South Park could have it's own legitimate skyline in a decade or two.

Need some nice 20-30 story condos in South Park.

I wouldn't want to see towers over 5 floors in SP.

Got some night time pics of uptown. The crown on BOA sends a very visible beam of light into the sky if you haven't seen it. Very cool. You can barely see it in the picture. In person, it was much more prominent. Sorry for the crappy phone quality.

alb1no panther's photo captures the spirit of Piet Mondrian's "Broadway Boogie-Woogie" (1942-43), Museum of Modern Art, but expressed in a subdued color palette like Whistler's Mother (Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1).

Hey guys,

Decade long lurker. Although I love it, I'm not that bright when it comes to this stuff, but I can contribute some way.

[go_vertical]

Welcome. Love that panther shot.

[qcguttersnipe]

Thanks buddy.

[Nick2]

Welcome to the forum! Always nice to have a new face. Those are some really cool pictures btw. I also really like the one with the panther in the foreground.

I hope the board moderator will permit this question, though it isn't entirely on topic:

I greatly appreciate the pictures that y'all put here...I don't often get the time to traverse the City, but this forum enables me to keep up with the latest developments.  Thanks to all who participate.

My question is this (and I know it's simplistic).  Why do these shots look so much better than what I take?  I stick with lesser camera's in the $125-150 range - obviously "you get what you pay for." 

Yet I have a 20 megapixel camera with a mechanical zoom lens that doesn't take great photo's, while another poster might have a 12x camera that takes beautiful, crisp, pictures.  What gives?  Obviously there's more to a great picture than the number of megapixels.  What might that be?

How much do I have to spend on a camera to get a decent picture?  I am a casual, recreational, user,,,
