I didn't know two years ago, when I did a test shot with my 10 stop ND filter, what I would do with it. I ended up with a busy Saturday afternoon motorway completely cleared of traffic. Cool I thought, one for the archives...
Searching for something else I stumbled across this motorway shot and then I had an idea; why not make it look all apocalyptic, so I had another go at doing that.. More layers than I've every used, with some textures for the road, and an inverted faux infra then super desaturated to finish. Then added my favourite stock figure, as a lone survivor heading to who knows where (well, to give you a clue, Junction 16, Stoke on Trent is the next turn off)?
Hyatt Regency San Francisco is a hotel located at the foot of Market Street and The Embarcadero in the financial district of San Francisco, California. The hotel is a part of the Embarcadero Center development by Trammell Crow, David Rockefeller, and John Portman.
The building was sold by its owner, Strategic Hotel Capital LLC, in January 2007 for close to US$200 million to Dune Capital Management and DiNapoli Capital Partners – roughly $250,000 for each of the hotel's 802 rooms.
The Regency Club Lounge was once the Equinox, a rooftop revolving restaurant, but is now a stationary elite club for certain hotel guests offering 360-degree views of the city and the bay.
The Hyatt Regency's atrium lobby served as the lobby of the Glass Tower in 1974's The Towering Inferno. Replicas of John Portman's trademark pill-shaped elevators were built for use in the film and are featured throughout, including in an extended sequence where one is lifted from the stricken tower by helicopter. The Hotel was also featured in the 1977 Mel Brooks Comedy High Anxiety, the film Telefon from 1977, and in Time After Time (1979 film), a tale of H.G. Wells chasing Jack The Ripper into the future of 1979.
As well as being a setting for numerous films, the lobby is itself inspired by a film. Architect John Portman has stated that its design was suggested to him by viewing the 1935 science fiction film Things to Come.
Ironopolis
Where alchemists
Were born
Below Cleveland’s hills
A giant blue dragonfly
Across the Tees
Reminds us every night
We built the world,
Every metropolis
Came from
Ironopolis.
