Amber's View

Amber's View

-------
The day I interviewed (March 5) for my current position, I became absolutely awestruck with the view from our CEO's 15th floor office. Yesterday, she was out of town, and her Executive Assistant accompanied me into her office to take a few shots through the window. This one turned out the best, though I had to swap the sky again because there was not a single cloud to be seen!
----------
Used my Super-Wide (10-20mm) Sigma lens and cropped to the most pleasing proportions.
----------
Philadelphia's City Hall is featured, but there are lots of fascinating buildings and objects in this frame.

Looks like it has been ripped right out of Europe and placed here. Great shooting Michelle. Looks like the area is full of EOD shots.

Fantastic view, details and light, Michelle... I wouldn't get much done because I'd always be staring out the window if that was my office! lol
