Reflections of lights from the Wells Fargo Center, Koin Tower, Marriott Hotel sign, and other building lights in the Willamette River, Portland, OR A deeper reflection. N41092 - Happy Sliders Sunday!
People like to complain about street construction — "Oh it's awful & I'll be glad when it's finished," they say to one another and to TV reporters, hundreds of times a day — but if it weren't for construction equipment the only things to look at on Marquette Avenue'd be the bottoms of conspicuously bland office towers and the entrances and exits of parking ramps.
The bldg @ the right is one of César Pelli's abominable creations and Jesus that wall's a depressing thing to have to walk past. I'd rather get hydraulic excavators and orange plastic mesh and Jersey barriers and cylindrical castle-topper turret-looking things, which are temporarily-above-ground manholes.

Here is another version of the classic downtown Minneapolis view from the Northern Pacific Bridge Number 9. I was really hoping for a nice dramatic sky but of course no luck on the night I was able to go downtown.
Even though I was shooting at ISO 100, I was still seeing a bit of noise in the shadows and bridge and didn't want to do noise reduction to the entire photo which can reduce sharpness.
I tried a method which I'm sure many of you know called image averaging. If you are not familiar with this method, it's when you take multiple photos of the same image and average them together which greatly reduces noise while preserving sharpness. Another advantage is that it creates a look of a much longer exposure. For example the longest exposure used in this picture was 8 seconds which you could still see detail in the water, but this technique extends that out creating a soft flow. If interested the basic method of image averaging is found below (Photoshop used for this method).
-take multiple photos of the same scene (7 used in this shot)
-select all images and auto align
-convert all photos to a smart object
-Layers, Smart Objects, Stack mode, Mean
Hope it works for you.

Wells Fargo Center, Downtown Portland, OR
Tallest building in Oregon
This is my first image using Luminosity Masking Techniques. Hopefully the first result is good and that I will keep getting better from here!
KPMG tower (one of two office buildings at the Wells Fargo Center) is located on Grand Avenue, Bunker Hill, Los Angeles in between 3rd and 4th Streets.
The building is four sided, but the southern-most corner comes to this elegant, sharp angle.
Built 1981 to 83. Steel frame, 45 floors, height 184.80 m (606.30 ft).
Architects: Skidmore, Owings & Merrill LLP.

The air quality in the past week has been pretty poor and we have had days of lingering haze. I was hoping to get a full-city view, but the fog was so dense that I just drove into the city and caught some single-building portraits instead.
Here is the Wells Fargo Center, which used to be the Norwest Center, before the Northwestern National Bank got bought out. A favorite architectural site in the Minneapolis skyline, art deco isn't super common in the Twin Cities.

Look up shot from Bunker Hill in Los Angeles. Walking around Downtown Los Angeles is quite different from walking in New York. The blocks are much longer and some of the blocks are not on a grid pattern. Elevation changes around a block also are confusing for a first time visitor to the area. It took a while to find the escalator that took me from the street up to the plaza where I took this shot.
In the last couple of years I have had to become more mindful of how I approach my photography. For a long time I knew I wanted to keep my photography fun and on my own terms. It is a big reason I have always shied away from doing more professionally with my work. I have a day job. It pays the bills. Anything after that time is my own and I want to keep it that way because I want it to last... and I want to last. I never really had to think about this all that much though because it came so naturally and easy for me. But in the last couple of years life has gotten busier, particularly at work, and while I don't face any significantly greater pressure to do more professionally with my own work, what has been a challenge for me is making sure I protect enough time to spend doing my own work. And that can sometimes be easier said than done. It can be easy to answer to the call of responsibility or sense of duty. It can be easy to be distracted by distraction. It can be easy to be mollified by fatigue. Or frustrated by your own innate ability to convince yourself that you don't have the time. I think in those moments though it is important to play a long game. You have to realize that you won't ever have the time if you don't make the time, for starters. You also have to realize that even the best machines wear out with enough improper use (or even proper use) so therefore you have to take care of your own creative engine and the drive it produces. And you have to realize that by doing so the greatest benefits will be appreciated over longer periods of time as opposed to short term gains. Sneaky often making decisions based on short terms gains often undermine the long term benefits. For me, for example, its easy to work overtime. God knows I have no shortage of work to do at work, and that carries a few distinct short term benefits: the accomplishment of getting more work done and the padded paycheck. But it costs too, in this sense it has been eroding into both my time I'd spend doing photography and the time I'd spend doing anything with the photography I made. And I have found that that loss is greater, especially since it seems to compound with time and is not a simple linear progression, than the gains I get short term.
Thankfully this is all on my mind and being mindful is the first step toward action. I'll get it figured out but I can tell you that a large part will involve getting more practiced at scheduling time for my photography and for me to do my photography in the way I want to and not in response to external stimuli. It is a work in progress. As I said, this is a skill I have not really had to develop until recently, so I am learning on the job in that regard. But working on it has made me more aware of how many others I know who struggle with the same challenge. And so I wanted to share these thoughts tonight.
It was that and I wanted to write, because so much of my writing time and energy has been focused on my job and so little of it has been spent for myself. So it was good to sit down and write awhile before bed. But now the hour has gotten late and to slumber I must go... for tomorrow is another work day.

