Empire State Plaza, Albany NY V2.0

I went back here last night to take some night shots. This place never gets old as it's a break from the mountains of Vermont for me. The last shot is a combined image of where I stood about 3 months earlier in May, I am surprised it was so close to the exact spot.

Taken with Canon EOS 30D and Canon 10-22 lens.


1.

the first is insane!

I love the first and last shot. Very creative on the last one. Good job.

Thank you both!

Awesome shots.

Do you have one of the last image where it's not slit vertically but still have the different reflections? EI the left side but continue that idea for the whole image.

good old smalbany, i use to work at the cultural education center in picture three, nice job using the sculpture to block the stage. great pictures i have similar from the evening taken from almost the exact same spots.

The first and last ones are excellent.

Thanks. Thats all I did with the last one was put it together like that, I didnt make anything else with it. I was trying to "fade" the two images together but it looked too weird.

Awesome, is there an observation deck on the roof of the tallest tower?

It's an awesome shot. Give that a try if you like. Night image on top and day image on bottom. I think it would have that "what is that" factor to it. Make you think kinda thing .

The first one is my favorite, the black water is pretty cool.

Thanks a lot guys!!!

Wow, nice photos - all of them! Not such a fan of the reposted sky water / black sky though.... almost just looks like the sky has been photoshopped black. But i'm looking at a 12" LCD laptop screen, so what do i know!!! I'm sure the effect is more stunning on a proper screen where the sky doesn't just look flat black. I DO really like the last of your original set, though, for both creative and technical reasons. Any chance you could try adjusting the curves such that the building at the center is the same shade of grey in each 1/2? I don't know if that's possible - might mean lots of distortion to the rest of each image, but it would add an object continuity between day and night.
well done. fun pics.

Nice shots I think #3 is my favorite. Very interesting edit on the last one very creative.
