SHANGHAI, China - Sheer modernity of the Shanghai skyline in the Pudon financial district, with several landmark buildings competing for height, including the Oriental Pearl Tower, the Shanghai Tower, and the Heroes Monument of the opposite shore integrated to the landscape, all washed in golden hour warm afternoon light.

The flowing curves of this building caught my attention immediately. I wanted to capture its dynamic energy and showcase how modern architecture can feel alive, with its play of lines and light.
Not easy to handle my new (second hand) T/S 24 mm 3.5, here one of the first attempts (to make things worst, I went out without tripod, damn!).

Dubai shows all its modernity in its architectural constructions that stand out for beauty and eccentricity. The Meydan Bridge is an example of this. A bridge with neon lights, which by far already can be perceived with a unique beauty.
I believe that this bridge is closed to traffic for most of the year, except on special occasions. Shooting it was a challenge. I was not sure if I could, but I decided to take a chance. It was my last night in Dubai, so I decided to try to photograph this bridge. I already had all the planning of how the photo would be made. So I got to the place later than I anticipated, but still, it was enough to get the job done. As there was no one, I placed the tripod with the already configured camera in the center of the lane. I measured the exposure and performed some exposures in bracketing. I used a suitable focal length to cover from the beginning of the plane and the track details to the end. As the neon lights are extremely intense, I had to be careful with the white balance to hit it correctly and try to dim the strong blue as well as the intensity of that light. This was achieved through a series of underexposed exposures, to try to capture divergent gradations of light intensities in the neon and use them later to try to recover that part that would be clipped in the base exposure. The camera was placed close to the ground, in a way I could use the texture of the lane as anchor, and the sides as guide lines, giving a sensation of immersion to the observer. It was to record the whole futuristic idea of the bridge.

"La Cruxi-Ficción de la Modernidad"
Once upon a far gone time, in a very near space...
... or was it the other way around?
Well... Whatever, Nevermind.
The Zollverein Coal Mine is the unique structural expression of the industrial modernity of the 20th century. It was constructed between 1928 and 1932 by the architects Fritz Schupp and Martin Kremmer on behalf of the United Steelworks Inc. according to the maxim of ‘form follows function’. The coal mine had a daily output of 12,000 tons of coal. For decades, it was the coal mine with the greatest output in the world. Since its closure in 1986, the Zollverein Coal Mine has been a listed building and was placed on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List in 2001 together with the Zollverein Coking Plant as a “representative example for the development of heavy industry in Europe”.

I've seen many photos of Hong Kong skyline. I was actively thinking of showing a relatively new face of this wonderful skyline but creating a relatively different photograph of iconic places can be challenging! After doing 2 days of post processing, here we go, the final result! Hope you like it!

Standard Gauge velocity 1197 leads a Albury service over the green surronds Moonee Ponds Creek. Quite the contrast of fresh Velocity locomotives on the 1927-29 built Gowanbrae Viaduct. Interesting to also note that it was tight to the timetable which was not-so-typical from their N class counterparts on such a service.
Modernity in the Medieval.
Hay veces que solo saco imágenes pensando solo en un futuro procesado, es decir pelearme con algo complicado. Esta es una de ellas. Si ya se que son unas alcantarillas, un suelo, el reflejo del sol, luz, sombras, diferentes tonalidades del agua según le daba el reflejo del cielo o no, texturas de agua-piedra-metal, ........na mas (bueno eso es todo lo que vi antes de sacar la foto); pero hay momentos que....
En fin una mas de mis enajenaciones mentales (que os voy a contar si el motivo principal es una alcantarilla). Pensé en solo dejarla en un ejercicio para mi en esos gigas perdidos.....pero bueno se me escapó.
LOs tomates a la salida.

I didn't post this yesterday because of the protest. Since I had been under the weather for the last 3 months I didn't know what "flickr black day" was all about. After putting in the time on Sunday I got up to speed on the reasons behind the protest. There are some threads in the Help Forum giving the protesters side and my good friend Thomas Hawks has a good post on why he was opposed to the "flickr black day" protest.
After reading both sides I find myself siding with the people running against the wind ( the protesters) - deja vu all over again for me:)
So I'll have remember to post this image next Sunday to the HSS group.
Yours

The Blue Pullmans were an unusual mix of modernity and tradition. As a product of the Modernisation Plan, they needed to project a modern image whilst, at the same time, appealing to those willing to pay premium fares for traditional Pullman values. It was a subtle balance that the fictional umber and cream livery depicted here would not have satisfied, as was probably the case with the final grey and blue scheme that did not stand out as anything special. Notwithstanding their rough-riding characteristics, once displaced by new air-conditioned MkII stock, there may have been scope for charter work that did not involve high-speed running although that was perhaps a market that had yet to emerge. This fictional version carries traditional Pullman umber and cream livery without yellow warning panels, which suggests heritage line operation - perhaps in the early days of preservation when the contract of sale required repainting out of BR liveries (15-Mar-25).

"Beatifik Island", the Port of Refuge for the Survivors of Modernity...
"We are like Dwarfs standing on the Shoulders of Giants, so that we can see more than they, and Things at a greater Distance, not by Virtue of any Sharpness of Sight on our Part, or any physical Distinction, but because we are carried high and raised up by their giant Size." (Bernard of Chartres)
Despite its modernity, Kirchberg - the business district in Luxembourg - remains encompassed within the city's historic walls. After all, this fortress has always defended the most precious assets of the city...
