Nice set. I liked the shots of the medical tower with the different lighting and at different distances.

Good stuff.

Does anyone have any preferences between these three cameras?

1. Sony Alpha 100

2. Canon Digital Rebel XTi

3. Nikon D40

And any suggestions on good lenses.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Thx

Looks like the intial plans call for only 31 stories:

Betting on the continued strength of downtown's office market, Trammell Crow Co. is planning to build a tower on the eastern end of downtown near the convention center and Discovery Green, a 12-acre park under development.

The building, to be known as Discovery Tower, is designed to be 31 stories tall, including 630,000 square feet and 10 levels of parking. But the developer, which doesn't have a tenant for the building, said it could grow to 1.2 million square feet, depending on demand.

Moody Planning $80M Energy Corridor Project

HOUSTON-Following a six-month search for the perfect parcel on the west side, a local developer has acquired 12 acres in the Energy Corridor submarket for a mixed-use project. The estimated all-in development tag is $80 million.

Moody National Cos. bought the land at Interstate 10 and Texas 6 from Dallas-based Granite Properties Inc., which had developed the three-story, 50,000-sf Granite Park 10 on adjacent land. The just-acquired acreage will be built out with 175,000 sf of class-A office space, two hotels totaling 228 rooms and a 7,000-sf restaurant.

The developer plans to break ground on Moody Park 10 in about six months, beginning with the 127-room Hyatt Place and 101-room Marriott hotel.
