Description
Captured on my first visit to the all glass structure, 5/16/09, early in the morning, about 1.5 miles from my archaic abode.
Dramatically digifiddled, and verifiably ZOOM worthy.
My neck hurt after this photo shoot.
In playing around, I went black and white with a red filter on the bottom pic.
Au revoir, thankx for the peek, and for any and all favs and noncritical comments.

Fantastic collage Harry, I really like what you did with the variation

Great composition! My neck hurts just watching TV so I avoid looking up too much!

Love all the blue shades in the first shot. I really like it when you can see reflections in tall buildings. Wish they were all built like this.

Wonderful POV and capture, Harry; what a gorgeous building! I love the lines of it!

Very cool capture and what a great POV. The bottom one looks great too but not as happy as the top one. I love blue skies as we don't get nearly enough of them down here.

Fantastic shot, superb POV. I like the monochrome variation too.

Great pov, I wonder if that is a camera on top looking down at you.

I understand your neck hurting after shoots like these, I get that often with high rises. Also, I think we can all safely say that Andrea---though she appreciates these shots to be sure---is much happier living where she lives than in cities like LA or Chicago. I think the very thought of being around structures like this sends her into primal terror, lol. But about the shots: Your angle is cut off to show the jutting angular nature of these glass-steel structures, and how they seem to harmonize with clear skies. The sheer light mullions were no doubt chosen by the designers to create that architectural chess-board look. And your angle makes it all the more dramatic, esp as the glass is the same hue as the sky---so those metal beams could be in plain air, in a way. (More intentions of the architects.) The little bit of cloud in the lowest right-side pane is a fine inclusion, giving us a little variation; and your b&w makes it more of a spooky soaring sheet of glass, to me almost a halloween image. (I think I'm the only one who feels that, lol). You mentioned a red filter: It's amazing how red, when combined with b&w, can enrich the b&w without taking anything from it. It makes it 'deeper' somehow, which is what happened here. This is more in your studies of form & shape; and it appears that---because LA doesn't have too many areas of myriad high buildings crammed next to each other---these shots can get an open-space feel that would be impossible where I live. And you take advantage of that in your shots. This is very minimal, very modern, and the designers would have been happy with just that. Fun & fine work.

Great POV and a stark difference between each shot. I see the spy camera on the roof edge so they were most likely photographing you also. Save your neck and just lay down on the sidewalk.
