High Reflection
This photo was taken in Aldgate, East London, while waiting to meet a friend of mine who worked in this building. I remember looking up and thinking "woah". I can't quite remember which camera I used but it's likely to be the Sony A6000 with a 20mm lens.

Microblogging. Is that still frowned upon here on Hive? I know it wasn't welcomed back on the old blockchain, especially if they started attracting descent upvotes.
The thing is, not all microblogs are equal. There are some folks here, one in particular that I won't mention, that post high quality one-photo posts with minimal text. Usually the text would describe the equipment used in creating the photo in a single sentence.
What people often fail to realise is the amount of work that went into creating the photo in the first place. In this person's particular case, they pay a model who does wardrobe and makeup. They set up lights and background. They take the photos, several photos most likely before arriving at the one that they want. They then spend some time editing the photo to produce the final product.
As you can see, quite a bit of work (and cost) can go into producing just one photo. It doesn't have to be a single snap on a phone. The thing is, back in the say photographs used to be respected as "art", or at least work, since only a few people could create them at all, let alone competently. Now we all cary supercomputers in our pockets that can capture a frame with stunning accuracy. As usual, the more abundant something is, the less valuable it is. There's a reason why many languages, have the same word for 'rare' and 'expensive'.
I want to be doing some microblogging on here and this was supposed to be one, but now it isn't haha.
Peace & Love,

Oh...I like this one.
Thank you :)
One of the buildings is an oldskool skyscraper while the glass one is a modern style one. I wonder if people working in the old one envy the fresh offices they can see through their windows :)
