I need suggestions. I dont want to have to go back up there again. I have Hight issue.
Will be going just after sunset.
I will be shooting with:
Nikon D90
sigma 10-20mm f3.5
Nikkor 24-70 f2.8
tripod

It will probably be thick glass. Sky is clear today. but it will be dark. so will probably be with the city lights.

Any suggestion and comments apppreciated.

Thanks Ahead.

you should be good with that equipement.
bring a wipe or something to wash the glass :lmao:

If that glass is like other buildings I have been to, there is space between the supports and glass itself. That is a structural design to help keep the wind from breaking the glass.

I have passed my lens between these portions to help aleviate the glare/dirty glass ruining the image. Or, position yourself so the glare/dirty/smudges do not affect the image.

You'll probably want something to shield the lens from reflections on the glass. A rubber lens hood, or even a black towel. Have fun! Sounds exciting!

Thanks i will keep that in mind. I just hope that lighting inside will not create alot of reflections.

Thanks. I will shoot with the lens hood. and will have a towel with me.

How would the curve of the glass affect the pictures? I mean it will probably be quite thick and reinforced. Any idea?

maybe some glass cleaning liquid?
but probably mos of the stain and dirt would be from the outside. And i dont think they would allow me to go out and clean that up.

The towel is a good idea. I have to remember to put a small towel in my bag.

Wowwwww. I want to see these photos man.
Try the shamwow, maybe it will clean the windows and get rid of any access dampness.
