Thanks for the compliment. I am new to B&W and it is very difficult for me to get used to the differences of using color. Strange medium.

Indeed, although yours is a lot prettier than mine.

Whereabouts downtown was this taken? I've been meaning to try a few more shots of the building but I'm never sure where to shoot from. Being a parallelogram (or a rhombus, not sure which) the tower can look oddly narrow, as in your photo, or wide and flat if viewed from another angle. Throw some movements into the mix as you've done here and you can achieve some interesting geometric results.

I took the photo from the northeast corner of 2nd & Burnside, as you can sort of see in the attached photo:



I have a completely different photo in mind I'd like to take from NW 3rd and Couch

I like the shot but I need MORE technical information and I want to know why all of your shots have Lightning with an "n". What color is your camera? What diameter is the filter? And brand of that filter? I'm just kidding, of course but that lightNing thing drives me nuts.

Ahhh yes i understand now. Its a mistake. I don't know english very well and i did that mistake in every single picture description. Poor me i have to change them all one by one on my flickr account. Thank you you make me notice that mistake. I know its a bit boring all that useless information. I will try to put only the real interesting information next times. Anyway your comment is very welcome as always. I have to grow and all your comments help me. Anyway my camera is of a wonderful yellow maple wood with a black bellow. Ha ha ha.

This is sensational and inspirational.. I love the subtle use of movements to create something that looks surreal and yet some how correct at the same time...

Beautifully exposed too..
