1. Absolutely stunning photos! I love how you’ve captured the frenzied motion of the city and the feeling of isolation at the same time.

   • Thanks. It was surreal up there. 🙂

2. I like the one “reflection”. I wonder what it would look like if you took out the cityscape in the background and perhaps left a thin line of light on the horizon?

   • Not sure. I suppose I can try it. Thanks for the suggestion.

3. These are splendid city lights pictures. Really, really pretty. For me, lights do not make an impression. Don’t know what other viewers will think but these impressed me more than the other city light photographs that you have previously posted. I like the tree that you included in the some of the shots.

   • Thanks. Yes, I like to add in something other than just the skyline. There are so many skyline pictures. 🙂 Thanks.

4. All of it’s gorgeous. Something about Reflection, though, just makes me feel a great sense of tranquility. Beautiful photography as always!

   • Thanks Greg. 🙂 You made my night.

5. What a fabulous pics! I love them all. Thanks for sharing!

   • Thank you so much! I am glad you like them Sigoese.

10. Wonderful images Seth.

    • Thank you Don.

11. you’re a genius with that camera, man 🙂

      • honesty is my greatest virtue 🙂

12. Wonderful images, Seth.

13. “Reflection” and “Sparkle” : Absolutely amazing. Love!!!

    Love your description from your vantage point as well.

    • Thanks so much. It’s a beautiful scene.

      • You’re welcome! Really enjoy your work!

14. Reblogged this on The White Tiger's Page.

15. thank you for taking us all with you to all parts of the world where ever you go through these photos:) otherwise how could any one go and see all this beauty of lights in night

    • Thanks Tanveer for coming along.

16. Wow!! Stunning. Beautiful. “Reflection” belongs in a museum. just wonderful!!

    • Well, I don’t know about museum… okay if you insist. 🙂 Thanks, glad you like them.

17. Powerful images, Sethsnap…what camera do you use for night photos? Yours are absolutely fabulous! I want to be like you when I grow up!! Truly lovely…

    • I use the Nikon D3100. I used the standard 18-55mm lens and the 55-200mm as well.

      • Thanks for info…have a good one…

18. Nice shots. Love city’s at night. I remember driving thru Cincinnati once when I was young….Dad would never stop of course. At the time WKRP was still on the air….and I had the theme song running through head.

    • That’s funny.. When I moved here, all I could think about was that theme song. We must be about the same age because when that show was on the air I was too young to watch it but I still knew the theme song.

      • I was preteen or so? Bit old for me too….Mom was trying to keep my sister and I from fighting…so she did the “look kids, there’s the bridge from WKRP”…..

19. The Chamber of Commerce should purchase a few of those. I went to grad school in Cincinnati (’82-83) and although it has changed a lot, I still love visiting. Great shots…RJV, Aiken, SC

    • Thanks! Which school? UC or Xavier? Both great schools.

20. these are absolutely gorgeous photo’s! you can feel that crispness when you look at the pictures. When the snow has nestled everything and the air is just right- thanks for sharing these 🙂

    • You are welcome. Thanks for you nice words.

21. a well lit city there

    • Thanks. 🙂 🙂

22. You have posted pictures from this location before right? Some of the skyline looks familiar. But this set of photos are simply amazing, beyond anything I’ve seen on your blog so far. They are so sharp and crisp and alluring. One of the best skyline pics I have ever saw. And my absolute fav is the tree reflection. THAT is a great picture. Definitely in my top fav of ALL your pictures.

    • Actually, no. I’ve posted pictures from Mt Adams which is on the other side of Cincinnati. So, same skyline but different location. Cincinnati is surrounded by hills. Glad you like these. Hope all is well with you.

23. Of all the pics I’ve seen from Devou, these may be the first nighttime ones … fabulous!

    • Thanks! It’s a beautiful place. 🙂

24. I have long been a fan of urban night photography. There is something magic about it.

    • I agree! Thanks for your comment.

25. Great shots! I have only been brave enough to do that once… And Dallas is nowhere near as visually interesting as your fair city. 😉

    • Thanks. Dallas has an interesting skyline. 🙂

      • It’s nothing but concrete and glass. (blech) I long for hills and bridges and water. This is why I travel. 😉

26. I think Cincinnati is so underrated. I’m from around there. Great shots!

    • I agree. 🙂 What part of Cincinnati are you from?

      • I went to school in Oxford! But I am originally from northern Ohio.

27. Love the pictures Seth, the contrast you’ve managed to achieve is beautiful and the framing with the trees, makes the skylines more in touch with nature.

    • Thanks for your kind words. I am glad you like the photos.

28. I went to Cincinnati for a conference and thought it was beautiful. Your photos certainly capture that beauty!

    • Thank you Debbie.

29. Great blog, awesome photography! Got to say I’m a little jealous of your strong following tho! 😉

30. Hi Seth,
    Does Cincinnati still have Light up Cincinnati?

    • I am not sure. There is a light up thing at the Zoo and they have a tree and ice skating rink at Fountain Sq.

      • Sounds so beautiful!

31. These are some beautiful pictures

    • Thanks ozziemarizan

32. These are all great. I love “A tree’s view.” One can only imagine what it has seen 🙂

    • Thanks Mike.

33. Saw your the larger version of your last photo (aka Sharp), that’s quite excellent work. Also, nice catch of the city’s reflection on the river.

    • Thanks David. 🙂

34. The tree photos are my favorite! I have never been there, but it looks beautiful at night. Good job on the nighttime photography as well. 🙂

    • Thanks Tori!

35. Thanks for the “like” and thanks for sharing the awesome pictures.

    • You are welcome. Thanks for your return visit.

36. Great pictures. I live about twenty miles northwest of Cincinnati so I’ve seen plenty of photos of the city. Yours are among the best I’ve seen.

    • Thanks so much Doug.
