Jin Mao/Grand Hyatt

[damonff]

The Jin Mao Building is the 3rd tallest building in the world after the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (considered one building), and the Sears Tower in Chicago. Inside, from the 54th to the 85th floors, is the Grand Hyatt, Shanghai. Here is the building, the view up from the lobby, and the view down from the 85th. I need to go back because these didn't turn out too well...

I'm so glad I'm not the only one stared at while making pictures like this :D I like them a lot, but it's strange seeing buildingpics from you! I like the last one the best, but "they didn't turn out so well" is probably about the slight lack of focus..it could be sharper? I just got back from those Petronas Towers in KL but onfortunately did't make it to go up. I made these;

Hey Simone. Yeah, definitely a focus/aperture issue. They looked fine on the lcd...how are the towers in person? Awesome??

Yeah, but most of all huge!! Last year I was there on some kind of National day and the towerlights had all kind of colours; beautiful! Too bad I have no pics of that. Another one of last tuesday:

Wow those are some really amazing shots! That first pic of the Petronas (SP?) Towers should be sold as a post card! WOW!

The composition of the first building is great! It is a lil fuzzy at the top but you know that. Keep it up guys!
