post your Architecture photographs!

[Asher Kelman]

I've been enjoying the threads of rocks, trees, portraits, and bridges! How about some recent/favorite architecture photographs? I searched, but couldn't find a thread dedicated to this... so, lets make one!

Here's 3 from this passed weekend from a local photography meet up and shoot up!

Chamonix 4x5, 90mm Super Angulon on the first two wides, and the last shot was 240 G-claron. Tri-x 320 (click for larger versions)

This corner is easily passed. Few folk stop for a moment even to look up! However, this is one of my favorite Culver City architectural works that I always need to see more of. Kudos for you pictures!~

Another one, my first successful pano stitching using CS3:

The Fisher Concert Hall at Bard College, Annandale-0n-Hudson, NY

There's so much iconic motifs of Frank Gehry in this work. Amazing how similar it is to the Walt Disney concert Hall. The interior too!

If you love Gehry's work more pictures of the WDCH are here

Engl, great photo.
I have the same lens; I was wondering, did you have any Photoshop perspective adjustments to make after scanning, even minute ones?
I went out last week at night, to try and get something on film, but the city's gone "green" on me; most of the buildings and streets were almost completely dark.
I'd have been happy if I didn't have a camera.

I really like the work. Short enough exposure to avoid the Ektar color shift?

Thanks!

Yes, for that one shot I did use Photoshop perspective adjustments. I usually do not need to do that, but the image circle of the SWD-75/5.6 was not large enough to fit the entire building from the vantage point I wanted, so I tilted the camera upwards and then corrected in Photoshop.

Thank you!

I'm not really avoiding the color shift, the exposure here is 6 minutes long (mostly I shoot 2-5 minutes). I do the negative inversion myself in Photoshop which lets me take care of shifts in the central parts of the image, but as you can see along the edges there is still shifts going on due to vignetting. My scenes are lit by (very) mixed artificial lights and blue sky light, so everything has casts anyway, the film color shifts do not affect much. I would not want to display "neutral colors", and the colors are anything but neutral to the naked eye.
