Description This was taken quite a while ago, off one of my first really succesful roll of slides. I can't really say too much for the image quality, the scan unfortunately killed it ... I salvaged what I could in PS, though.
This was a rather long exposure, about 2 seconds on a tripod, hence the blue tone. Not much else to say by way of description, except that some better pictures will be coming soon ...

Technical Stuff:
Taken with a Pentax *ist (film version!) on Kodak E100G slides, focal length 28mm, exposure ~2 seconds. Circular polarizer, as always, with a little work in PS to add a border and signature, as well as restore at least a little of the sharpness ...

Enjoy!

I absolutly love this photo, as you know!
The blue sky is incredible and the reflections in the building seem some what surreal!
Plus, the lighting is great and everything! It is an all around good picture!
Only problem I see is, it looks like ya missed some dust or something in the top left corner.

Thanks hun!
Glad you like it, it's personally one of my favourites from that particular shoot.
And yes, thanks for pointing that out - I completely missed it. No need to re-submit the picture over something like that, although if I decide to make it a print someday down the road, I will have to remember that it is there
Thank you very much for the comment!
