arquitecture picture post thread

[adrian tyler]

here's a recent picture of some impressive arquitecutre, i'm sure that there are a lot more out there, why not post a few... the original is by ortiz echagüe.

stitched shots welcome!

I thought it was spelled 'aquitecture'.

[Ash]

Greg, that house is SO definitely haunted :)

[naturephoto1]

A, Greg, can you spell Psycho? :eek:

Rich

[Greg Lockrey]

It's in Fremont, OH. A lot of people think it's the Psycho House, but it isn't. The Fremont Jaycees use it for Halloween. It looks like a huge house, but it's suprisingly small. I always wanted to buy it and fix up the inside to live in but leave the outside alone. :eek:

[Greg Lockrey]

Here is a poster of the B&W version I made to use in front of my house for Halloween. :eek: It's the hit with the neighborhood kids.

BTW it's 6x8' the original "scan" was done with a Olympus E-20 (when I was first getting into digital printing and such):) I printed it on my Epson 9600 at only 360 dpi believe it or not. ;) It's been a fun print.

[Marko]

Struan,

That's a great picture, I especially like the perspective. :)

Somehow, pictures of European streets (and of snowy scenes, but that's beside the point here) always keep reminding me why I like so much being here in LA.

[Jeffrey Sipress]

Great work, everyone. Very inspirational.

Here's an entry to one of the oldest structures in Santa Barbara, CA.

Ebony SV45U, 90mm, Delta 100

[naturephoto1]

I am not sure if this counts or not. If it is OK, this photo was taken in 1988 from Weehawken Park, Wehawken, NJ looking across the Hudson River toward Midtown Manhattan, NYC. Taken in November as evidenced by the colors on the Empire State Building. I am not sure which street we are looking down, but you can see the traffic streaming down one of the streets toward the Hudson River.

Photo taken in twilight about 15 min???? after sunset on Kodachrome 64, Linhof Super Technika IV 4" x 5", Rodenstock f5.6 150mm Sironar N, Horseman 6 x 12 Back.

[Jeffrey Sipress]

Thanks, Ben, I love that stove.

For the record, it's in the American Hotel, in Cerro Gordo, CA. (I've stayed there many, many times.)

[Ben Hopson]

Jeffrey, thank you. I couldn't remember if it was Hotel of America or the American Hotel. Cerro Gordo is one of those places you visit and hate to leave.

[alec4444]

One of my favorite Brooklyn buildings. Scanned 11x14 contact print.....on un-mounted fibre paper hence the "scalloped edges" at the top. The second thumbnail shows some of the detail you're missing up-close and in-person.

Heh, I think he meant it was a pun, as the photo posted showed an entrance with 'Aqui' above it. Actually the spelling is Architecture, and I'm not good at photographing it ;)

When did they put this building up? I don't remember seeing it in the mid 70's.

[Don Hutton]

When did they put this building up? I don't remember seeing it in the mid 70's.
Yes, well, it really doesn't look like anything that existed in the mid seventies does it? It was finished in 2005 I think...

[jnantz]

I keep staring at that picture!

glad you like it rory :)

it was a huge fire, 7 alarm i think ...
now that the site is cleared, it seems really empty,
and small, like that gigantic mill building couldn't possibly have been there

[Greg Lockrey]

I wonder if some of my old girlfriends are still there? They'd be pretty old now. :eek: Is "Texas Jack's" still in the "gut"? And do they still have the replica Nina, Pina and Santa Maria tied up to the pier? BTW, the ship I was on the first time I went to Barcelona was smaller than those three ships.

hey - how the HECK do you embed a full size image on the page... like the others. I tried doing that with <img src="etc etc..."> but it doesn't seem to work... nor did the last thing I just tried.

[Struan Gray]

Thanks for the compliment.

When we came to central Madrid we arrived in one corner of the Plaza Santa Ana and foolishly drove up the side leading to the front entrance of our hotel. Naturally, we should have realised that the correct thing to do is to crawl slowly round the other three sides of the square. By the time we did realise this we were committed to driving straight past the door of the lobby. It took us forty minutes to get back there :-)

Mind you, I still prefer towns where the car is not king. Madrid has a few small things that make the effort worthwile.


struan, that's taken from the hotel where the bullfighters stay...

