I just love the angle of the shot. And the contrast in the sky is really something!
How do you manage to get such a sharp contrast between the clouds and the sky? Is it just a matter of having a really good UV or Polarising filter or combination of both?

What an angle and perspective. It almost looks like the building is only a 2D-level warped a little. Interesting! And I wish I'd see clouds like that - or the sun. It's been raning here way to long..

krey [2004-08-02 04:13:28 +0000 UTC]

aha ! the continuity & leading lines of the cloud reflections ! great clouds , properly exposed ; nothing quite like it , clouds are one of my favorite subjects . Just moved back to Md. 2 weeks ago & I'm lovin' all this weather & water which were extremely lacking in Az. Don't get me wrong Az. is beautiful but us Aquarians need our H2O [ & cheesesteaks ] .

In-Apt [2004-07-31 20:58:25 +0000 UTC]

Striking photo, both visually and technically.


The exposure is dead-on, and breathtaking skills shown here, in having the intersection of the building with the end of the frame matching the corners, and having the other corner with the end of a window. Stunning detail, a treat for the 'wise'.





Is this simple b&w, or is it shot with an IR filter?
