Reflections in a passageway of the magnificent Fourways Mall in Greater Johannesburg, taken shortly before the first COVID-19 lock-down. Sadly, it was the last architectural shoot that I was able to go on with the late Harry Schmitz before COVID-19 took his life. Alas, vaccines were not yet available at the time of his contracting this killer disease.
I'm assisting a pro on an architectural shoot today -- should be fun! I'll be back later to flickr...
The British Library of Political and Economic Science, otherwise known as the LSE Library, is steeped in history despite the architecture looking far ahead of its time. The century-old building was converted into a library by LSE in 1973 and redeveloped in 2000 by Foster and Partners. It is the world's largest social sciences library, with 50km of shelving and more than 4 million items housed around a light-filled atrium and a helical ramp. I was recently fortunate enough to be able to visit and shoot the location with fellow London photographer Peter Li, and my first shot was this look-up from the bottom of the atrium.
My main aim with this image was a high-key finish that would convey the minimal and futuristic aspects of the architecture. Shooting outside the university term and early in the morning meant the location was almost empty, and renovation work in the lower ground floor meant the glass lifts at the centre of the atrium remained unused long enough for me to capture both of them at ground level. While this would usually be an ideal opportunity to let the shutter speed run for longer, I opted for a higher ISO to control the glare of the bright lights surrounding the atrium, as I felt these had the potential to become garish if they were too large. I bracketed nine exposures, and these were later blended in Photoshop using luminosity masks. This made it possible to gradually raise the exposure of the midtones and shadows and create a clean high-key finish without overexposing the skylight or the dome, which both contain portions of my darker exposures.
With the exposures blended, I gently desaturated traces of yellow and orange and used Colour Balance, Colour Lookup and Gradient Map adjustments to shift towards a colder tone, which helped to emphasise the surfaces' pristine finish. There was a small amount of glare from the interior lights along the metal on the right lift, and as I felt the lifts in the foreground would be one of the first places that viewers' eyes would be drawn to, I wanted it to be clear of distractions, so the glare was removed along with the fire sprinklers dotted around the building.
Inside Nik's Silver Efex Pro, I increased the highlight structure to give the edges of the walkways more definition, as well as gently increasing the Dynamic Contrast, before setting the layer with these adjustments to the Luminosity blend mode to retain the original blue tones from my workflow. Using Colour Efex Pro, I then used small amounts of the Pro Contast, High Key and Glamour Glow filters to adjust the tonality across the image and to add a final bit of emphasis to the soft and airy atmosphere of the building.
The postprocessing phase for this image was straightforward, which I hoped would complement the location's streamlined design and the grace of its architecture. Watching students go back and forth through the building, I couldn't help feeling a little envious of anyone able to visit this awe-inspiring location as part of their research and learning.

Normally people who do architecture photography will use very expensive tilt and shift lens (to avoid any distortion), to be very careful about lighting (scout the location different times of a day), and finally take great care in composition.
I do none of these and show you a very bad example of architecture shot. I hope you will learn from my bad experience.
I saw this new building on No. 3 Road and took a bull's eye shot on a overcast day with dull lighting.
Happy Sunday!

On my way home from an architectural shoot, I saw that sky firing up and spontaneously stopped there. It was right on time: I managed to pull of a time-blend of an early blue hour shot with the sunset in the background. It was perfect! I guess this has potential to make a difference from all the other shots out there of this landmark.

The "right" use of a Tilt Shift lens.
The nice thing of photography is break the rules. I think there is not right and wrong things in photography. But I just need to explain the uses of a Tilt Shift lens.
Lot of people think that the propose of a tilt shift lens is to create those crazy bokeh that the things looks like a miniature at the most. One of the "right" use of a T.S. lens is like this photo. When you need to focus things that are placed at different distance of the focal plane but you want to use a short deph of field. The second thing is the oposite. When you really want to focus all the planes of the picture, like a landscape or architecture. Shoot a landscape at F/22 and see it at 100% zoom and you will understand it. And also there is more one thing, when you need to correct the perspective of the photo.
OK. I just needed to explain this, but I still think that the nice things is to break the rules of photography.
O legal da fotografia é quebrar as regras. Acredito que não haja certo e errado na fotografia, mas eu preciso explicar para que serve uma lente Tilt Shift.
Muitas pessoas pensam que uma lente TS serve para criar aquele bokeh diferente onde a maioria das coisas parecem como uma miniatura. Um dos usos "corretos" de uma TS é como esta foto. Quando você precisa focar coisas que estão em distâncias diferente em relação ao plano focal mas você quer usar uma baixa profundidade de campo. Outro uso é o inverso, quando você quer focar todos os planos da imagem como numa paisagem ou arquitetura. Fotografe uma paisagem em F/22 e abra em 100% que você vai entender. Ainda há mais uma função, que é de corrigir distorções de perspectiva da foto.
Eu só queria explicar isso para quem não sabe a "real utilidade" da tilt shift, mas gostaria de deixar claro que o bacana da fotografia é quebrar as regras.
A young lady I used to work with back in 2013 had asked if I could help her with her fashion project by shooting photos for her. I was happy to help out and she invited her friend Cherie to model for the shots. This was probably my first time shooting fashion with anyone, and it was so much fun. We wandered around Outram Park, going in and out of alleys and around the old architecture shooting. I should have shared more of these shots back then.
I took these on the way to work over the last couple of weeks a little insight into other peoples' lives.
I have been thinking recently about doing a project based on Cambridge but not the boring and over photographed 'Kings College by night/day/dusk/dawn" (you get the idea!) More inspired by photos like this, shop windows, and normal Cambridge life. Because, believe it or not; people live in Cambridge who have nothing to do with the University! I have already photographed Fitzbillies and the robe shop.
This also stems from the black and white architectural shoot I did which was specifically commissioned not to include cheesy 'Cambridge' shots:

