The first shot is from a view much higher up than my apartment.
In spite of not liking having this building obstructing my view of the sky, I am often awestruck by the changes in light and colour. Sometimes it is the reflections off this building that first draw my attention to the weather changes.
Lately, I have been experimenting with taking several shots of the same view at various times of the day and year and so, for your viewing pleasure, here is my submission to Sunday Stills. Pull up a chair, have a glass...
Isn't it amazing what the light, or lack thereof can do to structures?! Love the night shot!

Clever shots and clever idea! Amazing how the light changes things.
ReplyDeleteLove the night sky!
I like it the best in red! But I see what you mean, it does take away from your view!
ReplyDeleteinteresting how different times of the day make the same scene appear different isn't it?
ReplyDeletelovely selections
Very cool, the last one with the moon is classic..:-)
ReplyDeleteVery interesting subject for your potluck shots. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, it's just like a canvas! Really great observations and I love that last shot!
ReplyDeleteLight does amazing things. You've captured that wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteYou have proved it is all in the lighting. Amazing, the changes with just different light.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Especially vivid in the collage.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea.
Interesting! In Vancouver all the buildings are made of glass like that. At times it can look very cold, but at the end of the day when the sun is setting in the west, the whole city looks like a city of gold.
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference between day and night!
ReplyDeleteThe building changes from an Eastern European factory building to a tower of light!
SueAnn: until you see the changes side by side, you don't always realize how different it can look
ReplyDeleteGilly: it's been in the back of my mind to take a sequential shot of the changing trees, but on Wed I realized how much the building changes, too.
Jeannette: in the winter the sun sets directly behind this building (that's when it becomes a big obstruction!)
Chloe: I sometimes get sidetracked by the changing sky and forget about the things below.
Ed: I love that moon shot. I remember it well, interrupting work to take pictures until it faded...
ReplyDeleteDiBear: thanks, I figured this would not be subject anytime soon, so am glad to have the 'potluck' opportunity!
Susan: my own urban monet moment!
Betty: that is one reason I don't like glass buildings - that cold look to them.
Colleen: the windows are actually that horrid green colour, but you can hardly tell from these photos which is the true colour!
Gail: same camera, same settings (except the moon one) until I searched every shot I had with the building in it, I hadn't realized just how much it changed!
ReplyDeleteRuth: I started with just one shot during the sunrise, but every time I looked outside again, it was different. the first three are really only a matter of minutes apart. I was shocked at how quickly it changed.
Jo: that would be when you want to be out on a boat, in the evening, drifting in the harbour...
June: it doesn't really look like much on its own does it, until the light hits in a certain way.
Very interesting! It's amazing the difference from the different times of day.
ReplyDeleteA great approach!
ReplyDeleteSandy: some things you take for granted, until you look closely!
ReplyDeletelori: thanks. something a bit different for all you countryfolk!
I love the one with the dark clouds, and the moon shot! what a difference in lighting!
ReplyDeleteThat is so damn cool....
ReplyDeleteBrenda: dark clouds and bright sun are always a great combination for drama.
ReplyDeleteJazz: my view is inspiring afterall!
I love how it looks so different at different times. Maybe that's where the esxpression "Timing is everything" comes from.
ReplyDeleteGeewits: well, it was in this instance.
ReplyDeleteOhh great light colour study! I did some studies like this and went to share on my page. Keep going on.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great series and very interesting post.
ReplyDeleteNihal: this was fun to do.
ReplyDeleteDave: thanks. nice to see you here.
Nice series. It's very much the type of thing that I enjoy seeing, as well as doing, myself. Hey, it's like Monet with that cathedral in Chartres!! Well, not exactly, but you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteMim: yes, I do know what you mean and I thought the same when I started! now if only my view were of Chartres.....
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for sending me the link to this post! That building really does dominate the skyline, and isn't aesthetically pleasing (and given this, let us hope they used something like this!!) But the way it changes colors so dramatically with the changing light - that really does give it beauty and interest. I appreciate your powers of observation and photography so you could share its rainbow effects with us! :-)
