Well, we can't celebrate just yet about any new towers altering our still small (but growing) skyline. However, it is exciting to discover new spots from which our downtown's image may appear more interesting. When considering how dangerous it can also be to take these shots (i.e. from bridges, trees or rooftops), the value of those photos becomes even greater.
Anyway, this is unofficially the first thread I post after the purchase of my new camera and I am looking forward to sharing more photos with you. I am beginning to get used to it, but still need a lot of work before I try to get more creative. My new camera is a Fuji Finepix S7000 (pictured below), the model I had in mind to purchase for quite some time. It is a great camera and fun to use; in the hands of an experienced photographer S7000 can truly shine.
The following photos, while unofficially make up my first posted collection taken with my new camera, are not the jaw-dropping type, but nevertheless show the impact that Two Progress Plaza had in the skyline, the tremendous potential that the city's CBD has, and the impact that the upcoming developments will make in the next 3-5 years. I hope you like the photos (they have been significantly reduced in size and quality).
Not always is necessary to utilize the zooming capabilities of the camera:
A cropped version after using the zoom... not a real panoramic view:
Gotta love all this green
Finally a shot where wires don't stand between me and the skyline:
Yes, it was at the Hammond Rd exit:
Not exactly the most unique shot, but I still love it:
Sorry for the short thread, but I promise to reward you with something far superior, once I get more server space and time to convert all those new images.
Disclaimer: In the past, we have seen photos from the South-East Raleigh, but not from the three spots I took the above pictures. Other South-East angles have been shown here before. I simply want to qualify my Title statement.
