The clean lines and geometric curves of the Da Lat opera house create an abstract composition. I focused on the play of light and shadow across the structure, simplifying the scene into a study of form and symmetry.
Sunlight flooding into a stairwell in Haggerston School, Hackney.
This stairwell is within one of the original parts of the building, designed by Ernő Goldfinger and opened in 1966.
The circular details in the surface of the concrete wall and the louvred openings in the window are no doubt both design elements from Goldfinger's original plan.
A striking black and white architectural study showcasing dramatic geometric lines and shadows. The composition creates a bold abstract pattern through intersecting angles and stark contrasts.
Golden Mile Complex, April 2023
This landmark 1973 Singapore development is about to be closed for a major redevelopment. The brutalist icon was designed by architects Gan Eng Oon, William Lim and Tay Kheng Soon and engineered by Arup.
Cuando uno hace una foto de paisaje es difícil reflejar en la cámara lo que el ojo observa en ese momento, muchas veces la exposición es posible conseguirla, sin embargo el color es muy arbitrario. Por ello cuando dejamos el balance de blancos en modo AUTO la cámara hace un balance de los tonos fríos y cálidos de la foto intentando dejar los tonos medios de grises lo más neutros posible. Por tanto podemos disfrutar con nuestros ojos de escenas que son calidad y frías a la vez, que gozan de azules intensos y de naranjas encendidos pero nuestra cámara no lo soporta. En esta ocasión he hecho una pequeña trampa que no me avergüenza reconocer. Dos fotos idénticas, con exposiciones y posiciones idénticas pero variando el balance de blancos y luego montada en Photoshop para poder tener esos dos ambientes en una misma toma. Los que me seguís y conocéis sabéis que no soy amante de estos montajes pero quería representar lo que he escrito más arriba, esa variedad de tonos que difícilmente podemos captar en una sola exposición.
Ubicación: Albufera (Valencia)
Equipo utilizado: D7000, Sigma 10-20, filtro degradado inverso, trípode y cable disparador
Técnica utilizada: Prioridad a la velocidad para conseguir la exposición correcta con tan poca luz natural y el efecto seda en el agua. Diafragma abierto para aumentar la luz en el sensor sin necesidad de subir el ISO, esto para ambas fotografías igual. La diferencia ha radicado en el cambio de balance de blancos de una toma a otra.
Postprocesado: Fusión de dos imágenes, aumento del contraste, corrección de horizonte, corrección del balance de blancos, subida de contraste y redimensionar para web.
A reflection shot of the side of Bath college, taken during a lovely sunny day a few weeks ago. So many angles going on in this shot.
another shot of the metallic sculpture at the Hepworth Gallery in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, UK in front of the red painted panel.
I think the two pieces complimented one another quite well to give this image. Summer 2016.
Unas sedas tomadas en Cabo de Gata, más concretamente cerca de la playa de los Escullos. Un amanecer muy “fresco” después de una noche movidita por toda la costa del parque protegido. Estuve tentado de quedarme en el coche calentito pero finalmente vencí la perrería y decidido tomé la cámara y me acerqué a la playa a disparar unas fotos.
Equipo utilizado: D7000, Sigma 10-20+filtro degrado inverso de 3 pasos, trípode y cable disparador
Técnica utilizada: Prioridad a la apertura para conseguir máximo detalle en toda la foto y la exposición a 1 segundo para captar las sedas de la ola.
Postprocesado: Aumento del contraste, corrección del balance de blancos, subida de negros y redimensionar para web.
Brilliant Scuderia spotted on a lovely day. A very annoying car to photograph, this one. Reflections/tones were all over the place.
Tried to reduce the angle as much as possible, lol. Was a mistake I made during the shooting :P Nevertheless, tell me what you think.
One more interpretation of cool installation in front of downtown art gallery (nighttime), Fort Myers, Florida
Animal, vegetable or undiscovered alien critter? It's at least part anemone or antimony. Who the heck let those blue streaks in? Trump blasted me again on the Twittzler and decreed predominantly orange fireworks. Yassuh boss man! Right afterward, I got a heads up from Goosifrier 9.11. They must be cohorts of Putin? The meeting MUST go on. Trump HAS to report per contractual agreements. Disclaimer: no 1 percenters were injured by having to pay for this display!
This followed up my quick start and chat on my nice park bench over at Roger's Grove Park after I heard the previous double blast that pierced my reverie. OMG, it's more orange again! Boy, is Trump ever giving my evening shots a terrible name! This looks like some amount of zoom on the telephoto and of course, the usual jiggles.
