Transamerica (no, not the movie)

[SteveZ]

Here's the Transamerica Building of San Franscisco, juxtaposed with the city's flat iron building.

I'm still trying to figure out what that shadow or discoloration is about 2/3 up the top of the building. At first I thought it was a result of slopping processing but I checked and it was on my original RAW file. A shadow perhaps?

could it be a window washing scaffolding?

Or a cloud shadow ?

Nice shot anyway :)

A cloud shadow? Yes, maybe!

This brings back memories of driving round SF - at least I did so while playing Midtown Madness 2. ;) :lol:

Great contrast of old and new architecture, I love that place!!

Looks like a strange cloud shadow!

I love your pic!

Great colours and amazing sky!

Nice shot Steve, love the juxtaposition and the colours.....I also think the shadow is from cloud as you can see a similar effect on the building in the background.

Thanks,Andy, I do too, I'd move there in a heartbeat if I could.

Great composition. It's definately a wall hanger.

I like just about everything about this image. The colors are fantastic and the lines are crisp and clear. Definitely a great job here.
