I lost count of the years I last stepped into a library.
This library is pretty cool with the modern architectural design.

The ceiling of the library of the Technical University of Berlin. I guess I got little too carried away with the postprocessing since the atmosphere here is little dark and jail like

Wasn't my original idea, but it turned out much better than the way my original idea was shooting.
Shot in the last 5 minutes before we left work.

This Library is in the town of Ulysses, NY. and in the Village of Trumansburg and in Tompkins Country. I think I need to go to the Library and look that up! Philomathic refers to the love of study and learning.
Some weeks ago I had the chance to take some shots in the library of Stuttgart. It was the first time I visited the library and I had no big expectations. Of course the pictures you find online are really great but on the other hand side I doubted that I am able to get such shots because of several reasons:
a) I was not sure if my lense would be wide enough
b) I am aware what lightroom and photoshop can do
c) I never really used filters in such scenarios
d) and of course I know me as photographer (the most risky factor)
So no ideal conditions at all…I am not sure about the picture but I guess it’s not so bad ;-)...
But anyway I can just encourage everyone to visit the library because the architecture is just phenomenal. I was really amazed! So the trip to Stuttgart was more than worthwhile.
Here are some info about the library:

I have lived in Adelaide since 1991 and this was my first visit to this beautiful space.
The Mortlock Wing, formerly known as the Jervois Wing, was opened on 18 December 1884 as a Public Library, Museum and Art Gallery for the colony. It opened with 23,000 books and a staff of three. A grand plan was envisioned for the cultural precinct with this being the first of three buildings planned.
In honour of a substantial bequest from John Andrew Tennant Mortlock, the Libraries Board of South Australia (LBSA) resolved that a percentage of the South Australiana Collections would be housed in the wing and named the Mortlock Library of South Australiana. The Mortlock Library was opened in 1986.

I took this photo nearly 9 years ago in rural Maine. Posting it today because publicly funded libraries are important resources in a truly free society.
Libraries are a priceless resource worth our support.

A fun day spent in Birmingham shooting architecture with fellow Flickr buddy Dan Borg.
This was taken on the seventh floor of the Library of Birmingham. To be honest I was not really planning on shooting any long exposures as the weather had been awful. It was heavy rain and grey skies when we entered Nando's for a late lunch but upon leaving we were met with fluffy white clouds and a blue sky. I had to improvise a bit as I had left my tripod in the car which has led to this suffering from a little bit of camera shake. That said, I am pleased with the way it has come out and especially given its SOOC. I think the silver and black against the blue work really well.
Have a great week! :-)
