Chevron Tower, Houston, TX
Rate my photo: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
I posted this on my photoblog a few days ago but I like it too much to leave it off Flickr so here's the mono HDR version of my Chevron Tower picture from last weekend's trip down to Houston. This is a 3 exposure, handheld HDR merged in Photoshop and tone mapped in Photomatix.
The building was previously the headquarters of Enron but is now occupied by Chevron.
This image featured in Flickr Explore for March 26th, 2009.
You really want to look at this large on black.
I would greatly appreciate your vote in the 2012 Photoblog Awards. Thanks!

monochrome is truly outstanding! Wow, someone at Chevron should really want to see this image! Geez, that sky! Could it possibly have been better?
DaveWilsonPhotography (39 months ago | reply)
Thanks all! @mothernature - if I got a chance to take this again, I would have used the tripod and tried to get a couple of feet lower to get more of the ring walkway in the frame. Given that I had to stand in the middle of the road to get this shot, though, that may not be too feasible.

Outstanding! I think this is the best of the series and each is top shelf (sort of like The Macallan, 18 yrs, my favorite from Speyside)! Favorite'd!!!

Great image. Steel and glass make this perfect in B&W. The bottom and side framing makes it for me.
