I took this shot through a window a couple of years back at Legoland Windsor, in the UK.
Category Archives: Art Photography Today’s photo is a detail of part of the northwest facade of the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong. Best I can tell it’s pretty much the reverse angle from yesterday’s shot.  I turned my camera horizontal once more and took a wider shot of the east face of the Bank of China Tower. Even back in 1989 my predominant shooting style was run-and-gun. 
[...] guessing I simply spun around from where I too yesterday’s shot of the Bank of China Tower to get this shot of the Lippo Center Tower 2 – or Bond Center Tower 2 as it was [...]  Having captured yesterday’s shot of the dipping sun illuminating the fishing boat in Loh Dalam Bay I faced my camera the other way towards the sun. Since I’m working with a slide scan and was too lazy to re-scan it with different settings, I’m stuck with the colors captured in the slide. The challenge here is that there was no obvious neutral mid-tone from which to correct the color balance.  The image below was taken a few minutes after yesterday’s shot with the sun bisected on the horizon. The film stock was Fuji Provia 100 ISO. I’m not sure if the film now 23 years old, is suffering from aging or original reciprocity failure.  Curious title perhaps but the photos below are of the inside of one of our water tanks at our Schoonspruit/Skoonspruit camp! Perhaps it explains why we used to drink so much beer in the evening!  When I got home tonight I was hoping to see the transit of Venus but the skies to the west were cloudy and the sun was still relatively high in the sky.  I’ve no idea what this piece is called, nor who the artist is, nor anything else about the piece. I’d love to know more if anyone out there reading has any knowledge or Norwegian friends. 
Hi Richard, Oslo is a really interesting place. They have a lot of things and places which are interesting. For the case that you will visit Oslo again, you should visit the Vigelandpark. Gustav Vigeland built 212 sculptures which are presented in the Frognerpark. Very impressive. By the way: you have visited already a lot of countries and have a lot of impressive and excellent photographs on your website. Have a nice day. Greets Detlef  Instead, slides now are plastic tubes. This has the advantage of preventing your precious little one from falling over the edge on the way down but has the side effect of slowing down the whole experience. On the upside, your hair looks wicked when you emerge – like you’ve been holding onto a Van der Graaf generator!  I’ve long been fascinated by reflections. I’m like a child seeing itself in a mirror for the first time and trying to make sense of what I see – familiar yet strange simultaneously. 
This is beautiful!!!! Love it…… |
