This is another shot from my expedition into center city last night. I am not crazy about how I captured it but I thought I would post it. Maybe you guys can give me some ideas of what I can do better on my next trip.

Is there another angle you could have shot this at? I don't like those pilars in the way. They are too distracting for the building itself. Exposure on the building is spot on though. Great job on that. Where was this taken at?

This is between 2nd and 3rd on Walnut (I think) although I am not sure what the building is.

The pillars are what I look at first, but they lead my eye up to the building. The lighting is just gorgeous and it's so crisp. I really like this.

It is the former Stock Exchange building.

It is known as The Philadelphia Exchange, The Merchant's Exchange, or The Philadelphia Stock Exchange.

It was built in 1822-23. The marble lions that are at the site were imported from Italy.

Very cool.