Damn. That let the cat out of the bag....


Heh, I think he meant it was a pun, ...

Private joke Ash. I was guessing that Adrian, who lives in Madrid, would recognise one of its most famous squares.

Don't use the <img> tag. Click on the button that says "Insert Image" - the one that looks like a little mountain. That will present you with a box where you type in the address for the image.

When did they put this building up? I don't remember seeing it in the mid 70's.

just been completed this year. along that stretch of beach - just before the Barcelona 'twin towers' buildings and the 'whale' - there are a number of interesting buildings like that. Very close is the new science research building, not quite as futuristic . If you've not been here since the 70s you wouldn't recognise the place...

There were a lot of very interesting "flambouant style" buildings as I recall.

Oh - thanks... though that's kind of old...! (1989!!). I thought it would be trite to put any of my commercial (architectural) work on this thread. But I thought it would be fun to dig up some older stuff, from school, exploring ideas about 'environment' with crude foam-core models.

Thanks Rory and Robert. In fact that one is on my wall :)

[Ben Hopson]

Jim, your image nailed the feeling of the old bottles behind the bar at Cerro Gordo.
I used the Ebony 4X5 with, I think, a 210 Sironar S for mine.

[Rory_5244]

Oh yes, that's hot now, Ben!

That's an incredible shot DrP. It feels as though I'm standing in the church itself. What movements did you use? Was it just keep standards parallel and some rise?

[Rory_5244]

Just as an aside Dr Pablo (if I'm permitted): I was looking at your Monte Alban, Oaxaca album taken with a Canon Digital Rebel. I notice the pictures have a certain 'look' - sort of 'painterly' and, um, slightly lacking in depth. This is exactly why I was not happy with the Rebel, though I was told the problem could be fixed in Photoshop. I was just wondering if you noticed that?

[DrPablo]

Hi Rory,

Thanks for the nice comment. I used a LOT of front rise for this cathedral picture. I could probably calculate how much, but if you look at the vanishing point of the horizontal lines you can see that my eye level is more or less the altar, but the middle of the print is considerably above that. No other movements. I wouldn't use tilt in a setting like this, because I'd tilt the focal plane off the ceiling.

As for the Monte Alban gallery, I attribute the look there more to the lens I was using than the camera. I used the Canon TS-E 24 for the majority of those shots, and I find the image quality of that lens to be pretty lousy. It produces excellent colors and contrast, but it's an extremely soft lens that makes those colors and contrast look sort of fake. The lighting was also a bit harsh there -- we were there in mid-day with top-lit cloud cover, so that didn't help.

I actually don't have any problem with the way my 300D makes images look. If you check out my gallery from Senegal (http://www.pbase.com/drpablo74/senegal_2005), for example, you'll see more natural appearing photos (mainly because of better lenses and better lighting). I've moved to mostly film not so much because I had a problem with the 300D, but because I was getting very sick of the digital workflow.

Paul

[Rory_5244]

Thanks for the explanations. I'll check out Senegal now! :)

Ooh la la: night and day difference. Great images from Senegal!

My contribution to this thread.

[Miguel Curbelo]

I wonder whether it will work now... :o

[scrichton]

Well this was my first ever sheet of film I shot on my 5x4. Just a young pup and all.

Erm lets see technical stuff ... MPP Mk8 Wray 89mm ( for sale if anyone would wants it, much cheapness) Some amount of seconds on Ilford Ortho Pro developed in Tmax in a print tube that is 100% invalauble now. Actually my drum is better than the nighmarish Jobo 5x4 reel.

Hope you all like. I have about 7 months of stuff since then I am still slowly scanning spotting ... etc ..

Oh the building is a cancer patient centre in Dundee Scotland designed by Frank Gehry. I went in and looked around and was quite moved to see so many people waiting to die. In all my youth I felt quite like mortality was showing itself straight to my face.

