That's very nice, Ari - the staircase looks like a giant cantilever.

This is from this morning - once again, the Herzog and De Meuron Actelion building, slightly cropped;

Now that is some trick.. Love it David

Great stuff, David.
I wish I didn't live in a city where box-shaped mirrored buildings were the rule.
Sigh...

Ari,
very nice picture.
I like the shapes and the red-green contrast.

That is some wild architecture.

Thanks, Andi.

Thanks, Steve, Ari and tuco.

David, super nice one of Actelion! beautiful tones! I also kind of like the undistorted (or distorted?) angle. Pretty nice sky too! Did you burn the sky in ps to get this nice balance? just wondering as I think I see a tiny bit of hollowing around the leaves or is it just sharpening?

[David Hedley]

Hi Laron - thanks. I had been waiting for a Sunday morning with the right sun and sky, as my previous visits have been after work in the late afternoon or evening, when the sun is directly behind the building and shining into the camera from that position - which is only a couple of meters away from yours, I guess! There is a bit of keystoning, and I should have kept the back of the camera straight, but I'm always worried about running out of image circle, and as most of my photographs are landscapes, it's generally not noticeable. In this, I think the keystoning helps to accentuate the 'exploding' nature of the structure - what do you think? I have very limited knowledge of Photoshop - I do some very minor brightness and contrast tweaks, some limited sharpening, and spotting, but that's about it - I don't know how to selectively dodge or burn, or mask, so most of what you see is from the original negative.

David, I, for one, actually like the uncorrected perspective; it works well with this building.
By correcting the perspective, you would have featured the protruding top of the building more prominently.
I hope this is ok with you, I took your image and corrected the perspective, just to see the difference; let me know if you'd like it removed.
A great building, and a very well-executed photograph.
