That's quite a lense you have, Jerry. You can probably tell what the guys are eating for lunch with that thing!

The camera is a Canon S3IS (IS is for Image Stabilization). After 50 years of age most people need image stabilization as we can no longer keep our hands stable. My friend passed the camera on to me when he bought the next generation S Series. Probably not the best camera out there but gives me good service. I'm amazed when on vacation at the tiny cameras the guys have that are so small but take such great pictures - and the technology keeps getting better!

How do they not fall off of there.

The guys have safety harnesses. A very dangerous job!

That is more or less it. I bought one for an ex girlfriend that always wondered off at parties. This fixed the issue right away.

Cute! It would be nice if my neighbors learned how to use theirs on their dogs when they get into the elevator at the Fox Plaza.

Any chance you can get a good close up shot inside those top units to see the layout inside are are you at too much of an angle from fox?

It also has to do with the fact that few digital cameras have optical viewfinders. It's a lot easier to hold a camera steady when it's being held up to your face so you can look through an optical viewfinder like all optical cameras had. It's much harder holding it out in front of you looking at an LCD screen.

Native...it is too far from the Fox Plaza to get a good interior view. The finished unites have windows therefore not a good view.

BT - my camera does not have a good LCD viewer so I use the small window which works very well for me.

This may be the last picture I upload of Trinity incomplete, as I will be leaving Sunday for the Atlantis Baltic Sea Cruise (Holland American's Eurodam) and I will not be back till August 4th.

As you can see from the picture not much needs to be done to complete the outside of the structure.

It has been fun watching Phase I grown in the middle of my view and look forward to seeing Phase II next year!

Thanks for the updates, Jerry, and have a great trip!

nativeguy1964 · #**713** Posted **Jul 18, 2009, 4:03 AM**

Thanks for the pics - that cruise is gonna be hella nice. don't behave.

Jerry of San Fran · #**714** Posted **Jul 18, 2009, 11:52 PM**

peanut gallery, nativeguy1964 - thanks for the well wishes. I will try my best to have a great trip.

No new work since yesterday afternoon, so I guess when I get home Trinity may be finished!

nativeguy1964 · #**715** Posted **Jul 29, 2009, 8:17 AM**

I have been in Europe for 2 weeks and just retruned this week visiting Copenhagen, Helsinki, Stockholm and more. The architecture was quite fascinating - they have their own sytle that I have not seen before. Very civilized cities!

I understand that the owner of Trinity Plaza wants to lower the number of people who can move into Phase I of the new construction with rent control, this according to my neighbor. Anyone have information on this development? True?

I went to a condo warming on the 20th floor of One Rincon Hill. Spectacular views from the floor to ceiling windows in the living room!

A view of Phase I - the penthouse is the only area without windows on my end. Thanks for the info. nativeguy1964 from your end.
