I would love to learn first hand. Especially if I can learn to take these kind of photos. My night shots don't come out so well.

Trina, I was looking at your forum post (Learning and Book Questions), and I would be willing to give you a lesson on some of the basics. It's hard to really gather the nuances of photography from a book. You really need to see it first hand. So I will extend that offer to you, not as someone that "knows it all", but as someone that's had to pretty much learn it on his own like you're doing.

You let me know if you're interested.

Well it is a wonderful shot even though you had to jump through hoops so to speak. I hope to be able to get shots like that eventually.

On the technical side Trina, I shot this with my Canon 50D and a 10-22mm wide angle lens.........hanging over the edge of the building a little to capture this shot.

Well it took some doing. Fortunately for me my client is the wife of a big commercial real estate broker. He just happened to do the deal on the building in question. Even with that it took weeks to get permission. I had to sign wavers and agree not to publish in print media any pictures taken from the shoot! Not sure why all the high importance, but it was worth it.

So glad you liked the shots. My client seems pumped up about it.

Ok I have to ask....how in the world did you get this photo? I mean I don't know alot of buildings that will let you on top of them but then again, I guess I am to scared to find out also.

However, this is a great pic
