Wow, Everglades on the Bay just displayed the condominium Christmas Tree today! Getting a snapshot was a must. Although I was very surprised it wasn’t a palm tree, but instead the traditional pine tree. This is a really good look.

I sincerely wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a responsibly-celebrated New Years! c;

I’m officially in a relationship with my condo residence. Ha

It has begun. I’m now taking random hdr images of Everglades on the Bay. But it’s like a necessary-random, I think. This place has an incredible amount of eye-candy, especially the amenities level. But I seldom head down to this level for the 6 pools or the weight rooms. Why?

For one, we all know blasians don’t swim [ yes, I said it! and it's true >_< ] Secondly, there is still no one even living here, so the amenities level gives me that “I am Legend” feel. Awkwarrrrrddd. Although I do plan to check out that new spa that just opened. I’m secure enough with myself to say that busy men need massages once in a while. c:

OH & BY THE WAY: If you’re wondering whether or not this photo was taken in December… yea, it was, on a typically humid 85-degree day is good ol’ Miami, Fl. No snow, no breeze, no holiday feeling what-so-ever! Is this ridiculous? To me, yes it is. I’m used to having all four seasons [being from South Korea] and the humidity gets old after about… 10 minutes of living here.

So before you visit the Miami area during any part of the year, slap yourself for even considering to pack a scarf, let along a pair of jeans. c;

Whenever I pass through the lobby of my condo residence in dwntwn Miami, I always take its scenery for granted, until today.

It was around noon when I decided to take the front entrance of the tower I live in. [I had just come from class.] As soon as I entered I noticed something particular. It was so crazy how illuminated the lobby was; the sun was in the perfect place to cast shadows and brighten the indoor reflection off the marble floor.

I decided to go get my Canon D7 just to see what angles I could play with in the lobby. However, for about 10 minutes I got distracted with Jerry Springer, so the shadows started to disappear by the time I got back downstairs. Ha >_<

& then I grabbed a snack too, so I’m grateful for what I was able to capture, despite my procrastination. I believe the reflection of the walls and objects within the area mixed in with the shadows creates a really good look. c:

So here is another HDR image I thought would be worthy of sharing. Also, I decided to grayscale another image I took from a different angle in the lobby as well. If you’re viewing this from the xtii™ facebook fansite, hop over the the BW&G album to see what I’m referring to. Stay tuned | see you soon. ^^

IMAGE DEATIL |
[Make sure to view this image at the larger size to get a feel for its detail]

I’ve been meaning to upload this image for weeks now, as I took it in October for a school assignment. I really don’t like my film photography class at all [because I now despise film and its process] so I consistently find myself taking digital photos for homework. The professor gets really mad! Ha

I traveled a couple miles south of central downtown Miami to the Brickell district, where all of the true skyscrapers are located. There is a relatively new hotel/condo residence right across the bridge called the Viceroy Miami.

The exterior and interior alike of the Viceory include an abundance of fine cosmopolitan art. Just off of Brickell Avenue are these awkwardly-figured statues, representing the theme of expression throughout the entire place. Swag-crazy !

I’ve attempted to enter the neighboring Icon Brickell condo residence to get some shots of the amenities level, but I keep getting rejected. =/ If you don’t live there [or don't know anyone who lives there, its hard to get access ] Regardless, when you’re in the Miami area, go check out these two masterpieces.

This image is an HDR, and I had to do several masking processes in Photoshop to get the lighting just the way I wanted. I also used ‘High Pass’ [a technique that I stole from my Miamian colleague Pedro Alvarez] to obtain the crisp detail within the statues.

In honor of the first one to do it, the late great André Kertész.
For class, I was assigned to mock the style of renown photographers.
Thought it would be crazy boring, but I’m glad I did it. c;

Who said dwntwn Miami doesn’t have bright lights ?! Ha

I was really grateful to have gotten this shot! I was actually allowed access to one of the highest levels of my condo residence in dwntwn Miami. I’ve been craving this opportunity for months. c;

This image points to the south, toward the Brickell district. I am a serious fan of the Bank of America Tower [purple skyscraper at right] because decades it has managed to remain a highlight of the dwntwn Miami area, literally. It began groundbreaking in 1983 and to much surprise still has that modern look to it.

What separates this Bank of America Tower from its surroundings are the interchangeable LED lights that mock colors based on specific times of the year or event. [For instance, during Breast Cancer Awareness month, the tower was lit in pink] Remarkable idea, I love it.

This image also depicts the architectural renovation process of Miami. You can clearly see that the buildings start to look more modern as you track from the bottom of the image to the top, which is a true representation.

It really is only a matter of time before the Hyatt Regency Hotel and James L Knight Center [white buildings at center frame] are renovated and the same goes for much of the dwntwn area. I think its necessary and I look forward to seeing how Miami will look in 5 to 10 years from now. c;

This is a high dynamic range image and also my 1st taken with my new Canon D7 ! I used a -2 to +2 exposure metering [where I merged 3 images together during post production] No photoshop! was used during this process. I developed the image with photomatix and lightroom. c:

Believe it or not, I believe the most interesting section of this photo is actually in the very back. You can see a cruise ship from a far that separates the water from the sky! That divide gives the background more of a 3D-rounded look.

But hey! Please supply your critique on this image via commenting here or even via twitter. Is this image in or out ?
