Downtown Auckland with reflection

Posted by Aaron Schmidt (Auckland, New Zealand) on 10 November 2006 in Cityscape & Urban.

Ugh, not happy with the giant fluorescent light reflection, especially when I know how to avoid it but not much I can do about it now. Anyways, taken from my Aurelie's office building.

Whooo hoo! You might not like the reflection, but this photo is magnificent. Especially as I thought I was seeing first hand evidence of a close encounter of the 3rd kind!

I tend to share the Idea of a large space craft hovering in the low clouds. Of course that requires a suspension of disbelief to get there. Aaron please check out my latest image, I do not know if you have a nudity exclusion rule for this site. I will understand if I need to pull it.

Nice. You could clone-out the reflection, but I actually like it. Adds a surreal element to the image.

Cool shot. I rather like the abstractness of the fluorescent light, it fits in with the modernist tower.

Le fluorescent fait l'effet d'un soleil artificiel! Vous en avez surement besoin avec toute cette couche de nuage!

The reflection gives the image a nice surreal edge. Nicely done.

Like what the others said, I thought it looked like a space ship of some sort haha. Putting that aside, I like how the buildings (esp. the foreground) are symmetrically positioned in the frame.

Btw, I suggest you resize the height of vertically oriented photos to about 500 pixels so that you wouldn't have to scroll to actually view the image :) I feel it takes away the mood.

@Ryan Yam: You can always shrink it down to small size if you want. =)
