Diamond Concourse (center)
The Black Diamond is an extension to the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was drawn by the Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects in 1993 and stood completed in 1999. For more information, visit The Black Diamond.
Incredibly, although I have lived in Copenhagen all my life, I have never visited this architectural gem, which I think is a fitting term for its name. The shots were taken handheld from the bridge at the top level of the building's concourse. I wanted to freeze all motion as much as possible but also get as much as possible in focus so I went for a higher ISO. In hindsight I think I went overboard with the ISO setting and hence the shutter speed but still, the shots did come out ok I think. I have experimented with a few versions of the two different shots. I can't quite decide which ones i like the most, but I am leaning towards the B&W ones.
What do you think?
One more thing: I tried to use a polarizer to reduce the glare from the glass but when I did so I got a weird blue-ish effect on the windows to the outside. Could this be because they have some sort of coating to keep out heat / keep in heat?
