A recent crystal clear day meant another go for the 24 foot tall tripod.

Matt,
Just when we thought that it couldn’t get any better, you launch another attack, from 24ft above, and leave us dead on the ground!!! This is an AMAZING new collection and I am truly glad that you took advantage of these beautiful days to take some more shots. Impossible to choose favorites, but if hard-pressed I would say that the RBC Plaza from 333 Corporate Plaza and the Two Progress Energy shots were simply fantastic!!!
Thanks for continuing to share your outstanding images with us.

Hi Matt, I’ve been enjoying your photographs for months…can I invite you to snap a few shots from the roof-top of West?

It’s the Hive, upstairs from Busy Bee on Wilmington.

I really like the Lenoir and Dawson angle….with the help of the Edison project and a few fillers that would be a great look for Raleigh.
Thanks Matt!!

Too bad Two Progress Plazza isn’t taller or in a better viewing position. It is one of the better looking buildings in DT Raleigh.

Good lord, that is AMAZING! On paper, 24 feet doesn’t sound like a great deal, but it really makes a huge difference. I love comparing the two shots from Dorothea Dix. Getting some altitude through and over that treeline does wonders for the perspective. Nice investment, Matt!
Emanuel, second your thought on Progress Energy Two. I love the roofline on that building, it would have looked really impressive with another 10 floors or so.

Normally I would agree but the work is excellent!! He makes Raleigh look good with plenty potential..Fans of other city skylines should be jealous of his work..