and also this project:
which I am going to be representing Cambridgeshire.
I'll post more as this project develops
Had a decent sunset last night at the Salk Institute, refining my understanding of light painting. It's nice to shift gears to do a little architectural shooting.

I had 30 minutes yesterday evening and so took my camera out for a little shoot. It's been a few weeks since I did this kind of thing and I really enjoyed myself.
I thought I do a little architecture shooting around Southampton Uni.

Thanks for checking my Photo stream :)
"la cité radieuse" de Marseille,bâtiment hors norme de l’architecte "le corbusier" véritable spot pour le shooting architectural,totalement irréel comme un paquebot échoué dans la cité phocéenne,la mouette apprécie le point de vue...
"the radiant city" of marseille, building out of norm of the architect "the corbusier" true spot for the architectural shooting, totally unreal like a liner failed in the Phocean city, the seagull appreciates the point of view ...
This weekend I did some architecture shootings. At KPMG munich you can find this endless stairs. To get this capture I had to stitch it from 4 single exposures.

I'll write a review when all is said and done but so far, so good. It held up in the wind and snow with my 70-200mm/f2.8 lens, got through security like a champ and no one bothered me at O'Hare during some long exposures.
My last few times at O'Hare I've shot brackets. Been there done that. I'm obsessed with long exposures and really like treating people as a subject matter similar to water or clouds in spots like this. I don't know this incredible photographer's name but I was inspired by their processing for this one. You'll know the artist as Vulture Labs: www.flickr.com/photos/38181284@N06/
A few more to come from O'Hare...then some random architecture shooting around Springfield, IL will start up tomorrow.

I captured this frame at the end of a wonderful desert shoot with Colby Brown who was visiting Dubai for a week.
We were both knackered, but after a dinner, we were ready to shoot some urban night sights of Dubai...and there's no better place for architectural shoots than Dubai Marina!
Tech talk:
I used Canon TS-E 17mm lens, my absolutely MOST favourite lens to shoot architecture. I leveled the camera and raised the horizon with TS-E's Shift button. This gave me the tops of the towers on the left and right side of the frame without the need to tilt the camera upwards. All verticals in the shot remained perfectly perpendicular to the ground.
Nothing beats the versatility or sharpness of this lens. The crispness and colour rendition on the Canon TS-E 17mm are simply outstanding!
I snapped 5 bracketed exposures and created an HDR base shot with Oloneo PhotoEngine Pro.
I was happy with the way the buildings looked but the light trails cast by the boats looked awful. HDR processing doesn't work with moving subjects. To recover the trails, I used a single 3 minutes long exposure of the moving boats and layered it on top of the HDR base shot to get a clean result.
I took another short exposure shot of a boat in the foreground which was layered between the light trails. It took quite a while to blend it in the way I wanted to. Quite happy with the way it turned out.

It's fun doing large-format like architectural shoot with this camera. It's so portable and keeps such a low profile.
The impressive upper reach of the lens is due to its large image circle, certainly better than proper Hasselblad lenses! Light falloff is minimal--no need for a center filter.
Whilst browsing through my shoots from last year, I came across this shot which I'd completely forgotten taking.
Having decided it's time to get back to some architectural shoots, I thought I'd kick off with this. I'll always love nature and wildlife photography but the compulsion I have for architectural framing still proves too much to resist.

Whilst studying for my HND we were give an assignment for Architectural Shooting. I just added the lens flare in photoshop later, as the sun was actually behind us.
