Phoenix Suns – March 7, 2013
Phoenix Suns
So on March 7, 2012 I know what I did afer work. I walked around downtown Phoenix scouting locations for a upcoming photo shoot. The shoot never took place, but I have some great pictures from the day. My friend Josiah and I walked around for a couple of hours, and found some really great locations. This would be a good area for some old car pictures. Lots of brick buildings, some painted, some original brick with faded old signs of companies long gone. This is right around the corner from the US Airways Center, where the NBA Phoenix Suns play. This is not a good season for them ……. Canon 30D, ISO-100, 17-40mm L lens at 17mm, F8, 1/320 sec. Saturation and sharpness increased in LightRoom.
T-Mobile “Favs” – January 17, 2013
So its NBA All Star weekend in Phoenix Arizona, with the Phoenix Suns playing host. This is early February 2009. T-Mobile puts a “skin” on all four sides of the Bank of America building. It becomes the biggest billboard in the “Valley of the Sun”. I count 16 floors. This image was taken from Chase Field’s parking garage, the top floor. Workers are taking the “skin” off the building. It was truly amazing to watch these dare devils remove these stickers, for lack of a better word. They would roll up a 4-6′ section at a time. I do not know how long it to put up, but it was several full days to take it down. Canon 30D, 18-55mm lens, at 20mm, F-13, 1/160 sec, ISO-100, using my Bogan tripod and ballhead.
