Europe, Netherlands, Noord Holland, Amsterdam, Zuid As, Gershwinplein, Amsterdam symphony towers (slightly cut)
Shot between the two starkly neo-modernist towers of the Amstredam Symphony (2009). One is a residential tower with luxury apartments (height: 105 meters high, 29 floors), the other an office tower (height 97 meters, 27 floors). The towers were designed by Pi de Bruijn.
This is number 114 of the Amsterdam and number 109 of the Minimails & explicit Graphism album.
I took this shot on my back at the base of the sculpture so I could get the whole thing in the frame.
One Hundred Foot Line, the 30.5-metre-tall sculpture by New York artist Roxy Paine, was acquired by the National Gallery of Canada. It stands behind the gallery on Nepean Point, National Capital Commission land, not far from the Samuel de Champlain statue.
"It's an imitation of nature at the scale of nature, in the context of nature," The sculpture, made of stainless steep pipes usually used in manufacturing, is part of Paine's "Dendroids" series of sculptures.

111 W 57th St (top), and its reflection.
“84-story, 1,428-foot (435-meter) tower … The thinnest skyscraper in the world with a width-to-height ratio of about 1:24”. [Legally,] an addition to Steinway Hall, a New York City designated landmark. … As of 2018, prices ranged from $16 million for a studio apartment to over $57 million for the duplex penthouse.”
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/111_West_57th_Street
Construction is complete, but the tower appeared unoccupied in September 2021.

In 2009 I took a photo of a pine tree looking straight up the trunk.
I loved the result, and have been collecting other peoples ones in my flickr galleries ever since.
Here's my latest attempt.
Now something completely different...
The grocery store where we shop has a beautiful, raised atrium roof which lets a lot of natural light into the store, making the shopping experience more pleasant.
The other day I realized it would make for an interesting photograph, so I took a couple of minutes to take a few shots with my iPhone 14 Pro Max.
The blue sky and white clouds can be seen through glass windows on the periphery of the 14-segmented roof structure.
It is located in the center of the store and is probably 40 feet above one's head.
Enjoy!
Better than I remember, this image really pops with a better sense of how to edit and what it should feel like. Project Buried Treasure is very rewarding when you can get the image you want vs the image you have!

The "Urban Light" art installation at LACMA, taken in blue hour before sunrise.
I was aiming to get a perfectly symmetrical shot, which isn't easy when the camera is super low and at a weird angle, but after this one attempt a security guard came running out to tell me no tripods were allowed. I briefly thought about laying on the ground, but it was very wet from having rained all night, so I settled for close!
Photo taken at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in Los Angeles, CA (USA).
I'm a sucker for those upright shots of rectangle courtyards. It's always a challenge to find the exact spot for the perfect symmetry. Being in a busy place like this palace in Siena during the holidays makes it even harder. Especially when you are working during daytime. But while visiting this beautiful Italian city I couldn't resist trying. So setting up the tripod in the centre of the yard. Ignoring all the staring faces and doing "my thing".
This result is a 5 exposure (-2,-1,0,1,2) blending for compensating/mitigating the harsh shadows and bright sunlit parts.
Enjoy!

This is a shot of the Lloyds Building in the City of London. The inside out nature of the building extends to the elevators and at night each one has 2 red lights underneath which makes for good potential for light trails. I had tried taking this shot from the pavement and although possible it does bring in a very bright light at the top. I noticed that an open basement area extended under the elevators and unlike other areas it did not have a private – no admittance sign. Tripod was set up and I spent nearly 20 minutes tucked away under the Elevators taking pictures until a Security Guard spotted me from above and shouted out that I needed permission so I moved on.
The picture was taken with a Sony A700 on a tripod with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle lens at 10mm. The image is comprised of a 3 shot HDR with shots subsequently layered on top to enhance the light trails.

I chose this format because I wanted to exclude surrounding buildings and focus on the interaction between the top of the tower and the clouds. Stratus clouds are essentially the same thing as fog, except the cloud base lies a few hundred meters above ground level.

Took this off the top of a bouncy double decker tour bus, caught the lens flare on this frame and decided to rock it. Typically I would avoid lens flare, but this was the best angle and I thought the flare added a point of interest and an aid to lead the eye through the composition, creating “movement” in what would otherwise be a static image.

Look up those coordinates and you'll see what map he's on.
I'm pretty happy with this.
Took a lot of liberties--Almost as many as I'll be taking with the Assault--for I wanted to have a little more of a Desert Storm-ish fig and I'm satisfied. Obviously not a straightup historical fig of that but it sorta fits ish.
Now, according to Kevin, since I chose to do desert tritone and Woodland on a US LMG'er with an M249, I should just label it 'Iraq 2004.' So here you go Kevs.
Iraq 2004
Ok. We're done. (Even though Kharg Island is in Iran.) Some stuff:
>First try at Tritone
>First time doing Woodland pattern shape-for shape instead of generic Woodland-ish shapes--Another pic later
>Everything on fig sculpted/casted by me
>M249 has working bipod, and the sight, bullet feed and box mag are removable--Another pic later
>Head was originally made to be Willis from Far Cry 3 back when I had problems
Badassery and C4 tank trolling ftw.
Enjoy, guys. :)
