Oh. Wherever it is--it is too far away to be of any use to anyone...it always looks like a fog has enveloped the city...

Things are getting pretty dull on this thread...except for the praiseworthy and very generous work by William Hider with his extraordinary videos...his cinematography is wonderful...quite professional and far better than you normally see anywhere. It is the tiny nuances all over his work that are unique...zooming, editing, selections to photograph...these are not small things and if he is not a cinematography student or professional--he certainly OUGHT to be...native talents like this are NOT commonplace. Well done, William.

Thanks a lot. I didn't have any previous experience except for photography until I picked up this camera over the summer. It's the same basic idea, except it's faster paced. I just shot a lot of video for two concerts this past weekend so those will be the next big thing coming in the next couple days. Last night I was at the old Poncan Theater.

Maybe it's pointed at the Politics forum of this site?

No...I think that would technically be a pall...

Keep at it, the most talented people often do not have a full realization of what they possess...in my experience. Obviously--it is something you enjoy...if one connects what you really enjoy with a vocation...bliss can be the result. I seldom compliment people just to do so. I do like to comment on the unusual. Perseverance is the arbiter which decides who is Shinola--or--the other stuff...

I wonder if people today even know what shoe polish is?...

Has anyone started to try and pinpoint the exact date for building height completion?

This could be a fun guessing game. Not for the building to be completed, only for the exterior structure height completion.

I will estimate, the 6th of October 2011.

I'm gonna go with my stepmom's Birthday, August 28th, 2011.

I was down by the tower today. Since scale is getting harder to see from the webcam I tried to get some shots of areas we haven't seen in a while.

Looking North


Looking Northwest


Lobby (note the sheen of the glass that has been installed)


East side of Podium


Another Lobby shot


Looking South at Podium staircase

View from Devon Boathouse


Hope you enjoy these photos.

P.S. For the record I've really been enjoying the videos.

[OKC@heart]

Nice shots Jonno! Thanks for taking the time to post those great shots!

[swilki]

I too made it downtown today - gotta love federal holidays! Haven't seen a pic taken from this side of downtown in a while (looking SE). Pardon the quality, all I had was my cell phone.

^^My favorite angle viewing the skyline,would be real Awesome at night!Thanks for posting!

[Dustin]

VERY NICE Jonno and swilki!

[Dar405301]

[OKCisOK4me]

Me too. The buildings are much more condensed from this angle!

[soonerwilliam]

I agree. I really like that view of downtown. Also, have they started the 30th floor/story yet?

[dmoor82]

Me too. The buildings are much more condensed from this angle!

^^My Least favorite angles are from The SW part of The city, like coming from The Airport or from The NE part of The city like around The Med.district or The State Capitol!

Hello - long time lurker and first time poster. I own a webcam and work in the Chase Building on a fairly high floor. I will see about setting up the cam up here for you guys. It may be a bandwidth issue, but at the very least, maybe I can figure out how to send still pictures every hour or somesuch. Anyway, I would post a pic I took today with my iPhone from where the cam would be located, but apparently, I need to be a member longer to do that. Coming soon, I guess!

[Pete]

ChaseDweller, thanks for your interest and kind offer! I sent you an email about how we might proceed.

Also, you should be able to upload your photo now -- we simply moderate the first few posts of all users to avoid the board being spammed.

Not yet. They are working on the ceiling for the 28th level or the floor for the 29th level depending on your point of view.

[hipsterdoofus]

ChaseDweller, that sounds great! Even updating once every 10 minutes or 5 wouldn't require much bandwidth at all if it is a still image. Could probably work something out where it uploads the image to somewhere offsite so you aren't serving out to everyone on the board.

[Thunder]

True. I have used CoffeeCup's software to upload images from my cam when I had it on a tank every second. For this project, every minute or five is fine. There are many free hosting to set up with a simple code on a web page to display the images on whatever intervals.
