Telus Sky
Well, it's been awhile since I have visited here. I am glad to see all the usual suspects are still hanging in. :)
I have been wanting to photograph the Telus Sky Tower for some time and finally made a foray out to check it out. I am going to add a link as well where the architect talks about the design a bit. It is very unusual as it has a relatively small footprint for it's height. In the architect's video there is a prototype of a really nice mezzanine area and, well we are not quite there yet. I do not like Telus's signage at ground level. either. It turns out this building is a challenge to photograph at ground level, it is in a tight space and the Ctrain is right in front of it which I am sure will make for cool photos sometime. At any rate here is what I got on this visit.

Hey Jas,
Good to see ya! I really like these - that curvy quality mixed w/the rectangular building blocks - very cool!
I think shot 3 is my fave here.
-
Thanks Marko! The building really stands out in the skyline especially since it so close to the "Bow".
-
These are nice shots. Love the sky and cloud reflections, appropriate for the name. I noticed it was finished now and also that it is hard to shoot from the ground. Worth exploring. Thanks for sharing these.
-
It is nice to hear from you again Jas.
This is a nice looking building. I agree the sky and the reflections are the stand out.
-
I agree with Marko, #3 has motion. Great image!!!
Number 2 has distractions of the reflections at the bottom.
Number 1 looks like a vinyl album cover (in a good way)

Wow! Look who's back!
I really like that last one. Would love to see that same shot with a 10 stop ND filter.
Missed you muchly.

I was actually thinking about that Barefoot. I will have to round up my tripod and filters and get serious. Nice to see you too! The Antiquetiger I purposely put the reflection in there. it is the Calgary Tower and I have a thing where I take pictures of it without taking a picture of it. It's a silly thing. it used to dominate the town down now all the highrises dwarf it. It used to be a landmark now I have had tourists ask me where it is when they are only one block away from it. Thanks. for the comments everyone.