Anyway. Will post again soon.

What a fabulous old building. Could you work on the roof of a vehicle perhaps and drop the front so the fence gets lost. I have the identical problem with the Goldfield School and the Rhyolite train depot here in Nevada.

[Sheldon N]

Thanks, I really like the building and plan to revisit it.

There's an embankment you can shoot from and get the fence below the bottom edge of the building. You do have your butt hanging out in traffic, though. I think when I reshoot I'm going to try that for a different angle.

I also want to see if I can talk to the management of the area and offer them a print in exchange for access inside the fence. You never know, I might get lucky! :)

[D. Bryant]

You're telling me! What a pity that place has a chain link fence around it.

[Struan Gray]

Here's one that got away. I've been watching the colour casts on the walls all summer, waiting for the day everything came together *and* there was time to set up the camera. Never happened, and now the sun is too low in the sky, so all I have is a digisnap with photoshop perspective corrections. Next year perhaps - at least I know when my time window starts and stops.

One of the things I like about photography is the way it forces me to pay attention to the seasons. Either because of sundial effects as here, or with things like finding an evening when sunset coincides with the high spring tides. Just planning makes me look harder.

[paulr]

Here's another one that got away (was supposed to be an arquitecutre picture, but I was a bit slow setting up ;) ):

http://paulraphaelson.com/portfolios/wilderness/16demolished_building.jpg

I'll assume you don't mean cricket....

As a minor contribution, herewith a couple of interiors from earlier this summer, a volunteer documentation job of a Presbyterian church that is soon to close. Wista M 4x5, Fujinon 90mm, Ilford Delta 100. Long view--rear rise, 1 minute @ f45. Pulpit detail--slight rear rise, 2.5 minutes @ f45. About as evenly lit an interior as I've ever had the pleasure of photographing, but no AC on a 90-degree day!

these are from an incredible modernist winary i was photographing for a book project.

struan, i loved the light.

[Struan Gray]

struan, i loved the light.

Thanks. It's my own hallway, which is a Swedish take on a Whitehall Farce stage set. All year we get a wonderful play of light filtering through our neighbours' big trees, bouncing of the copper window cupolas and reflecting off the floor and walls. The previous owner's oddball take on smoke alarm placement adds a little private punctum for the family. The only downside is that I had planned to fill one wall with a large panoramic print: The Decoratrix thinks not.

I love the decadent Kodachrome-y colours in your winery shots. And the hoses. Not sure about those second hand control panels from Chernobyl though....

thanks too, i always shoot chromes for editorial work (i didn't submit the first 3), till they make a 6x6 digiback that is...

yeah, i figured it was your place, that northen light is so clean looking though. the light here is not so aggressive now, still pretty challenging though, here's a hotel room i stayed so often i got to know the seasonal light:

Love the handle Jim.

Thanks Dave. Funny what you can dream up in such a boring space :) Killing time between end of meetings and dinner.

A friend of mine took a workshop with Ruth Bernhard. She challenged everyone to find a subject to photograph within a relatively confined space. My friend said it was amazing what people found.

Isn't it one of the great things about photography and other forms of art? Things just look different than they would if we just took everything we see for granted.

An easy way of doing that is firstly NOT to mess with your controls. just zero everything.. and try to aim the camera at the same height a distance a ways... and try to get it pointed perpendicular to whatever wall/bldg you're trying to align to. Only THEN - once you have it all orthogonal... THEN try doing a rise, etc... tilts, swings, etc will only confuse matters. It really helps if you're pointing at a reflective material. Then you can just aim the lens at itself - assuming an orthogonal (square flat and even) surface...

View inside the crumbling United Church in Dorothy, Alberta, once the focal point for scores of area weddings and christenings. The last service was performed here in 1961.

Jackson Square, New Orleans, early on a Sunday morning:


Ed, Without a doubt this image has some of the nicest tones I've seen in a while. Great contrast, rich tone. Obviously this is a digital copy we are looking at. Is this a digital post processed image or a really nice silver print?
