Richmond in Pictures II

[wrldcoupe4]

wow yeah i just noticed that it looks crooked. Did u do that through editing cam?

[burt]

That pano is great! Ive been wondering how you all do that, do you just use a tripod and go in a line? Do you have to time it? How do you put them together? Sorry for all the questions, Im just curious on how to do that. Ive been wanting to do panos, for a long time....

That really is an incredible nighttime pano. Thanks again, Cam.

[burt]

Coupe, your Flicker pictures, though not new, are as exciting as ever and your captions are inspired! I spent a long time there and plan to go back. I liked Freshassperpermint's set because he showed a lot of the French Film festival and the Monument 10K.

I intend to go back soon. Thanks.

[wrldcoupe4]

Thanks Burt... I'm probably just going to put pictures in there that I think are more "artistic" than the others.

[TBurban]

Promise, last batch of Photoshopped pics....Im addicted

Haha. Those cows turned into bears, and the forest into mountains

That last one wasnt Richmond, but still pretty cool!

[burt]

Eerie, Burban! The last one has a Japanese feel. My favorite is the first one of the Canal Walk, but the bear-cows frame is fun.

[wrldcoupe4]

I like them too !

[Cadeho]

Good job! Photoshop can be addicting. And the pic of City Hall were two pics, one up and one down. It's gonna burst!

But how long is the gestation period for City Halls?

[Cadeho]

Well it can depend... it could be a couple of months or years!

[wrldcoupe4]

Surprise! I'll actually be in Richmond for the night! So I'm bringing the camera in the hopes that I can get out and snap at least a few shots

Awesome, Coupe! Welcome home...again! (for the night ) Are you going to take night shots? Ive never seen the city at night, except for in some RCW pics. But have fun back on home city turf!

[wrldcoupe4]

I'd love to take some night shots, but I'm going to have to buy a tripod first to make them worth it.... Here's a few pics from today, Part I:

Southern Stove Works conversion to residential and commercial space:

Todd Lofts.. I think this is totally occupied:

Sauer's HQ... It smells so cool around there

Next to Sauer's, this is a great renovation... the inside is begging to be an awesome restaurant!

I found this on a very unassuming building along broad... looks like a seal for the CF Sauer Co.... they went all along the building

sidetracked to Allen St

Lee on Monument Ave

Renovation:

Along Grace St

A Jump to the 'City Center'

Federal Courthouse under construction

National Theatre in the distance... becoming a live music venue (similar to the Norva) by early 2007

I love the detail on the Berry Burk, renovation continues

Part II coming soon

Enjoy!

[wrldcoupe4]

Okay here's Part II... Enjoy!

Miller and Rhoads!

John Marshall

this picture didn't turn out right... hmm

Conversion underway

There's actually water flowing on those rocks

Canal Walk

Interactive exhibit showing how the locks worked

La Diff

That's alll... should be more coming tomorrow

[BGW]

Todd Lofts.. I think this is totally occupied:

An acquaintance lived there 3-4 years ago and it was mostly occupied then. Like any rental place, it ebbs and flows.

[TBurban]

Awesome pics as usual! Its so busy down there. Love the Canal walk shots, especially the one with the crane for vistas sticking out of all that greenery. Everythings happening all at once.

[Cadeho]

The fountains around the city are on. During the winter I guess they turn most off so they wouldn't have burst pipes I guess. Seems like I missed the water in the lock exhibit. The only ones that stayed on were the one in Shockoe Slip and the one behind the Bojangles statue. I got some of the one at 7th and Tredegar recently.

Thanks C.

I've started carrying my cam with me most times I leave the house, just in case. There's been plenty of times I wish I had taken it. Ironically, even though I've started doing that, today I feel completely bored with taking pics. I feel down for some reason and it started last night. The sky was nice and blue and it's a perfect day especially being in the 60s for me to take a hiking walk. I guess I'm a little hampered by family wanting to borrow me today. Tomorrow will be good too but then it's back to work... At least I get off when it's still sunny now. Yesterday after work I took some pics.

If I take pics tomorrow I guess I'll tally the count for April. I don't think it was like March.

[wrldcoupe4]

I love it when they turn the fountains back on... I'm almost tempted to buy like 10 City of Richmond flags and donate them to the city so they can put them on those damn flagless flagpoles all over the place!

Anyways, here's some from today... Part I:

Philip Morris... flying along

Convention Center... I think there was some kind of national competition there this weekend:

Richmond Federal Building in the background

New Federal Courthouse again

Along Main St

Still workin...

Little guys powerwashing the sides!

More coming right up

[wrldcoupe4]

Canal Locks

Floating Stage being set up for a concert/festival this afternooon

New Furniture Store at 14th and Cary: These Four Walls

R-e-n-o-v-a-t-i-o-n

They're repainting the Edgeworth smokestack!

Shalom

That's all I took. Felt like I took more really... ahh well, hope you enjoy!

[TBurban]

Coupe, youre shots are awesome! The composition of them are just incredible...great job as usual, and Ive been tempted to do some landscaping down at kanawha plaza. its city center and they have those old signs, and dead trees...gahh! Anyways, i think they need to do some beautification around that area. So you get the flags and Ill get the trees

[wrldcoupe4]

Thanks man I appreciate that, and I'd help with the trees even after buying the flags!

[Cadeho]

Something's wrong with me. It's a good day out, I want to take pics, and yet I don't want to go. The temperature is perfect for me and means not many people will be out as they would if it was warmer. It's a little cloudy though.

April as it stands:

4/2 - 56*, 287

4/3- 13*

4/9 - 400

4/10 - 272

4/11 - 36*

4/12 - 10*

4/15 - 433

4/16 - 201, 112* pics, 4 movies

4/20 - 175*

4/22 - 51*

4/23 - 133

4/28 - 79

Total - 2,258

* edited and resized

A 511 difference from March.

[TBurban]

I envy you when it comes to this Cadeho, very much. Who wouldnt? 2258 pictures Inbelievable. In April let alone.

[Cadeho]

Man Coupe, you must be saving a lot of pizza money! Oh I get why you were had to be dragged out to a movie! You must have used up a tank! You were plain everywhere!

Yeah Tommy? Can you help me edit them?! I overswamp myself! I'm still editing pics from mid March, the day I took 600 pics! But I've had a break from that so I guess I could get back into it.
