Montrose1100 Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 It's really nice to get some height and development on that side of the loop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luminare Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 That looks really tall for only24 stories Yep, forced perspective can make that happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Money Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 With the 5 story crown, I wouldn't be surprised if it stands ~400'. Should be a pretty powerful presence being that close to the loop! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monarch Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 why is this building looking as though it shall have at least 40 floors? it's only 24 floors... correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFootsSocks Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 I like that they use the 609 Main pic for the 5th slide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houstontexasjack Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 It looks closer to 30 floors, judging by its appearance relative to the Burns & McDonnell Plaza (1700 W. Loop South), which only has 15. This would be consistent with a 24-story tower with 5-story crown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pragmatist Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Shot of the foundation taken this morning: Amegy HQ site 1-28-2015.jpg Are you sure that's 610 in the shot? You must have Photoshopped out the other 100 cars that were originally in the image. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triton Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I think you guys are wrong. That's most likely how it will appear when driving south on 610. You should see just how tall Skyhouse looks when driving down 610! It looks like you will literally drive into it until you make the rightward turn near San Felipe. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toxtethogrady Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Great shot. Looks like another crane base on site. BTW, that La Quinta is very out of place there. Hope they eventually tear it down and re-develop that parcel. Yes, but they accept pets, so we like it a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wxman Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Holy crap, that last pic is awesome. Look at the birds (cranes) in the air. Wow. Truly impressive. That's my city right there! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montrose1100 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Off Topic - if anyone noticed a ton of buildings in the area are getting new paint. Thankfully, the White & Blue (left side, west of 610), was recently redone to almost it's original colors, and not the awful stripes anymore. It's the little victories...Anways, great pic Cloud. Is there an action setting with your camera/drone, or is this a still from a video? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cloud713 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 i didn't even notice the stripes missing! ha.thanks. not sure what you mean by an "action" setting, but i have the capability of starting/stopping videos during flight and snapping pictures/changing camera settings. that was cropped from a larger photo though so its lost some of its sharpness. I can't wait until we start getting some decent weather to take it out in, instead of all this drizzly/overcast stuff.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't wait until we start getting some decent weather to take it out in, instead of all this drizzly/overcast stuff..I have no idea how drones operate, but I imagine in the low light and lovely weather we have been having they might not have perfect stability? Not that there is anything wrong with the picture, but if there was a multiple shot option (action shot), it could make the photos have more clarity and sharpness.

Not that there is anything wrong with the picture, but if there was a multiple shot option (action shot), it could make the photos have more clarity and sharpness.The stability is actually pretty damn amazing. It's got a gimbal on it which allows the camera to stay level when the drone is moving around. And it has gps positioning to keep it hovering in place within 5-10 feet. If I do aerial videos without moving anything they literally look like traffic cameras. Lol. But yeah, overcast weather like in the image linked above causes the shutter speed to slow down to pick up more light, which makes images more susceptible to motion blur. I'm still learning so maybe I can tinker with some of the settings instead of having everything be on auto. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
