Photography F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2024 Nov 13 3:04 pm)
The instant I saw the first one, I thought that it was a detail from the "Guggenheim Museum, Bilbao" by Frank O. Gehry... I liked all the pics a lot: they're very fine abstracts with lots of reflected deformations..! All I would ask is to be able to see a general view of the building for I really am curious about it... ...And also, it would have been fine to see more of the pinkish-orange reflections (embedded in the dark reflections) in the 3rd one. :-)
Funny you should mention Frank Gehry. I didn't know it 'till I looked it up, but he's the architect for the EMP as well. As for general views of the building, I don't have any, but http://www.greatbuildings.com/buildings/Experience_Music_Project.html has a number of photos and other data on the building. For photo number 3, that sounds like a crop I didn't try. Thanks Thank you for your comments. -daveh

What an amazing building! I think Jeff is right about #3, you could get some great crops from that. #1 has such an abstract beauty I think any additions would really detract from the image.

Hey everybody, thanks for your comments. WRT the first image, it was a somewhat unconcious choice to not provide any indication of scale. I didn't really think of it at the time, but both the original shot and the crop were set up to eliminate anything except for the side of the building. mysnapz: thanks for the suggestion and example on #3. This is exactly what I needed. I'd gotten stuck in trying to use most of the image, instead of breaking it down into pieces that work. And for some reason, it never occurred to me to change the orientation. -daveh

On this first one, I desaturated, and increased the contrast a lot.
