

I too have lived all over the country. From Manhattan to Sanfrancisco and points in between. One thing I can say without hesitation is simply this.. There is no major city in the country with the amenities , culture, natural beauty , universities and affordability like Pittsburgh. Americas Best Kept Secret is on the verge of becoming Americas Premiere City. If you haven’t visited this amazing city put it on your list. Pittsburgh is now my home and I have no plans to leave it. Welcome to Fascinating Pittsburgh!!!!!!

I moved to Atlanta 7 years ago and believe me, there is no place like the ‘Burgh. Guess you have to leave it to really appreciate it. Trying hard to get back HOME!!
May 6th, 2008 at 7:45 am
I need to put city skylines on my client’s web site. (operationalriskgroup.com)
What is your rental price for a web size image?
Thank you for displaying your creative work.

Moved away from the Burgh about 30 years ago. Although I get back there to visit friends and relatives every few years, I would move back to the Burgh on a heartbeat if I had the opportunity.Your photos are first class. Thanks for allowing me to wax nostalgic.
May 27th, 2008 at 8:20 pm
Your photographs are breathtaking. I love coming here to see the beauty of my adoptive city, and I always tell people to come here when I want them to know what the heck I’m talking about. “Pittsburgh a beautiful city?” Now they know.
June 17th, 2008 at 9:42 am
I left Pittsburgh almost 5 years ago and I miss the wonderful city so much, these Pictures are so beautiful!! Florida is nice but it is not the Burgh! I love coming through the tunnels and seeing the best city in the world!! These photos are really first class!!
July 3rd, 2008 at 11:47 pm
Left the greatest football city in the world three years ago and the pictures are good to look at when your feeling a little homesick
