Why has someone stolen my photo?

mogwai83 · April 23rd, 2012, 07:37 PM

no doubt the usual suspect... downloads flickr pics, uploads them to his own and then posts in international forums hoping the owner doesn't notice... from a private photo set no less so no-one can lookup the imgID from flickr...

this clattering buttock has left the imgID in the filename though... here's the original taken by onehourleft (which is DarJoLe)

OK, so you don't like it. I think we get that now. I don't think it that great either, but I don't need to point that out every few days.

At night i reckon it will look stunning the strong red allied to the island setting and surrounding sports events should look spectacular.

chrissus83 · April 24th, 2012, 11:43 AM

Not the best picture, but I saw it last night from home and it was surprising just how great the lighting scheme looked. I think there will be more lighting than just the top of the loop but as it is it looked really wonderful.

It looks wonderful from Leyton High Road - couldn't grab a photo but the whole thing is glowing red tonight. Looks like a spaceship.

Lighting things up when it's dark is Cliche?

chrissus83 · April 27th, 2012, 11:59 AM

some pics from last night

Looking great in my opinion

pagey17 · April 27th, 2012, 03:51 PM

Should look great during the nighttime at least.

The Shard Baby · April 28th, 2012, 10:20 AM

This is such a beautiful addition to the city. Night and day.

I just can't get myself to like this, saying that I don't think it looks too bad on those dusk shots. I just think it really detracts from the venues and is really obtrusive.

Steel City Suburb · April 28th, 2012, 02:49 PM

It only detracts from the stadium. Having seen it in real life on a park tour, I like it.

Would you please explain what the "fundamental error" relate to?

The grey staircase, observation deck and lift shaft all detract from the pure form that Anish Kapoor first created, however without the observation deck it would never generated any income for its continued maintainance so we've ended up with this awful compromise that looks like the Eiffel Towers turd.