According to the city's web site: "Roger's Grove Nature Area consists of 54.9 acres adjacent to the St. Vrain Greenway and includes Fairgrounds Lake, trails, a shelter, outdoor amphitheater, restrooms, native landscaping, demonstration gardens and an apple grove with fruit free for your harvest! Design and construction of the nature area was primarily funded by the Roger and Roberta Jones Foundation. Roger Jones (1915-1995), enjoyed walking along the river with his wife Roberta (1913-1992). Both educators in the St. Vrain Valley School system, the Jones' wanted to contribute an environment for children and adults to visit, learn and enjoy. Roger's Grove was developed as a nature area, arboretum and outdoor learning center. Additional funding came from the Colorado Lottery and Great Outdoors Colorado."
I am rolling out this year's Fourth of July celebration using action on the medium telephoto-zoom. This looks like nebulae many light years away and many millennia ago. It seems a star field exploded in the background. I particularly like the veils slung by bony fingers that happened over the hand-held three second exposure. I got hand-held veils that trailed during hand holding. I do like those hand-held telephoto traces. This EXIF reports 200mm but I used a long zoom range over the reddish explosions happened as I triggered the zoom.
El Parque Isabel la Católica, ubicado en Gijón junto a la Playa de San Lorenzo, es un hermoso espacio natural ideal para disfrutar al aire libre. Con amplios senderos, zonas infantiles y un pintoresco lago habitado por patos y cisnes, es perfecto para pasear o relajarse. Además, alberga esculturas y actividades culturales, convirtiéndolo en un lugar imprescindible de la ciudad.

UGC 4277 Distant Galaxy Group, Lynx
UGC4277 is a giant edge-on spiral galaxy, morphological type SC, which is gravitationally bound to, but not tidally interacting with, two smaller galaxies, MCG+09-14-017 and MCG+09-14-012. Since they have similar redshifts and distances, their relative sizes and separation on the image are essentially to scale. From the measurable properties (redshift, apparent magnitude, and angular size), we can derive UGC4277 light travel distance (lookback time) of 250 Mly, redshift recession velocity of 5,407 km/s, and actual diameter of 284,000 ly. This is about 30% larger than the Andromeda Galaxy, and nearly twice the size of the Milky Way. Due to its edge-on orientation, its integrated apparent magnitude and the calculated absolute magnitude are significantly underestimated for two reasons. First, it presents to the observer a much smaller surface area than a face-on galaxy. And second, much of its starlight is absorbed and scattered by thick layers of gas and dust in its galactic plane. Prominent dark dust lanes are easily visible even at the low resolution and small scale of the attached image. UGC4277 has an active galactic nucleus (AGN), which indicates the presence of an accreting central supermassive black hole (SMBH.
Edge-on galaxies are of great interest in the study of galactic evolution because the dynamic distribution of stars, dust, and atomic gas can be analyzed both along the galactic plane and perpendicularly to it. Radio frequency studies of UGC4277 by Allaert et al. (2015) revealed the presence of a primordial atomic hydrogen envelope, three times thicker than the visible disk. As this gas gravitates toward the galactic plane, it condenses into clouds of molecular gas, which eventually collapse to form a "rain" of low metallicity stars. Metals (in astronomy all elements heavier that helium) are produced by stellar nucleosynthesis, and are dispersed into the interstellar medium (ISM) by stellar winds, supernova explosions, and neutron star collisions. Through various processes, a fraction of metals condenses into small dust grains which on average constitute about 0.1% of the galactic baryonic mass. While most of the dust resides in the galactic plane, a part of it can be detected in the form of a "dust-scattered ultraviolet halo" around the galaxy. This "extraplanar" dust appears to be defying gravity, probably suspended by radiation pressure and the plumes of hot gases arising from the galactic disk and bulge. Assuming similar total dust mass fraction, it is expected that starburst galaxies with numerous hot, blue stars and more intense ultraviolet radiation would manifest more prominent extraplanar dust halos. Jong-Ho Shinn (2018), who compared visible band to GALEX ultraviolet images of 23 edge-on galaxies reported, among other findings, a moderate to low extraplanar dust halo around UGC4277, implying a similarly moderate to low star formation rate.
The other two galaxies in the group are MCG+09-14-017 and MCG+09-14-012. The former is oriented face-on, and has a LINER type active galactic nucleus. It is approximately half the diameter and half the brightness of the Milky Way. Both appear to be barred spirals with slightly deformed spiral arms probably due to mild tidal interaction in the remote past. A number of small, background galaxies, listed in the chart on the annotated image, lie at distances between 540 and 1,610 million light years. Four bright quasars are also identified. The most remote of these is SDSS J081428.78+524045.2, located at a light travel distance (lookback time) of 10.4 billion light years. In the present cosmological epoch, its proper (comoving) distance is 17 Bly, and proper recesion velocity 367,941 km/s. Since its recession velocity is presently superluminal, the quasar lies beyond the cosmic event horizon, and the light it is presently emitting can never reach us.
