Event Horizon
Usually, you don't go to a DIY superstore/warehouse to photograph the building's façade but buy DIY stuff (which we did, too, of course). Unless it's the "Bauhaus Halensee". This DIY warehouse in the busy and densely-populated Charlottenburg borough (Halensee district) is located between an urban railway line and the urban motorway, its entrance facing the busy Kurfürstendamm, one of Berlin's most famous and well-known boulevards. Its façade, consisting of textured, structured, 3D-shaped aluminium panels, is very photogenic.
This is the façade on one of the building's long sides in a wide-angle close-up view, as I stood right in front of it. Stupidly, I shot at F2,2 (I had photographed a flower growing on the adjacent green strip, wanted a blurry background, and had forgotten to adjust the aperture back to "architecture-suitable" when taking the first shots of the façade), so the roof area was a little blurry so I sharpened that part in post (Topaz).
Please note that this is not a mirrored image. It is the façade "as is", and the only manipulation here is that I removed a roof overhang on the lower left side because it was distracting.
HSS, Everyone!
