As a semi-retired carpenter, I'm usually up and about earlier then most and often find myself in odd locations. These were taken with a Canon S2IS several years ago. These were taken of downtown St Petersburg, FL from about the 20th floor of one of two highrises being built. You can see The Pier, which is due for renovation; the Vinoy Hotel with the other highrise in the left corner; and the marina with part of the Honda Grand Prix course behind it. Yes, I am aware of the horizon issue in all of them.
Hope you enjoy.

All the horizons are sloping and boats running downhill
The last thing Larry said in the post was that he was aware of the sloping horizon lines....might try reading before you post......Nice shots Larry slope or not.

of course everyone knows that fl is on the very edge of the earths slope. if you try to make up the difference, the ships will slope the other way and could be damaged when they hit the pier. everybody knows this rule of shooting in fl. its in all the books by Ive Fallen and Cant Getup. right by the rule of 15/32.

Good shots to work with. I usually have to work on horizions when processing. I recently discovered a way to put a horiozn meter in my viewfinder so will try that.
Anywho here's an idea of what you could do with a little post processing.

Thanks. I have Lightroom and Photoshop CS6 (new) but just found these pictures on a stored hard drive and posted because of the "Drama' and beauty I am fortunate enough to view through my occupation. As I noted, these were taken with an S2 IS. I've since upgraded through an XTi to a T3i and some better lenses. These were more snapshots then anything else.
I guess I was just trying to share a view most people do not have the opportunity to see. I feel fortunate. Also I will stop being so lazy and strive to post more technically correct photos from this time forward.
Anyhow, Merry Christmas,
Larry Wilkerson
