Detroit Photo of the Day

[Rwarky]

It really does. Allan took this photo recently showing that:

And, it's colorful without being gaudy. I'm not sure if Allan 'enhanced' the picture above, but it's still a colorful skyline.

Great photo!

Here are a couple photos from Yesterday. What a great sports day in Detroit!

[baldy]

You had quite the sporgy of a day! Great shot from the CoPa. I really like how from the stadium, the Ren Cen is not isolated or dominant in the skyline.

I can only imagine of what it was like to be there last night. What a dramatic win by the Tigers! Downtown must have been hopping all night.

Here is a shot of the Downtown Skyline from my seat in the grand stand at the Wayne State Football game.

I'm not really a photographer or anything, but I was downtown today with my friend and I took some pictures, so I thought I'd contribute.

Your standard Cadillac Tower shot. The building and the camera did all the work.

Jeeze, I vaguely remember as a small child the stands giving great views of the city, but never this good. Seriously, we used to watch fireworks from here when we were little, but I never rememered the views being that great.

Thanks, Jeff. Brings back memories.

Not exactly Detroit, but close enough. A photo I found of a Michigan, Lake Erie scene:

Do they really need that many street lamps? It seems as if they're 10 feet apart...

[RustTown]

I love that shot, Tony. What's the cross street, and where exactly was it taken from?

[wolverine]

The street lamps just appear that way. In reality they are probably 80-100 feet apart It's called "compression" and typically occurs when you zoom in on a subject that is bounded by a linear set of objects on each side. This sort of technique is one of my favorites despite it being so typical in photography. In this case, the subject is the skyline.

Here's some more compression. Lamps in Greektown

Michigan Central Station hasnt appeared in awhile so...

Closeup of cornice detail. Note that because this is a South facing facade there is hardly any damage from the elements.
