Pictures and Videos of Downtown Raleigh

Wasn’t sure the best place to post this but my friend created a scavenger hunt around DT Raleigh Scavenger Hunt: DT Raleigh Stroll

There were a few tricky photos that I couldn’t get without peeking at the hints.

Hargett Place? :tipping_hand_man:t3:

Ding ding! There was a drone flying over us tonight and I wondered if it was you.

Don’t usually see a downtown shot from the west side of the Citrix building. I thought it was a little unique.

I dug the reflection off PNC. I have some closer shots that came out great as well, but I’ll spare the forum and Leo’s storage space. :slight_smile:

Anyway we can get rid of the 3 posts in a row limit? At least for @OakCityDylan

Thanks, @Will! We’ll make due. I’ll try to put more pics in each post as well.

I’ve always loved taking sunrise/sunset pics of the Dillon. This is a unique shot from my past.

Some color enhancements caused this odd light bar on the right side. Might have had something to do with the vertial pano in the DJI software.

I don’t think SkyHouse looks bad at all. I may be bias, but we have way worse, and we could do way worse. I’m a fan and would be excited for another build like this in DTR.

Anyone who’s worried about the 3 posts in a row limit can always go back into their posts and just edited them to add more content. So, there’s that work-around.

Nice Top Hat clipping… :grin:

He could make an alter ego account, troll us, and comment on his own posts. Like a finsta…

There are some great views of downtown on Wake Forest road coming down the hill from Duke Raleigh Hospital towards the beltline that I don’t think I have seen posted here. Every time I drive that stretch I think I should take a picture. But 2 things stop me.

  1. My crappy cell phone camera would not do it justice.
  2. power lines and the beltline bridge bridge really ruin the shot.

Now if someone with a drone and good camera (hint, hint) could get up there and fly above the powerlines…

Go to the top of the parking deck at Duke Hospital. Pretty much same view as driving down Wake Forest Road and no traffic to fight with. Also good views of North Hills from there too. I haven’t been up there in several years, might need to venture out this weekend and take a few pics myself.

Be careful going up there, I’ve been kicked out a few times while trying to take pictures…

i just noticed that the FNB letters have finally been appended to the crown of the building. Am I just late noticing or is this a (relatively) new development?
