I like the first 2, especially #1. While I see where you're going with 3 & 4, they're not my forte.

Kevin I like first the best, but if the people were a bit lightened I think it would be perfect!!

#1 and 3 for me, specially the first.

I agree, that one would have benefited from a fill-flash, even if I'd just popped up the on-camera flash, but I always forget that it's there.

Interesting cityscapes, #1 is cool, and normally I like buildings to have a footing even if it's only an inch of sidewalk I sortof like #4 the best for some reason, can't quite put my finger on exactly why though.

One more from that day. Taken with the 50/1.7 at f/11, 1/125 sec., ISO 800. I even resisted the urge to correct the perspective in this one (that is to say, I tried it but didn't like it ). As before, click on the image to view the larger file.

The contrast of the two buildings is great.

Hi Kevin,

The last frame is very nice. I like the contrast and the perspective. Lately I've been looking into many movies and photos to see how they wanted to see a highrise-city through a lens, be it a movie camera or a still camera. The most impressive shots were when the perspectives were left alone to their own apparences and not corrected. Somehow, they are not very concerned about getting tilt&shift, correction lenses.


Thanks for sharing,

Movies have been getting away from the more classical compositions, introducing more distorted views, camera shake, and generally more "gritty" perspectives. I was raised on movies so old that the camera usually stayed level, always only panned, never zoomed, tilted, or swooped over a scene. The compositions were exceedingly classical, with carefully placed elements and actors, so that the most important person to a scene or the strongest character was always made visually tallest. Think "Lawrence of Arabia," or "Forbidden Planet."
