Posted by Ron (Saint Louis, United States) on 23 April 2008 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.
Lumen, a private event venue, located in St. Louis' Downtown West neighborhood features 20-foot windows in the space that once housed St. Louis' premier Packard (automobile) dealership. The remainder of the space has been converted into 33 loft condominiums.
Another beautiful night shot Ron. Nice place to live.

great shot, there is a real 'glowing' feel to almost every part of the shot.

Wonderful shot. Lumen is a fortuitous name as the building appears almost luminous.

Stunning presentation of this building, love the lighting....

The city is so tranquil and beautiful at night. A great image!
23 Apr 2008 3:08am
so beautiful!

Excellent night shot, Ron!

Wonderful night shot, really beautiful.

I love how this building is lit...just beautiful. Great capture. I think I like this one better than the other one (and I really liked that one as well). Love how you captured the moody clouds/sky. Beautiful job. Definitely a fave.

Well done Ron, great night image

I'm so glad to see more of your night shots, which I think are just terrific. Here the overall blue tones really bring the photo into compositional coherence. I like the angle you've taken. Just as a suggestion: to add to the feel, what if you cropped out the buildings on the left side. That "opens" the photo on that side and gives the street even more command of the image, and also increases the feeling of the building's (Lumen) presence. Just a thought.

Ron, another great photo. The Blue light of the windows matches the night sky, giving the building a very powerful look. I like the low level framing also.

awesome

I Like the image. Looks like a long exposure. Well done!
23 Apr 2008 9:50am
Fabulous colors and light.

A fabulous night shot Ron, the blue light is amazing.
23 Apr 2008 11:24am
That's absolutely smashing! I LOVE your photos and this here is exactly what I love the most. Wide angle lens, early morning (or evening) shot, beautiful mix between day and artificial light, cold and warm tones and the photo that tells a story... Great Ron, really great!
www.wysterior.com works well now, I'd like to invite you to to stop by and have a look ;)

Exquisite blue tones and a point of well chosen, really good shot

Love the tones and colour. The framing also is exceptional. For my personal taste, I would have like the main building corner to have been 100% perpendicular, but that's just me.

Wow, exellent blue tones, great night shot!
23 Apr 2008 2:46pm
Marvelous shot, the colours and lighting are really great.

Great shot - the colors and lighting fantastic. What kind of exposure did you end up with - I noticed it didn't show up in the EXIF data. I like the road to the left - it draws you into the picture.

@Chris: Thanks Chris; it's actually one of my first attempts at HDR ... so its a combination of three exposures ...
mysterious blue lights in the window and behind the building makes this pic even more intriguing.
23 Apr 2008 6:49pm
Beautiful. I like the color combination blue-orange in this picture.
23 Apr 2008 7:07pm
beautiful light and colors!
23 Apr 2008 8:17pm
This is really stunning! The shades of blue and the orange lights are superb.
23 Apr 2008 11:41pm
Yes, gotta love those drapes of blue . . these are exceptional images in this series.
24 Apr 2008 1:28pm
I love how the windows are so luminous and that pov you've used. Excellent!
24 Apr 2008 7:09pm
Great night photo!
25 Apr 2008 8:55am
What marvelous blue!
27 Apr 2008 3:10pm
Awesome composition! very beautiful colours!

I like the strong contrast and the overall blue color
