post your Architecture photographs!

Gerald, your photos are good, but they look like they have a little too much cyan.

So maybe you can be satisfait...





If you can imagine, there is a round window and a big piano inside...
a nice light will be shooting with a little more blu sky, but I was in the opposite part of the building
to shoot the others 2 pics, and this one is a "by night" version.

This reminds me of an alien.

David, nice capture here! this is indeed a nice temple, I did not know about this was really the first concrete one in Switzerland... impressive. Ive heared that this guy built another one just some streets away from this one. Maybe the corner of Kannenfeld park but Im not sure..

anyways, nice composition, I prefer yours to mine and the hour of day is better on yours as well...

I would see one with a very wide angle too, like 58 or 47mm portrait but possibly it cannot have shifted horizont...

Some excellent photographs on the last few pages - I'm particularly enjoying the mosque in Abu Dhabi, and gsinico's Calatrava and corn silos.

Earlier on this thread (page 127), Laron posted some photographs from Karl Moser's Antoniuskirche, a church in Basel that I'd frequently passed but never entered. On a long walk last weekend I finally went inside, and earlier today I brought my camera. Thanks, Laron, for introducing me to this building - the first concrete church in Switzerland;

Thanks for the feedback Ari.

Do you think this is simply down to using Velvia, or would you suggest I have a go at tweaking the colors in post?

In my expreience Velvia and Provia produce color casts... Sometimes they are more noticeable or distracting than others. You might want to try Astia.

Interestingly, I found an old brochure posted online from the developer of these buildings. It has a similar picture as mine, but taken from the rear of the building, and from a lot closer of a position. In this case I think I prefer my own version. Check it out:

This is one of the pictures I made, while being questioned by the police. See the thread about that encounter here.

I am not entirely happy with this image. I need to start over, but I got so tired of looking at it that I don't know when I'll get around to fixing it, so here it goes. I am open to comments, suggestions, and criticism.

Definitely much better I think. Yours that is.

I like this a lot. Great tones throughout and the comp has an excellent sense of mystery, with the cutoff beds and bedding on the floor. Very well done.

Was leaving the hotel room but turned my head to see whether i took everything with me. Closed the door, opened the Pelicase, assembled the Sinar and shot this one and the next one I'll post later today.
