Southern Photos of the Day

[burt]

Columbia, SC skyline:

Is the building in the foreground a convention center? It looks very large.

[krazeeboi]

Actually, no; it's a post office (which I wish would be demolished to that the park behind it could be expanded). The convention center would be to the right of this photo.

Here's a shot of the historic Palmetto Building in DT Columbia undergoing conversion to become a Sheraton boutique hotel:

These are AWESOME, fellas!! Keep 'em coming!

Here's a shot of the historic Palmetto Building in DT Columbia undergoing conversion to become a Sheraton boutique hotel:

Sheraton is under the Starwoods umbrella and they are pushing a new "chic" type of boutique hotels called aloft (no capital letters). Maybe that's what this great building in Columbia will become.

These are AWESOME, fellas!! Keep 'em coming!

Time for some from your new Canon, Tommy!

[krazeeboi]

^I'm familiar with the aloft brand, but I don't think this will be one. Their designs also tend to be very contemporary/trendy in nature.

Awesome shot, Krazee! I've really been enjoying your photos over the last few weeks.

Downtown New Orleans:

Awesome shot, Krazee! I've really been enjoying your photos over the last few weeks.

Downtown New Orleans:

WOW!!!!!! Fantastic photo, NCB! I really love the lighting and the hue.

[krazeeboi]

Thanks, NCB; you've really been outdoing yourself lately with the shots of New Orleans, and I've got to agree with Skyliner about the one you just posted. It's just plain awesome.

First Citizens Bank HQ building, downtown Columbia:

[nowensone]

^ Great pic Krazee. You know, I think we have enough great photographers on this site to start a business for this kind of stuff.

[wrldcoupe4]

nice shot. That building looks good... very balanced.

[krazeeboi]

Thanks, guys.

[NCB]

Thanks for the comment on my photo, guys! And another great one from you again, Krazee! What kind of camera do you use?

The Crescent City Connection spanning the Mississippi River in New Orleans:

[krazeeboi]

^I use a Sony DSC-W7.

Another shot from downtown Columbia:

[GvilleSC]

I love the reflections! You've been capturing some great compositions lately Krazee.

[krazeeboi]

^Thanks, and there's more to come!

[krazeeboi]

I call this one "Three Spires." This was taken in uptown Charlotte on W. Trade Street. The building in the foreground is Trademark, a condo tower under construction (it's nearly complete), followed by its neighbor the Carillon Tower, and the Interstate Tower in the back.

[NCB]

Wow, another awesome photo, Krazee! Great composition and color in that one!

Here are my two photos, both of the Saint Louis Cathedral in New Orleans:

[krazeeboi]

^Thanks.

That cathedral looks so European. Great shots!

[krazeeboi]

Some night shots from uptown Charlotte. I call this series "Crowns."

Hearst Tower:

IJL Tower:

BOA Corporate Center:

[burt]

Terrific pix, Krazee. Uptown CLT is an illuminated Wonderland and you have expertly photographed it.

But I'll still take Manhattan with The Chrysler and Empire State towers.

[NCB]

Love those crowns and the somewhat uniform look of those buildings, Krazee! They all mix very well with one another.

Baton Rouge really doesn't get too much exposure in this thread, so my next few photos will be from Louisiana's capital city.

I'll start with a photo of the Louisiana State Capitol taken with my old Canon Powershot:

[TBurban]

Awesome shots, fellas!!

The Belle Isle Pedestrian Bridge

The mighty James River and Belle Island

Richmond

Expect to see dramatic change in this photo within the next few years. 5+ skyscrapers will be joining the current ones
