PJ van Schalkwyk Archway Symmetry

“Out of clutter find simplicity. From discord find harmony. In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”

~ Albert Einstein

 

I headed out to the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque a coupe of days ago to photograph the structure as a whole. I knew this would be difficult, since the only lens at my disposal was a manual 85mm f.1.4 and I would have had to stitch a panorama. I had some great difficulty doing this due to the tight focal length and fading light conditions. I missed out on some great oppertunities, but I did not have a wider angle so there was no use in complaining.

 

My initial idea did not work, so I moved in closer and strolled around to find an interesting angle. I used the constraints I had to my advantage and managed to capture this image. All said, I am happy to have created something new! Post processing done in LR 4.4 ,silver efex pro 2.
