Another magnificent architectural piece that I was too lazy to find out the name of. It looks like there would be gold bricks inside. This structure is in downtown Atlanta, surrounded by the Georgia State University campus, which is sprinkled all over central downtown.

Found this digging through some of my old architecture shots. I love to shoot Architecture with wide glass as these corporate buildings appear to reach skyward.

HDR just has a way of bringing to the eye, an extra level of beauty, vibrancy and character to almost everything around us. Architecture, especally those seemingly enclosed in glass, are one of my favorite HDR targets.

The vibrant blueness of this HDR rendition just stuck out at me. I couldn’t bring myself to subdue or call it anything else. I love this area of midtown and couldn’t wait for the chance to return to this area with my 5DMarkII.

Love this restaurant! The food is great with a unique look and feel. This is actually the first HDR shot I’ve ever done with my circular polarizer. I’m very pleased with the results.

If you are downtown near spring street and hungry, you may want to give them a try! http://www.steamhouselounge.com/

ATL – Blackened Sky, originally uploaded by aw-photo.

The Atlanta skyline is a very elusive beauty to capture. This is because many of the overpasses are inaccessible and rooftops are simply impossible to gain access to. But, as you can see here, I finally found a sweet spot.
