Midtown, as Georgia O'Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz might see it from their hotel window.

@mattblaze boosted because I read this...
@mattblaze Please tag #BitchingAndWhining or #Monomachy so these threads can be found.
@mattblaze Thanks for boosting it. I enjoy your photography, and would have missed it otherwise.

@mattblaze

Saw that painting about a month ago. :)

@mattblaze I'm not sure that it is 'needlessly' high resolution. I assume these pictures are also HDR. How long did you work on it before you were satisfied with your ability to get the spatial and tonal range you wanted?
@lou The Phase One is inherently HDR (full 16 bits of depth), but this particular image didn't require much post-processing. I got the dark sky and high contrast by shooting IR, with, as I recall, a 760nm filter. So almost all the tweaking for composition on contrast was done at the time of shooting.
@mattblaze Amazing, the windows are perfectly parallel with the edges of the image! 🤩 Tilt & shift lens? (Plus very careful composure, of course.)
@mattblaze Nice! I bet that makes a wonderful print.

@mattblaze Argle bargle! How dare you make my eyes look at any image that doesn’t have funny cartoon characters to keep me amused!?!

Henceforth you shall use #ThisIsNotArt and #IAmAnAmatuerForNotIncludingCartoonCharactersInMyImages with every post whether it has an image or not. It’s the least you can do.
