Spruce Goose

Added on by John Sturr.

Cockpit of the Spruce Goose - at the headquarters of Evergreen Airlines.  An organization I only thought rumored to exist, and surprised to realize it is tangible. Considered the largest airline in the world when I knew of them.

SLC Public Safety

Added on by John Sturr.

*Correction* 8/1/13  per the Architect of Record - 175,00 square feet above grade and 160,00 square feet below grade with Parking.  

My original figures were taken from figures provided by the Salt Lake Tribune. 

 ***

Public Safety building in Salt Lake City - 100% net zero - 125,000 square feet with a square foot cost at $700 +.  Expensive.  But it sure looks worth it.

Nikon 1 V1 with the 10-30mm developed with LR and SFex Pro. Lightroom's lens correction tools are just too compelling / powerful to be replaced with others.

Tesoro in the Evening

Added on by John Sturr.

Lately I've been running in the early mornings - and aside from really hating the running part - I've gotten a good look at a stuff at that early morning still dark viewpoint.

And I love this abandoned Tesoro station on the corner just down the block.  And I've wanted to get this picture for a while.

Shot in the evening - and I dug out the D3s, go figure - with the 24mm PC-e Shift.

After last weekends 4th Holiday - I came back with a few keepers.  They were both quite a surprise when i started to sort and post process the 400+ images, of which I ended up with about 80+.  

My technique has evolved into using the 10fps silent shutter option which preserves the scene, but gives me a bunch of frames so I get the shot without eye-blinks.  None of what I shot would have been possible without the crazy fast focusing in the V1 though - it is a game changer for compact cameras.
