JJ's Photoblog
Way up there
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 13 January 2009 in Cityscape & Urban.
This is near grand central one morning, I think this is the Helmsley building one early morning, the fog hides the buildings behind it
Out at an offsite meeting for a couple of days so I may be get a little behind in making comments but will catch up on my return
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

Excellent perspective and almost milimetrically centered. It's a huge building. I agree with Linerberry. Scrolling up and down makes us dizzy!

I have to go look for this building now! The roof looks absolutely stunning. Very nice perspective on the snap as well.

This is a great shot of the Helmsley building ... I remember all the news on Leona Helmsley, "The Queen of Mean".

I wonder how many people just walk by this impressive building without noticing all the lovely details you show here. You´re very observant. Great shot!!!

Wonderfully powerful effect of isolation here - plus that visual 'scrolling' side-effect I rather like. Detail sis superb.

What a grand building; looks like a crown at the top almost. Wonderful perspective in this one.

SUPER! the muted effect of the fog also makes the colours of the building richer i think!

a crowned building - funny how they put the gilded ornamentation up so high that only other sky-dwellers can really see it.
