Love how you've captured the light - not just on the building..but looking thru it to the other side. Well done!
14 Jul 2008 6:58am
Nice play with the light... I am not surprised, you are clever for this !

Looks like you've got some lens flare. I had a cheap UV filter on my lens that was wreaking havoc. I replaced it with a better filter and reduced the problem, but for night shots --with point light sources-- I have to take it off.

@Twelvebit: what do you mean by 'lens flare'? if you mean the red spots of light on the wall, i'm not positive (took this a long time ago), but i think they may have actually been there.
the lighting is really great - excellent colors

Beautiful light of late afternoon. I specially like the way our eyes may enter the building and try to imagine how it is inside.

You captured the light perfectly here! I like the composition.

What a terrific light you've capture streaming through this structure. It's beautiful.

Wonderful shot.
14 Jul 2008 10:54pm
wow!

That spot of red through the windows really makes this image special. Creative and well-crafted!

Great sky you've captured framing the building.

nice light!
the corner of the building in the upper left is a little distracting (cough, who am I to comment on things in the upper left...)
I really like the way the light is shining through... have been looking at everything lit up recently. Assuming that you're still using the same camera sans tripod the shot seems too sharp for that equipment - did you sharpen in pp? It gives it an edgy hyperreal comic book / video game feel. I like that and wonder what it would look like if you went the other way and made it more impressionistic?

@baobab: baobab! it's great to hear from you. i hope all is well. thanks for the comment. yup still same camera, no tripod, better skill at post processing. that edgy hyperreal look is mainly from the shadows/highlight adjustment tool in photoshop. you know, now that you mention it i'm not really sure how i'd make a photo more impressionistic, i have a couple ideas but i've never tried to do it before, always sort of trying to compensate for my lack of dslr i suppose. do you have any examples of photos that meet your meaning of impressionism?
Very nice - the photograph provides a sense of wonderment and desire to explore the illuminated building.

hmm... e had a lovely impressionistic shot a while ago. will see if I can find it again for you.
sorry I can't offer any PS advice: I have a shrink-wrapped copy of Creative Suite 3 that has been sitting unopened since April. although impressionism technically speaking is anything that veers away from strict reality, I was thinking this shot might also look good if you softened the building etc. with a Monet-like effect.
dslrs can be overrated - I went for a photowalk yesterday for the first time in ages and felt like a beginner when it came to the relative basics. fiddling with all the technical stuff can distract from the true art of photography which imo is seeing light and composition. the simple small cameras are good for that too.
I'm okay: have been swallowed up by life for a while, not always in the best of ways, but that's life :). nice to have friends on aminus3 who still visit my blog and are happy to see me despite my extended absence.
