Charlotte Airport At Sunset

Charlotte Airport

I travel a lot. Airports are second nature to me, and photo opportunities present themselves in airports all over the place. I have been seeing this shot for the past two years and never had the opportunity to capture it in the way I thought it looked best. Finally while traveling this past Sunday the conditions were just right. The sun was setting, the light was reflecting off the floor, and the people were walking by. The only thing I may improve on this is the lack of illumination of the ceiling, but in many ways I like it just the way it is. Tell me what you think.

Charlotte Tower

Today was an experimental day of photography for me. I tried a lot of things and experimented with light, shadows, objects, colors, and framing. None of the images were worthy of posting on my blog, but I gained a whole lot of experience. Instead of posting nothing, I thought I would share with you this shot taken on my recent trip to Charlotte North Carolina. This building was in the downtown area and if anyone knows the name of it, please let me know.

Update: This is the Hearst Tower located at 214 North Tryon Street in the heart of downtown. It's the second tallest building in downtown Charlotte at the height of 200.9 meters. Read more at the Sky Scraper Page

Here's another shot from my photowalk downtown Charlotte NC. I'm sure this photo has been taken several times by many photographers before me, but the sun was setting in the sky and the colors were warm and beautiful. I couldn't pass up this great shot.

Exposure: 0.001 sec (1/800)
Aperture: f/3.5
Focal Length: 18 mm
