Photographer’s Note

More views from the 76th floor Grand Hyatt Shanghai which is currently the second highest hotel in Shanghai and the third highest in the world...I think.

Pekka,

Amazing "sci-fi archive" view - only it isn't ficition, as you describe, it's a real temporary archive for people!!

I have to wonder at the designers of such buildings, clearly imitating fantasy visions of the future - and visions which are usually created to illustrate the impersonality of society.

Ramblings aside - it's a cracking photo!!

Regards
Colin

This is a beautiful shot. I like the curves and repetition in this work. Thanks for sharing.

Hello! I've seen a picture like this one in a museum. That picture was something like 1 meter by 2 meters large (think about a museum). I have to say, I like you're treatment of light better than the one in the museum. This seems like something out of a science fiction film. Really well done!

Sincerely,
Kate

hi Pekka,
excellent perspective! I think I would feel a bit claustrophobic in this hotel, but your image gives an exact impression of the size and the atmosphere of this building.

Hello Pekka

Really impressive graphical shot ! Difficult to imagine that is a hotel... It's certainly impersonal, suffocating, and vertiginous but for photography, it's a great subject for sure ;o)
Your effective framing plays with the perspective in an excellent way.
A sharp picture, with a striking quality revealing many details and a light perfectly handled.
Compliments, I really like your composition and would have succeeded something like that.

Regards
Karine

Hello Pekka,
This photo is technically excellent, especially in the management of light, graphically arresting and thoroughly scary. I echo Colin's musings. I find it significant that only one human figure was visible when you took the shot! Terrific work.
Regards,
Mary
