I love the interesting perspective, Daniel ... :)
Makes me reminisce about my times spent in the SF Bay area!

Thanks, DM. I feel very fortunate to live here. There are so many pictures of the Transamerica Pyramid, and I thought this was a different take on it. BTW, I have been enjoying your photos that you've been posting lately.
Take care,
Daniel

I immediately recognized the top of that building, it's always in the sample photos in camera evaluations on dcresource.com. It's fine details are perfect for checking sharpness near the edge of the frame. On a poor camera lens, it will make your eyes water!

Hey, you are right. Both buildings are there, but from a completely different angle. This one is taken from the park across the street from the Chinatown Holiday Inn.

Daniel-

You really scored with this unique and beautiful photo of the Trans-America Building. The number of really positive comment and compliments are a testament to how good the photo really is.

Congratulations!

Nicely done Daniel! :D The Empire State Building model says much about the architectural process of getting a design off the ground, convincing the client of the power of the finishing touch during the design stage when all the time in reality the model would be mostly hidden from view.

Thanks, DD. You are right; from the ground you would never know it was there. I'm amazed that they can even build these monstrosities in the first place. I guess those finishing touches are not so much about function as a personal mark on a piece of art.
Take care,
Daniel

Nicely seen - funnily enough, the buildings look more like models when you don't know the context!

Thanks, Lizzie. Interesting point. In the old days, they used to literally make models out of balsa wood and other materials, now it's all done on the computer. Things change.
Take care,
Daniel
