Around the world

[august23]

Ok here's how it works....we start with the USA, anywhere in the USA, and we go EAST. Whoever posts the first picture is the starting point. Say the picture was taken in California, the next picture has to be from one of the surround eastern states. If its from a city or country in Europe, it has to be in a city or country to the nearby East. Idk how well this will work out, but figured I'll see what happens. Good luck!

Let's start with St. Louis.

Photo is atop the large hill at Cahokia Mounds, a prehistoric Native settlement.

Here's my try: Indiana east of Illinois. This one is a barn on I-65 just north of Lafayette.

Can I go straight to Japan?

[Sonic Infidel]

Sure! It's quite a jump, but we can get Europe, Africa and the Middle East on the next trip.

[Sonic Infidel]

Well...where's that Japan photo you promised us?

Wow...that's jaw-dropping...

How long was your exposure?

[-kk-]

athena, is that taken from an office block?

[Athena]

Thanks SI - I can't remember the ss - I took it a couple years ago and this is the "save for web" copy I had on my website, so no exif. I'll check the original when I get home later this month.

kk - It was taken from a hotel room. ;) Petronas Towers on the right, KL Tower on the left.

[Sonic Infidel]

Wow...I'm blown away by all of the photos you guys have posted. I clearly need to do some more traveling and a LOT more learning about photography.

[4g63photo]

Excuse the old picture. Here is one of Singapore. It was with a P and S camera. I never realized the distortion on the building on the right.

okay, now probably just the right time to post Japan.

Tokyo Tower in B & W

[Sonic Infidel]

Wow...they totally copied Eiffel...

Nice pic, though!

[thedjo]

I think Japan made a smaller version of Eiffel.

A new Tokyo Tower is planned though, and it looks nothing like eiffel, more like Seattle's Space Needle

It has it's ups and downs - trust me. ;) I do count myself as very lucky though. :)
How long was your exposure?
I'm back at home and found the originals. I have a set of 4 pictures that are all pretty much the same ranging from 4.5 to 8 seconds. Not sure exactly which one it is. :o

The obligatory Malaysian Petronas Twin Tower night shot:

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/219/461253668_248956921f_o.jpg

F/18, 15 secs, 18mm of the kit lens, shot inches from the ground.

Straightened the image first. Tried to correct perspective, but it was a bit hopeless (maybe the angle adds to the "imposing" factor).

[Athena]

hmmm - I thought we were travelling east?

[Patrick.TeSeng]

Sorry about that, thought we were still in Asia:o

Need pics further East then.

[Athena]

It's still a great photo of the towers. :D Do you have anything farther east than Tokyo?

[Patrick.TeSeng]

Unfortunately all of my pics further east are ones taken in California and Minnesota, USA and they're nothing to write home about :)

I'm sure someone will post something still within the Pacific rim.

[thedjo]

must get somebody from Down under or New Zealand, i think that is the next place east of tokyo.

[Athena]

I've only been to the west coast of Oz, so I can't help out. :(

[tipk99]

It's my first ever POTN picture post! Hope the jump to Seattle is OK.

Thanks

Tom
