Chrysler Building mirage Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Chrysler Building appeared in a hazy mirage...for just a moment...and then it was gone...

This is the view I noticed in a battered, mirrored column, across the street from this Art Deco masterpiece. It was only visible from a certain angle, with me bending backwards to fit all of the 77 floors into the frame.

Brenda the image has attracted my attention to comment here. I love the wide angle and upwards view. The street lamp included is also a vital part of this scene. Its interesting to say the least. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Brenda

Very well seen, and excellent executed. It looks like a painting or drawing. Your angle is very good, and it is really well composed and brilliant framed by the interesting triangles in blue and black. Great job! Thanks for sharing. Have a great weekend.

Best regards, Erling

Hi Brenda,
for me the Chrysler building is the most photogenic object in NYC and you captured it in an unusual angle. Good image formation. A pity that the mirror is not so clean as it could be.
Good one !
Compliments, Chris

Hello Brenda,

I am having a hard time picturing how you captured this reflection on a convex cylindrical surface, but it is very effective. The surface must have been smooth and uniform, and the light just perfect.

Warm regards, Brenda. Have a good Sunday.

You've done a good job Brenda...this is quite an original view of the oft photographed subject. I would have liked to see the battered, mirrored column where the reflection was seen, in the Workshop. Good effort, for this very original view Brenda...well done!

Hello Brenda
A very original mirrored image POV of this building, a view to the heavens - nice spot. The street light captured here appears to be watching your every move, Big brother perhaps?
Well done and greetings from Melbourne, Australia
