GZ keeps getting better and better. I want to visit again as soon as possible, but I also want to wait until everything is finished (whenever that is). I'll just have to go multiple times.

6the tower's elliptical, so it looks slim from far, but gets wider as you approach it. AS for those wide angle shots, you also have to account for the lens stretching things on the sides.

This...

Those are different angles though. The top one is shot from the side, which I believe is fatter anyways. The second one seems like it's from the back (the structure is higher than the floors and the GZ IFC is behind), which is thinner.

you're right though, the tower is elliptical. really nice effect imo.

Guangzhou just started the Asian Games 2010, nearly as many athletes as the Olympics and an opening ceremony that's cost twice as much as the Beijing one...

Chinese cities and their skyscrapers are so well lit. Love the futuristic effect.
