Return to Glass Mountain

i-gizmo: clouds

Canon 20D Canon 17-40 L @17mm f/11 1/100

Thanks to everyone who commented on yesterday's post!
I went back to the building this afternoon, and found the
reflected colors & patterns even more dramatic than
yesterday. I did some minor levels and curves adjustments
on these, but no other color manipulations. For the image
above, the point of view is similar to yesterday's image,
although I've shown a bit more of the building vertically.
For the image below, I moved back to create a composition
of diamonds and hexagons.

Love the geometry in these three photos, but the reflection in the top one is really spectacular. Great shots.

The topmost shot is definitely my fav! Just shows that its worth going back for the same shot repeatedly - even when you have a great shot to begin with!

I wasn't moved enough by the original to comment, but the most recent one is spectacular. I often tell myself to go back and reshoot certain subjects, although I rarely do. The reflected clouds are amazing.

It seems like the possibilities with this building are endless. I love the way that you capture the contrasting shades in the different panels. I looked at your past work on here, and I'm really impressed. I will be checking back a lot to see your new stuff. I appreciate your comments on my photos, also. I have had several people ask me to teach them photography, and, while I feel pretty inadequate to be teaching anyone, I hope that my blog will help a few to understand the basics. Your photographs illustrate perfectly something that I am always telling people: find your own vision, and capture things in your own unique way.

These are well worth the return visit. They are both fantastic shots (much better than the previous day's shot imho) both with two different feels to them. You have much better reflections in them both and a a nicer shape composition in the bottom shot.

Wow. Nothing to say other than -- really, REALLY cool shot.

The second looks more interesting geometrically, but the first is the more spectacular of the two for me, looks as if the building is transparent.

As others said, goes to show the value of shooting a familiar scene under different conditions.

Holy crap. These are even better than the one before it! The clouds! The saturated colors and symmetry! Incredible.

Help me Dude, I'm lost.

I was searching for Elvis and somehow ended up in your blog, but you know I'm sure I saw Elvis in the supermarket yesterday.

No honest really, he was right there in front of me, next to the steaks singing "Love me Tender".

He said to me (his lip was only slightly curled) "Boy, you need to get yourself a shiny, new plasmatv to go with that blue suede sofa of yours.

But Elvis said I, In the Ghetto nobody has a plasma tv .

Dude I'm All Shook Up said Elvis. I think I'll have me another cheeseburger then I'm gonna go home and ask Michael Jackson to come round and watch that waaaay cool surfing scene in Apocalypse Now on my new plasma tv .

And then he just walked out of the supermarket singing. . .

"You give me love and consolation,
You give me strength to carry on "

Strange day or what? :-)
