That is a nice shot, I like the snow scene. I assume that is a somewhat rare occurrence in Raleigh? One can pretty easily find variants of my picture, it is taken from the top of a parking garage and by just being observant you can realize that would make for a pretty good place to get some

Nice shots, but I really prefer the K3 rendition. To my eye the wider angle view, bringing in the two converging highways, make for a more engaging composition. Mark On 11/23/2021 10:55 PM, Corey Leopold wrote: Took the K3 III out for the first time tonight

Yes this is true, but it also isn't downtown and like the Pentagon is low rise (4 stories) just has a very horizontal spread. And it is on a campus that if you didn't know better you would think it was Military. On Thu, Nov 25, 2021 at 7:51 PM Daniel J. Matyola wrote: > Of course, San Antonio

Of course, San Antonio has the largest single-occupancy office building in the world, an office complex bigger than even the Pentagon. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On Thu, Nov 25, 2021 at 8:32 PM Corey Leopold wrote: > I'm not

I'm not sure, especially what was where in the 1970s. Possibly the Hotel Havana which would have been there then, it is a bit up the river from the main tourist area and small like 27 rooms. But I'm sure there are other properties that could fit that description also. And 1976 would have been

So you're referring to the building in the Middle which is the Marriott Riverwalk and was built in 1979, the building on the left with Marriott on the top is the Marriott Rivercenter which was built in 1988. Yes there are two Marriotts across the street from each other. The building on the right

I think the dynamic range is better, but I believe Larry was right, the old one also isn't in great focus, after he said that I went and looked back at others from that night and they were much better focused. Not sure what I did with that one, but it was also the only frame I took of that view
