Cellphone Photography: TKE Elevator Test Tower Construction on a Misty Night

Here are some cool photos I took using my Samsung Galaxy S21FE smartphone camera. It was a foggy night and the lights were playing just right on a local construction site. This is the Thyssen Krupp Elevator (TKE) headquarters in Cobb County, Georgia, back when it was under construction.

The TKE test tower has grown into the tallest building in the Atlanta suburb of Cobb County, Georgia. It stands 420-feet high and is the largest elevator testing facility in the United States. It has 18 elevator shafts for testing and demonstrating TKE's state of the art products. It is the centerpiece of TKE's North American headquarters. On one foggy night back in 2021, I was able to get some cool photos of the facility as it was being built.

The adjacent building serves as the company's North American headquarters. It was eerily lit when I took these photos.

Does anyone make a new 35mm film camera in 2025? Yes, Pentax does. Check out the Pentax 17.  It's a half-frame camera with zone focusing (for 6 zones) and electronic exposure control.

This film camera takes photos with the same dimensions as cell phone photos. You turn the camera sideways to take a landscape oriented photo--just like a cell phone camera. It takes 2 photos per frame of 35mm film.  You can check this exciting new Pentax here through my Amazon Affiliate link. In this bundle, you get 3 rolls of Kodak Gold ISO200 film, a camera battery, and a cleaning cloth.
