Double Cira Abstract
Uploaded: November 14, 2005 17:09:15
f/ 4.0, 1/8 sec., ISO-200, 08:58 PM, Philadelphia, PA. The Cira Centre is one of the newest buildings in Philly. It is next to 30th Street Station and is connected to Amtrak, I think, somehow. Guess so, anyways. It is a fascinating enough building during the day wtih its glass covering and angles providing all sorts of differnt reflections. Hard as heck to get to though. I have yet to find the right spot, except in areas accessible only by autos, or get longer glass....or in my case...glass period! LOL!.
At night, the lights are different colors on half the building on an angle....this night it was purple, but I have seen it in blue and I think red. Not sure of the significance, if any, of the colors other than to really brighten up the West Philly nightline.
I got to a place right across near the other side of the river for this shot which is a multiple exposure. I focused on the lights and panned one half the frame and then repeated for the other half.
