Most of it is not drone, but you have to think a bit about the angle and duration to realize this. Merry Christmas

Just wanted to thank you for the Sutro Tower work (https://vincentwoo.com/3d/sutro_tower/), it was truly beautiful and I’ve been looking at it so many times, very nostalgic for me. This one is great too!

I took the time to figure out where you took the shots from. You were not kidding about risk, especially for 201 Toland, Jesus Christ.

Could you please review and follow the site guidelines? "Oh, who cares." is not an ok way to respond to someone's work on HN, and is particularly bad when a thread is just getting underway.

"Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

(of course I understand that it's disappointing when you're hoping for certain content and end up with something else, but still - please don't express that in a hostile way)

You changed my life with considerate moderation like this, so thank you for all that you do, thank you for keeping the ship on course.

God forbid someone expresses an opinion that's not blind praise of every random thing anyone does. OP pointed a camera at a parking lot "at some personal risk of injury". I should have pissed myself in awe.

Go do something useful, like moderate the actual trolling i see here literally every day. Too subtle for you to notice I guess.

I actually quite liked it, was somehow soothing, especially the car park that was used as a temporary location during the night.

If you like that sort of thing, see "AGV Garden".[1]

(This is the port of Rotterdam, ten years ago. Sped up about 3x. Most big ports look like that now. Automated driving works really well when all those pesky humans are out of the way.)

Very nice, quite enjoyed that.

It isn't what you were expecting-- but it's really good. Give it another look with no expectations.

I think the risk to safety was just existing in SF at night.
