Here is a pano I took tonight. I didn't really edit it other than evening out the levels. I have a bunch more to come, but had to save the best for something else.
Sorry about the laziness. I didn't get rid of the tripod shadow. Terrible, I know.

Bonus pic! Snapped this a few weeks ago.
I've got hi res of both! just don't jack 'em.

Sweet pano Arriviste

Nicely done!

Arriviste · #75 Posted: **Oct 11, 2008, 4:28 PM**

Thanks guys! Now who knows how I can get up on top of a tower DT to do a really nice pano?

Edit: Check this out. I made it into a virtual tour. Go full screen, pan up, down, whatever. I've still got to get rid of the tripod shadow, and touch it up a bit, but I needed to get it up.

woah. bad ass.

Actually a few forumers have taken shots from the top of towers lately. I think one from the BMO building. Regulator75 - his shots are in the Canada section post pictures of your city thread I think.

For the quick route:
Look for Office Towers that have single night guards, perferably a tower you either work in or are seen in so the guard wouldn't be incredibly surprised.

Towers that have single guards that I know of:
Watermark Tower
Stock Exchange Tower
Fifth and Fifth

Befriend the guard, they will have you sign a liability form, and then could let you on the roof. Of course this is all their discretion and they really shouldn't be letting you do this.

Long route:
Talk to the property managers, maybe make a form letter of what you want to do, when, and whether you want it to be recurring. Offer to supply them the finished product and a couple other pictures of their building for their promotional materials en gratis in exchange for access.

Easiest way to get the letters to the property managers would be to drop off letters at security while walking the +15 network one day.

You won't get in with everyone, but there would be some that would be fine with it. Again, you would likely have to sign liability forms and whatnot.

I used to work security at Westview Heights, the view was pretty sweet. I *may* be taking over as head of security in one of the towers in the beltline (don't ask I won't say which one.) so I may be able to get some roof shots off of it.
