I took these a few weeks ago but forgot to post them. I would have had a sunset version by my GND filter was so dirty and scratched that it wasn't worth it (I've since bought a new one). These were taken from one of our office buildings which offers a great vantage point of the city.

    Amazing shots. I like the deep blue sky in the first and clouds in the third. I wish the view from my building were like that.

    Man, I wish I had access to that building. These are some killer shots. I think the view from up there is a lot better than from the Rizal Bridge.

    You work at an excellent location! Beautiful shots. #3 is my favorite, and the other two are not far behind. thumb.gif

    All great shots. I'm with Ana, #3 is my favorite with the sky details and you can still get some structure in the darker buildings.

    3 great shots, but I think #3 is the money shot! And that view, man oh man, I'd practically cut a finger off for a view like that at work. I'm lucky if they open the blinds here in the crypt!

    So do I! Actually I did a few years ago (the 5th floor right on the corner, the best office view I've ever had and probably ever will), but I've since moved to another building (if you look on the second shot where Qwest Field is - that's the building with the arches on the left, and go to the right two buildings to the one that has a green rounded corner, that's the building I work at right now).

    I agree, I like the views from Rizal too, but I prefer the ones from on top of the PacMed building. We're going to be out of that building in 1-2 years, so I'm trying to take advantage while I still can.

    Thanks, believe me I know how lucky I am to have access to this view. Whoever decided to make I-5 an S-curve through downtown also deserves a little credit :D

    Thanks for the comments everyone, I agree that #3 is the best. I like the others too, the light is different in each. Though I'm one of those people who will shoot the same location over and over and never get tired of it :D

    Gorgeous shots, Ron. I dunno, but I think I like the contrast in #1 the best.
