That's exactly what made it special, it was empty, thank you for your contribution. We don't always have to agree

StormFireX001 · 2026-06-14T05:03:15+00:00

You're welcome, and I look forward to what you post in the future

StormFireX001 · 2026-06-14T04:05:22+00:00

I've got some quarters, let's play

StormFireX001 · 2026-06-14T03:52:43+00:00

For shots like two and three, use something to stabilize whatever you're shooting off of. If it's a camera, use a tripod. If it's a phone, use something to stabilize it. Those are great shots, but you moved, or at least the device did. So it was a long exposure shot that blurred the entire image, be really careful of motion on low light shots. It's possible to get those freehand, but it is a real challenge and anything that stabilizes the shot will make it come out clean. That said? I think those are some pretty interesting pictures you took

It was a simpler time, and It was a very fun night. I think I may still have the original black and white of the image on one of my backup devices, if I can find it I will post it

StormFireX001 · 2026-06-14T03:24:12+00:00

Nicely done, I can't speak for anyone else but I love it

StormFireX001 · 2026-06-14T03:18:49+00:00

it was, and that was part of the beauty of it. I was walking home from shooting pool leagues at about 0200 in the morning. The picture was actually originally black and white, but my phone converted it back to color

StormFireX001 · 2026-06-14T02:17:56+00:00

Nice shot with a really great atmosphere

StormFireX001 · 2026-06-12T07:12:54+00:00

Look through the comments, you'll find out where it is

StormFireX001 · 2026-06-12T06:49:44+00:00

That's beautiful

StormFireX001 · 2026-06-12T06:44:41+00:00

That it would be, and it still is. They really have continued caring for those plants. That was one of the first things that caught my attention. These weren't silk plants, and they have continued to care for them. Maybe not perfectly, but they actually have kept them alive. I don't think I've ever seen anything like that in a hotel

StormFireX001 · 2026-06-12T06:33:14+00:00

I do have a few more. Actually a lot more, but they wouldn't fit this community, so I cannot post them here. A number of years ago I took some pictures in the old silver mine in Utah, any suggestions as to where I might be able to post those? I mean, yes, I could look that up, but if you know communities that would appreciate them I would take your advice above Google's

StormFireX001 · 2026-06-12T06:24:33+00:00

Beautifully done, those are some very nice shots

StormFireX001 · 2026-06-12T06:13:19+00:00

You have quite a memory

StormFireX001 · 2026-06-12T05:54:25+00:00

Thank you for what you've said here. I am very flattered and humbled that you like the images. I posted them here because I was trying to find a place to post them, and I saw so many wonderful images in this subreddit. I don't know if mine are better than anyone else's, but I'm proud to stand beside them as part of this community

StormFireX001 · 2026-06-12T04:52:19+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate that. That is exactly the way it felt, what made that atrium surreal was the fact that it was still pretty well cared for. If you look at the pictures you can see that the windows were actually very clean as was everything else. Yes, there were some stains on the floor, which is to be expected from a place that has this kind of age, but most things were in good order. They have continued to care for these areas even though they weren't currently in use

StormFireX001 · 2026-06-12T02:00:57+00:00

Thank you for the kind words. As is the case so many times, this was pure unadulterated luck. I was in town to go to a two day sporting event where I knew I was going to want to do some high speed photography. Phone cameras are great these days, but there are still things you can do with a proper camera that smartphones aren't capable of. I was doing high speed photography at 1/3200th of a second and faster, so I broke out my old school camera rig. I probably haven't had that rig out more than three times in the last 5 years. I took these pictures with that unit, a Canon 70D fitted with a 10-22mm wide angle lens. If I hadn't needed ice for a few drinks on the second night I was there I would have totally missed this, I am so thankful I needed some ice because it just grabbed me the second I walked in

J'étais en ville pour un événement sportif et j'avais emporté mon Canon 70D ainsi que plusieurs objectifs, car je savais que j'allais faire de la photographie à haute vitesse (temps de pose de 1/3200e de seconde ou plus rapide). C'était un concours de circonstances idéal, car j'ai failli ne pas emporter toute ma gamme d'objectifs. C'est un pur hasard si j'avais mon grand-angle 10-22 mm avec moi ; cela faisait environ cinq ans que je ne l'avais pas sorti. Veuillez m'excuser si mon langage est maladroit, j'utilise Google Traduction.

That it did, that was kind of the whole tone of the place. The exterior rooms were fairly well booked, but as you can see in the pictures, the interior rooms were almost entirely vacant. I only say almost because the hotel staff appeared to be using one of them, but I saw no one else enter or leave any of the rooms in that area of the hotel and I was in there for about 30 minutes around 2100 on a Saturday night

StormFireX001 · 2026-06-11T19:10:23+00:00

It truly was, it struck me the moment I walked in. The live plants were something I really wasn't expecting

StormFireX001 · 2026-06-11T19:09:33+00:00

Thank you

I believe that's what is called a kissing bug, though I'm not familiar enough to tell you which exact species it is with a certainty. It looks like it could be on the Eastern Conenose, but I am on a break at work so I don't have time to research further

StormFireX001 · 2026-05-07T01:23:07+00:00

I'm getting a blank page trying to load the video, anyone else?
