Anyone have any hints of a good place to shoot this building at night? I was trying to capture the reflection of the other building and all I had was my cheap digital. I'm planning on bringing my better camera next time I'm in town...

Why does this angle of the building remind me of Batman??

Does anyone out there have a photo or some photos of Atlanta that they would like to post? Does anyone have a favorite photo of Atlanta that they would like to post?

You can post them here, if you like. They don't have to be yours necessarily, but your own photos are preferred. Advice about how to take pictures, cameras, and equipment is also welcome.

My favorite ATL photo (which is why it's my avatar):

I come in from the South, so this is a really good pic.

Just a short reminder, kenneth. Make sure when you quote someone that what you have to say goes outside of the quoted post, which begins and ends with a

tag. Otherwise, we might not be able to tell what you have to say or where your post begins and the other person's ends.

I took the liberty of taking what you said out of the quote boxes for these last two posts.

2 pictures of Midtown/Downtown stretch of Atlanta's Skyline from Brookwood, i snapped after a night of partying...

Great perspectives on the skyline, HybridONE. I love them!

FYI- For those who care, if it does work out, I will be in Atlanta to take more pictures sometime this week.

Wow IC, very impressive thread. You take some great shots with plenty of different, nice views. Atlanta sure has it share of impressive high-rise towers spread throughout the city! The BOA Spire looks great at night!

What's your opinion on the new Symphony Tower?? I like it and included a design like it on some of my skyline drawings.

I can remember my first time in Atlanta. The HUGE freeway(all 16-lanes) left a lasting impression; how it wound in between Midtown and Downtown. Driving in from the North...I said "what's that to the left"?? That was Midtown seeing downtown straight ahead, saying thats one massive skyline!

Keep up the great work IC!

Yes, it was purchased as part of the BeltLine project.

I think there was some discussion about this in our "Atlanta's Emerald Necklace" thread.

Forgive the late response, but my memory on the subject was a little muddled. It's been so long since we've talked about that quarry.

Thanks, I'm glad you liked my shots. I do my best to bring the city to life. I like the Symphony Tower's design. I love seeing the fins light up at night.

Here's a nice shot for today. I took it almost a year ago but never had the chance to post it.

I was in Centennial Olympic Park at the time and some kids were playing a game of football.

And this is what the top of the station looks like.

That's a great perspective on the skyline. Where'd you take it from? The Westin Peachtree?

LOL! I should have seen that! Whoops! Anyways, you are probably right.

Here's a pic that I think shows Atlanta's huge skyline potential

[ironchapman]

I agree. The skyline looks so nice in that shot.

Aerial shot of the volleyball tournament held earlier this year at Atlantic Station

Seems like there was a pretty big crowd there. Nice view of the skyline, too.

Now that's what I'm talking about!

I just wish there was some development over the right field fence for all on TV to see. Does anybody have any news on anything being redeveloped on the South side near the ballpark?

[ironchapman]

Excellent work, Rested Traveler! Great view of the skyline! That's one of my favorite parts of Turner Field.

Now, if only the skies had been clear that day.......

New additions, from a distance...
