Sculptural Architecture

Post by Mike »

There are plenty of record shots of Architecture and famous buildings that can become more than a bit repeated, the example that springs to mind is Big Ben or the Eiffel Tower. When I was in New York (clue here) I was looking for sculptural elements of buildings and how I could record this in a different way. It would be good to know what people think of my attempt! Unfortunately I am not as happy with the result in terms of technical quality as I am in terms of composition, tone and light but I was still pleased with the idea.

Extra super bonus Kudos for anyone who knows the building! :-d

Oohh I really like this Mike. Great idea. Like the abstraction and seeing something perhaps more of a personal interpretation than a straight record shot.

Is it perhaps the American HQ of the Toblerone Appreciation Society? Thought not !!

No; but maybe I should get in touch with them and offer this as an idea for their new building! :lol:

Mike, like the receding triangles on the right and how the white one on the left offers a balance. Initially had thought it might benefit without the diagonal on the bottom, but that works for me the more I look at it ...