Here is the Wells Fargo Center, which used to be the Norwest Center, before the Northwestern National Bank got bought out. A favorite architectural site in the Minneapolis skyline, art deco isn't super common in the Twin Cities. At night, this building is by far, the highlight of Minneapolis skyline - as no other building is as lit up (see below). Enjoy!
Wells Fargo Center (originally Independent Life Building) is a skyscraper in the downtown area of Jacksonville, Florida, at the southeast corner of Bay and Laura streets. Standing 535 feet (163 meters) tall, it is the city's second-tallest building. It was formerly known as the Modis Building until 2011, when Wells Fargo acquired the naming rights.
The tower was completed in 1974 by the Independent Life and Accident Insurance Company, and was known as the Independent Life Building. Built by The Auchter Company. It was designed by KBJ Architects, who received the Honor Award for Outstanding Achievement in Design by the Jacksonville Chapter of the American Institute of Architects for the design. The design concept included a sloping base and large corner frames to provide a distinctive image not only for the company, but also as an identifying landmark for the city of Jacksonville.
Beginning in 1995 Independent Life was acquired by the American General Life Insurance Company, and operations were gradually moved to Nashville, Tennessee. The building was sold to Associated Capital Properties, and the Jacksonville staffing company AccuStaff moved in and acquired the naming rights, and it became the AccuStaff Building. In 2002, AccuStaff changed its name to MPS Group. It renamed the building the Modis Building, after one of the company's main brands, and added Modis signage. In 2009 MPS Group was acquired by the Swiss firm Adecco Group, which announced the company would relocate to Jacksonville's suburbs. The move was completed in 2011 and the signage was removed, and the building was renamed Independent Square.
In May 2011, Wells Fargo, which had acquired the Wachovia financial services company, announced it would relocate local employees to the building. Signage went up on the Wells Fargo Center on September 26 and the relocation completed by April 2012.
The Wells Fargo Center has 37 floors, and held the title of tallest building in Florida until 1981, when One Tampa City Center was completed. It remained the tallest building in Jacksonville until 1990, when the Bank of America Tower surpassed it in height. The building takes up an entire city block in Jacksonville's downtown. A notable feature of the structure is a four-story atrium of tropical vegetation where the public enters. The first floor also contained an auditorium with seating for 360 patrons, a bank, restaurants, and several retail stores.
Parkway Properties is a third-party service provider for the building.
One major tenant in the Wells Fargo Center is the River Club of Jacksonville, a private business club that occupies the top two floors of the building. Originally known as the Jacksonville Businessmen's Club, it was established in 1954 after the fashion of similar organizations in New York City, Chicago and Washington, D.C.. It was formerly located on the 16th floor of the Prudential Building (now known as the Aetna Building), the city's tallest building when it opened in 1955. It relocated to its current space in 1976, but did not offer memberships to women until 1985. The club has been owned and managed by a subsidiary of Gate Petroleum since 2003.
In September 2017, Hurricane Irma's storm surge caused major flooding in the downtown area of Jacksonville. The parking garage of the Wells Fargo Center was impacted by these events and the building was briefly closed. The building reopened September 29.

Jacksonville is the most populous city in Florida, and is the largest city by area in the contiguous United States as of 2020. It is the seat of Duval County, with which the city government consolidated in 1968. Consolidation gave Jacksonville its great size and placed most of its metropolitan population within the city limits. As of 2019, Jacksonville's population was estimated to be 911,507, making it the 12th most populous city in the U.S., the most populous city in the Southeast, and the most populous city in the South outside of the state of Texas. The Jacksonville metropolitan area has a population of 1,523,615 and is the fourth largest metropolitan area in Florida.
Jacksonville is centered on the banks of the St. Johns River in the First Coast region of northeast Florida, about 25 miles (40 km) south of the Georgia state line and 328 miles (528 km) north of Miami. The Jacksonville Beaches communities are along the adjacent Atlantic coast. The area was originally inhabited by the Timucua people, and in 1564 was the site of the French colony of Fort Caroline, one of the earliest European settlements in what is now the continental United States. Under British rule, a settlement grew at the narrow point in the river where cattle crossed, known as Wacca Pilatka to the Seminole and the Cow Ford to the British. A platted town was established there in 1822, a year after the United States gained Florida from Spain; it was named after Andrew Jackson, the first military governor of the Florida Territory and seventh President of the United States.
Harbor improvements since the late 19th century have made Jacksonville a major military and civilian deep-water port. Its riverine location facilitates Naval Station Mayport, Naval Air Station Jacksonville, the U.S. Marine Corps Blount Island Command, and the Port of Jacksonville, Florida's third largest seaport. Jacksonville's military bases and the nearby Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay form the third largest military presence in the United States. Significant factors in the local economy include services such as banking, insurance, healthcare and logistics. As with much of Florida, tourism is important to the Jacksonville area, particularly tourism related to golf. People from Jacksonville are sometimes called "Jacksonvillians" or "Jaxsons" (also spelled "Jaxons").
