Space station, a photo from Macau, Sud

Photographer's Note

Another POV of Macau Tower

The Tower is 338m high, the observation deck, seen from below, is 223m high. You may sky jump from there at a very reasonable price :) After that, go up again and have a meal at restaurant Tromba Rija. If you prefer to remain on ground, you have the nice café Madeira.

The construction began in 1998 and it was opened in Dec 2001.

*******
SkyJump

In this pic, roughly between 9:00 and 10:00 of the 'plate', you may see a platform over the outer rim; the gate to the jump is in the middle of that platform, you go out from there, suspended on a cable that hooks you to a bar, which slides through two vertical cables linking the two poles you may see on the extremities of the platform to the ground.
The flight takes 20" @ 75km/h, decelerating as you approach the ground :)

Wonderful detail and good choice with the B&W as it really brings out the lines throughout this shot.

A fine light and a fine POV. Good in B&W. Could maybe even be crop a bit harder on the left?

Hello,
nice picture, the angle you've taken it makes the building look like a spaceship on the platform ready to take off.
Nice work.

Interessante, apesar de ser mais uma destas torres urbanas. ("Mais uma" torre, não é "mais uma" foto.)
Será que ganhou em ser a preto-e-branco?
É pena que por baixo o "circulo" esteja um pouco cortado; nota-se porque é antes de ser obstruído pelo "mastro".
Seja como for, está mais interessante do que eu esperaria de uma torre destas.

Hi Beijo,
Interesting photo... the composition you have picked is good, and B&W works well. Did you take this photo at night, or have you darekened the sky a lot?
Thanks. Lewis.
