I have a little thing for glass domed roofs, shoot looking straight up, and thought I should start a thread for such images.

This is my latest, from Glasgow Royal Infirmary. I got this one shot before the jobsworth stopped me:

(SOOC)


I also had it published in the Glasgow evening paper:

Graeme,
Great shot and congratulations too on picture of the day selection.

Do you want to confine to looking up or looking up at roofs or looking up at glass domes?
I do have some looking up shots but not necessarily of glass domes but cupolas made of other material.

Nice shot, and congrats on making the paper!

Any dome will do!

And thanks, guys!

The Basilica di Santa Maria del Fiore (aka Duomo in Florence). Vasari's fresco begun in 1572,
and completed by Federico Zuccaro. It was dark inside and the dome was about 100 meters.
I see everyone bending over backward trying to capture the shot. I laid it on the ground, put
it on 2 second timer, turned off stabilization, let it go for 8 seconds at f16, at 28mm focal length
on A900. The lens was 28-135 Minolta. The skew in the perspective is due to the fact that I was
not allowed to be in the absolute center of the dome. I made quite a spectacle trying to kneel next
to camera, click and lean back, sweating crazy but I guess I had a better shot of the dome.

Well planned shot Sury. It looks great

Great shot Graeme!

I made some of these in Rome. Posted them before, but they fit the theme nicely!

Wow - those Italians do great ceilings!

Especially those several hundreds of years ago

These are amazing images! I will be posting more soon, but nothing like these!

A local department store:

Makr, Wow. You reached a new ceiling (height) there with those shots.

Graeme, nice shot.
