Favorite Skyline Shots

[OKCisOK4me]

Yeah, I saw it tonight on KFOR. I thought about posting on Tuttle's Facebook page saying "yo, you're like 800 feet tall!".

Very nice time-lapse of downtown by Tanner Herriott:



Short, and no sound. But still a great visual -- those clouds bubbling away and moving over the downtown skyline...



Apparently, this was the shot location and equipment, above.

He also has a couple of other short-but-sweet time-lapse videos of downtown:

Dang. That's about a $30,000 camera, if memory serves.

Probly shot in 4K.

This is a cool shot:



Love the coloration. Too bad DT's crown is not lit, and that so many buildings are dark (but it's twilight -- probably just before a lot of the lighting kicked in).

I am so aching for the Devon Tower to get some bright, colorful company in that skyline!

Great aerial posted at the City Of OKC facebook page:

It's quite recent too, as you can make out the construction and steel frame at the downtown elementary school.

Looking at the shot reminds me of how great it would be if/when we take out the Cox Convention Center, re-instate California, and then put in a collection of mid to high rise buildings there.

Looking at this reminds me how much I want to doze the century center, if for no other reason that the Baum building used to sit there.

I was getting ready to type virtually the same exact thing. I wish I knew how to do a digital rendering (like you)...oh hey, say, can you do that for us? Pretty please Praedura?? With sugar on top???

You know... I just may do that. At least put it on my to-do list.

I was looking at that aerial shot and thinking about how to populate the center section, and then I had a idea.
Specifically, if you have a tried-and-true building design that has stood the test of time, why not just re-use it?

And so...



I call this composition... 'ChaseTown'

Looks like a circuit board.

Oh crap. The Vogons are here.

While the tower's design holds up well for buildings of it's era, variety is certainly a virtue, the cluster replacing the myriad kind of starts to feel like a 60's style projects.

Reminds me of Inception.

Would rather see the Arena and Exhibit halls sit empty and collecting dust than see that nightmare happen.
Hmmmm, would that be something like stagecenteritis?

No. This is the new order. You must come to accept it. Resistance is futile.

Insight Visual Media has posted 4 new aerial shots of OKC on their facebook page.
All taken from over the Medical District area:

That third one is outstanding and an angle you don't often see. Love the density in the middle left; DD and BT.

Thanks for posting these.

How did they do that? Did they photoshop?

From that area of Lake Hefner, you can see both skylines pretty well on a clear day.

It's all about the lens.

I wanted to make a snarky comment about how Founder's is almost as tall as Devon and that we should have put that tower down there…but then I decided I didn't want to deal with all the people telling me how that's not possible...
