Downtown Memphis

[AirRocker]

Hello everyone. Just found this place about a week ago, and I love what I see so far. I think I'm gonna be spending way too much time here! :D

I took this shot last weekend, and I'd like to see what you guys think. Here's the data: XSi, 35mm, f/13, 15", ISO 200, JPEG, no PP.

All input welcome. ;) Thanks in advance...

Damn, where's the pyramid?

Also, welcome to the POTN.

As night shots go, yours is spectacular. Most night shots are taken too late at night. I think you found the exact lighting conditions necessary for a good nignt shot - that is, a healthy mixture of incandescent and twilight that allows them to compete on an equal footing.

beautiful pic, good timing and good location

Nice shot!! Like Bob said, the lighting really works!

Where did you shoot from? I may wanna try this location myself sometime ;)

[AirRocker]

Thanks for the kind words all.

Bob, the Pyramid would be to the north of where this shot was taken. I'm not sure of the best place to get a shot of the Pyramid without crossing the river and shoot back east from West Memphis, AR. But of course, the Pyramid isn't used any longer, and is not lit up at night anymore.

Jaten, this shot was taken from the rooftop of the Peabody Hotel. I've been downtown many times to shoot and it's one of my favorite locations. The top of the Peabody Place Parking garage is decent, and they also have a secondary (smaller) garage that offers some decent scenery. I'll dig through and see if I can find some from those garages to post as well.

Once again, thanks for the kind words. :)

What's up Greg, this is Kenny Malone.

The building on the bottom left draws my attention too much. Maybe do a tighter crop ?

Hey buddy. Long time no see. I'll drop you a PM later to catch up.

You know, I was messing with the pic over the weekend and decided that exact thing. Thanks for the tip!

I agree but the old bridge looks good in the background on the left.
