Tower hotel 1/50

My new 50 images project will be 50 different images of this building:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotel_Torni_Tampere
fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%B4tel_Torni_de_Tampere

My wife used to shoot this rather ugly tower seen from various sides of the town. I have also taken quite many shots of it already:

The personal challenge is to find 50 new ways to photograph and edit the images of this tower. Shooting part is easy because the tower is only two blocks away from my home, and I walk past of it almost every day. Therefore it should be rather easy to capture it in different times of day and year, and in different weather. But then I of course also try to implement everything I have learned about ways to compose and edit images.

Sami Serola (inactiv… replied to Marko Novosel:

I actually rotated the camera. Notice the exposure, 1 sec. I hold the zoom/lens softly between my fingers to get as smooth camera movement as possible. Then obviously the camera was somewhat still in the beginning the exposure to get some sharp details.

I am sure you'll come up with 50 vastly different and interesting photos! I like what you did with this one, I'm doubtful I would have achieved such a smooth ICM!

Sami Serola (inactiv… replied to Gudrun:

I do recommend trying. Another option is to rest the zoom/lens against some static object like railing, and then turn (tilt) the camera body.

Update, a quick test on this idea:
Vertical tilt
