Architecture

[mhusiak]

I've never really done any architecture/repetition work before. I don't really know what I wanted to capture with this, but it was on a cloudy day and the sky happened to clear for a bit and I was able to take this. I shot on film, but is there any way I can make it more exciting aesthetically in post?

Film: Fugifilm Superia 200
I should have take note of shutter speed and aperture, but from what I can remember:
Shutter Speed: 1/500
Aperture: f5.6

great image......i easpecially like the sky's gradient and the almost too contrasted look for the building....wonderful work out of the camera.....

i wanted to experiment with a new crop for myself......and i found that i liked a slight clockwise rotation....lining up the windows to the left side of the frame......as it is now, the perspective keeps my eyes looking at the tilt of the windows......

now, i didn't try it first.....but, i also think that a little cloning of those clouds off the bottom would focus my eye soley on the building......

thanks for sharing....

Photoshop in someone falling off the top? ;-)

Sorry, probably not the type of comment you're looking for...

I think that my suggestions all come from personal preferences, so take them for what they're worth. I often find that my favourite architecture shots are black & white, and often high contrast works well too. The reason I like B&W is because it really brings your eye to the detail of the buildings and in some cases, the repetition. I would also consider rotating the picture so that the edge of the building runs parallel to the right edge of the picture (almost the opposite of peeper's suggested rotation :p). If you rotate it that way, yes, the windows are much more angled, but you get almost a 50/50 split between the sky and the building which is kind of interesting too :)
