Looking up
Recently I got out of the habit of taking my camera everywhere I go. I passed up several photo opportunities because I didn't have my equipment with me. Today I was determined to get back into the routine of taking time out of my day to take a few pictures.
I brought my camera with me when I dropped the kids off at daycare. On the way to their school, I made a mental note of several locations that peaked my interest. I was sure to stop at these places on the way home. I didn't spend too much time, but even 30 minutes was sufficient for a very pleasant and peaceful photo hunt.
This was one of the photos I took this morning. Because I live in the city, it can be a challenge to find a composition that has an uncluttered skyline. This large chimney provided a composition with a unique perspective and lots of negative space. I used my new polarizer to achieve the deep blue sky.

An interesting shot Timmy. Liking the texture on the chimney.
That's a very tall chimney. What sort of building was it on? I like the texture of it and the angle you chose. I'm not so sure about the sky. I know people have fun with their polarizers, but I've never seen the sky look that color of blue in real life. But in such things, I think it is a matter of individual taste.
Hi Timmybomb,
I was expecting to see Finn's Slew!
No good shots from last night?
I like this shot. It seems to lead you up & in.
I especially like the negative space.
See you soon, but not too soon. I have in mind to shoot some tourists in Steveston with you (maybe I need to make up some business cards first).
Give my love to Bethany.

Gotta love the polarizer! Great textures and of course the blue is gorgeous.
Yay for the polarizer and for taking your camera with you!! Love that blue sky!
Love the blues, great capture!
You chose good time of day. I like deep blue, and I know it's hard to find subjects in the city, but this is a good angle. How else could be good.. i like it.
I really like the angle you used, beautiful blue sky is amazing also.
Reminds me of the Twin Towers
The perspective and the mounts of blue sky works well together but I think the chimney is a bit too bright :-)
