I've had a few people say it looks like a render before and I totally agree. It is touched up in lightroom a bit but not much, just straightened a little as it was slightly off center before and it drove me insane to look at lol I had to smooth a little bit of image noise out too since it was such a high ISO photo as they had all the lights down low late at night. Other than that it's pretty untouched, I don't like to edit photos too much when going for a liminal shot.
Huh that's cool! Most ones I've stayed at in the past have unfortunately been kinda... sterile? Looking, it was really cool staying at this one, I got a few film photos as well but this was easily the best I got on that trip.
I’m also realizing you posted a metric crap ton of killer landscape photos today. I think I’ve liked 7 of them at this point. Please keep posting. Username is also 🤘🏼
Hey thanks! I was wondering if I'd actually posted a bit too much today lol I've got plenty more so don't worry they'll keep coming! Your username's pretty sick too ngl 🤙
Forget liminal spaces. I'm afraid of manmade heights. My body would be at a 45° angle to the right. Thumping every door and window along the way. I HATE those kinds of hotels, and I bet they have a glass elevator too.
They did indeed have a windowed elevator so I had to stay on the side close to the balconies, I'm actually really afraid of heights myself, if I look down from too high at close enough of an angle I get really bad vertigo, I have since I was a little kid when my grandpa took me to the roof of an animal feed plant he managed and I looked over the edge with him (I am very very midwestern), honestly, focusing on the viewfinder or screen of a camera really helps with it, sorta turns the depths in a "2D" field that I can deal with much easier, part of why I love photography as an art form.

Sure gives me the creeps. I thought it was a raytracing flex at first too.

That carpet is amazing! 😍
THIS is liminal space ! Beautiful picture !
This is the pyramid hotel in Vegas right?
It's actually the University Plaza Hotel in Springfield, MO. Most surreal looking hotel I've ever stayed at lol
I imagine there's many hotels that look like this. I came to ask if it was one in SOHO, NYC. Looks JUST like it.
