Skyscrapers

[JeffR]

The best of a batch I shot recently on my way to a lunch appointment downtown. The light was great that day. The first one has a sort of 'Sky Captain & the World of Tomorrow' feel to it, which I liked.

1. WOW some nice shots from the bottom of the urban canyon....

lol they almost made me dizzy

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[JeffR]

9. LOL

It is funny how 'up' can read as 'down', isn't it?

[Adsos Letter]

2. Ah, JeffR, my man!!! One of my favorite subjects...

...they're gorgeous...and no "moire" effect.

Thanks for sharing these!

:D

[JeffR]

8. Thanks. I think I got lucky with moire on these.

Made up for the stiff neck!

3. I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really wish folks would ....

... but the basic information in their profiles so I could figure out what "here" means without posting or PMing.

(sigh) I understand concerns about privacy but ... well ... oh, well.

:hi:

Nice photos of the downtown (of whatever city it is that I just don't keep track of for every DUer from reading their posts and making notes - which seems sooooo obsessive).

6. It's Toronto

an expatriate's dream.

4. Did you get a new Camera?

Jus' askin. That 2nd one rocks. Friggin' awesome. All good but 2nd if my fave.

7. An XTi, though that wasn't my first choice.

13. Bummer

I understand wanting not to walk with the Canon/Nikon masses. Get something different. But.... I think you made a good decision. Not that I'm biased or anything.
:evilgrin:

17. I agree about the second one...

...the colors are just about perfect.

5. Nice Series

I especially like the last one with the white clouds moving over head, great contrast of colors here.

[JeffR]

10. Thanks!

I wish I'd had more time that day. Great light and a great sky.

11. Nice. If you like interesting architecture (I do), check out Chicago. - n/t

[JeffR]

12. I adore Chicago

and damn! The last time I was there, I was without a camera. It's a terrible place to be without a camera, because there's never more than 5 minutes that go by that you wish you didn't have one with you.

Also, genuine Chicago deep-dish pizza is the closest I'm ever going to get to heaven. And I grew up with the best seafood and soul food on the planet. Damn, I'm hungry all of a sudden...

14. View from the top.

I actually caught San Francisco on a clear day here.

16. Those are wonderful

I just downloaded a bunch I took in NYC. I don't normally do architecture or city stuff but it's NYC so what can you do? Maybe I'll post them.

I love the light and reflections on your buildings, particularly in the last one. The composition on the third one is terrific.

19. Please post some NYC shots!

I haven't been there in years and I miss it. And NanceGreggs is from there and never gets tired of seeing New York.

Thanks for your kind comments.
