The Töölö Library building, situated next to the Topelius Park, typifies modernism and is a fine example of library architecture of the 1960s. Curved shapes, light colors, bright spaces divided by glass walls and large windows opening onto the park are typical architectural features. A wide selection of books, magazines and news papers, music and movies available.

This one was shot freehand, because tripods were not allowed. I shot (in raw) a couple of photos at ISO200 in burst mode and selected the sharpest one. Processing: I did three exposures in Adobe Camera Raw, -2,0,+1.5, and merged them manually using layers and masks. The rest is standard: levels, curves, white balance, the slightest blue photofilter, a bit of sharpening, frame, 8-bit conversion.
I also tried another way of processing using only one exposure, lightening up the shadows, dimming the highlights ..., the results are quite similar, but the first one has a little more details.

John Rylands Library, Deansgate, Manchester
The John Rylands Library, by Basil Champneys, 1890-99, a private commission by Rylands' widow Enriqueta. It cost £230,000, roughly £24,000,000 in today's money.
John Rylands was a wealthy entrepreneur employing 15,000 people in Manchester manufacturing textile goods. In the early days, much of the cotton was picked by enslaved people on plantations in the southern United States, although the Rylands family themselves owned no slaves or plantations, and the company also offered 'freely picked' alternatives to some of its products, which was considered unusual and enlightened at the time.
Nevertheless, Rylands was Manchester's first multi-millionaire, and one of the richest men in Europe. His activities as a philanthropist included paying for schools, orphanages, retirement homes and non-conformist chapels, as well as a number of public buildings in Stretford, including the Town Hall, although he never held any public office himself. He bankrolled the Manchester Ship Canal when it looked like the project might fail. When he died in 1888 his estate was valued at £2,574,922, roughly £270,000,000 in today's money.

66 photos of the submarine U.S.S. Cod are viewable in my www.flickr.com/photos/mathersteve/albums/72157689282303805 album.
September 2017 unguided tour of the 1943 Fleet Submarine U.S.S. Cod. Floating at a harbor wharf, next to Burke Lakefront Airport in downtown Cleveland, Ohio. Of all the submarines on display in the USA, the Cod is the only one “...boarded through the forward escape trunk, an airlock that allows crewmen to enter and leave the sub while she remains submerged.” A Because of this rather difficult entry, plus widely spaced wooden deck planks that trap canes, crutches and wheelchair wheels, the tour is not ADA Approved. www.usscod.org/

The most photogenic part of the BL. I brought Issey to the library to look at the Lindisfarne Gospels, after seeing Secret of Kells.
This is the Hesburgh Library at Notre Dame. The Word of Life mural is undergoing maintenance this year. This was my first use of the Super Topcon 65mm lens on 4/5. I built an adapter lens board to hold the Horseman VH lens boards on the Speed Graphic. This lens was intended for the Horseman VH series cameras, however, its image circle will almost fill 4x5 (vignietting not shown here may have been from my yellow filter.) This is a late in the day photo. The lighting was not great, however, I wanted to test the new adapter.
Photographed on Kodak Tri-X 320 4x5 using a Graflex Speed Graphic. This was a test for a lens board adapter to adapt my Horseman VH-R lenses to the Speed Graphic Board. Here I used a Horseman Topcor 65mm lens at f/32.
