Someone on Facebook asked me how I could love the architectures designed Frank Gehry as well as Norman Foster. He sees them in different genres because they follow very different methods of construction, but I see them as the same—as pure expression of forms. While Gehry’s architecture is sculpturally organic and Foster’s designs feature very geometric compositions, they are ultimately about the beauty of forms. My art education from Yale is based in Bauhaus, so perhaps my appreciation of forms differs from his Harvard GSD background.

 

This is a handheld panorama of Terminal 1 at the Hong Kong International Airport (HKG). It was stitched together using nine 6D full-res RAW captures with the 17-40. I still haven’t bought a pano head yet so parallax is a bit of an issue, but I am planning on getting one any day now.

 

My mom saw some panorama shots I took recently and asked me if it was a single shot because I have been raving about the super wide angle I was able to achieve with the 17-40 + full frame 6D body. No—a full frame body cannot really achieve wider than 180-degree shots—perhaps a fish eye lens can but I do not yet have one. 8-15 f/4L looks good, will do some research perhaps.
