Red Vertigo*

This was taken at the newly completed Cal-Trans Building in downtown Los Angeles. This picture somehow reminds me of the Hal 9000 computer from the Film 2001, or, Maybe just falling from somewhere Red into somewhere White.. Interestingingly, this is looking up into a light well, rather than down. (Also an apology, this image is a little too large, I failed to resize it. I'll be more careful of this in the future)

Canon EOS D60
10s f/8.0 at 20.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium original auto

Markjay, I know what you are saying. But this is what was there, and, as a general rule, (for myself), I don't alter too much what is there originally. What makes me crazy about this image is that there seems to be a touch of barrel distortion towards the top of the image. This was shot with the Canon 20mmf2.8.

I've been back several times to shoot this again with differing lenses, but I've never seen it lit up this way again. One of these days, I'll get it again.

Best Wishes,

Traveller

Just for the fun of it, I might have cut and paste the right side elements to the left side of the image... would make for an even more dizzying effect. However, your image is really cool the way it is also! Markjay

It really looks like from sci-fi movie. Great perspective
