Over the top ...

Over the top ...
... of the building.

Contribution for The Sunday Challenge #406: Over the top

Not exactly what I had in mind for this challenge. But because I happen to take the shot, and it seemed to vaguely go along with the expression, I decided to use it. Besides, I have had no time to come up with anything better.

And in a way this building is going to be "over the top", figuratively and literary: en.areenatampere.fi

It is built over railway tracks, and it will rice above almost all other surrounding buildings.

, Eva Wiren, Nouchetdu38, Heidiho and 30 other people have particularly liked this photo

Thank you, Marj =)

Somewhat over the top I also had to go, to get this taken. See the EXIF ;-)

F11 is the smallest aperture, and I had to choose as low ISO as possible to avoid most of the sensor noise.

Das könnte noch eine Idee für mich sein, denn ich habe noch kein Bild für heute ... Mir gefällt es auf jeden Fall

Lovely mirroring.
The mentioned website is spilling out 'over the top' language of how good it should be...
It says: 'bursting with international atmosphere' which means actally that only the big companies will be there. Companies which we already see in other big cities.

Thank you, Diederik =)

My thoughts as well! Although, I suppose much of the talk is aimed for 2022 IIHF World Championship. If they manage to get the arena built by then...

Love the starburst effects here. This would be a really nice Christmas photo too.

Ha ha ha! =D

I try to take another, more Christmassy shot in December, with the same effect (small aperture) ;-)

Thank you, Amelia =)

La symétrie parfaite aurait peut-être méritée d'etre "cassée" :
- par une rupture au niveau du charriot entre les grues au second plan
- ou par la suppression d'un spot à gauche ou à droite de ces 2 bras de grue .
- ou par la suppression d'une des colonnes en arrière plan.
Ainsi "Over the top" aurait eu plus de "force"

Je pense que cette "finition" supplémentaire après l'usage de "Miror" de PicMonkey... ou un autre logiciel, fait la différence entre "over the top" et "OVER THE TOP ".
;)

Je lis régulièrement tes tutoriels, instructifs

Thank you for the constructive feedback, Ghislaine. Much appreciated! =)

And you are absolutely right. I was lazy... =/

I try harder next Sunday! Even the original would have been better:
Over the top...

I've been keeping eye on that exact spot and composition almost on weekly bases, on my way to work. I should have trusted that idea!

Great job with the starbursts. I had a similar idea, but it is nothing as spectacular.

Well, I like your this week's contribution very much. But indeed I recommend going out at the "blue hour" ;-)

Also I should do that more often! And at this time of the year I almost can't avoid it because sun has not yet raised above the horizon when I go to work, and is setting when I go home.

Good idea Sami ... I also tend to lean towards your image prior to the mirroring. Just a personal preference. It really does make a good image. :)

Well, often the best way to learn is from mistakes =D
