I posted an image of this building last year when they were still working on it showing parts of the building that had not been clad yet. Well, I returned a few weeks back to find it still wasn't finished, although by now its clear they are in the very final stages of construction. The striking thing about the building, actually buildingS as there are three of them - hence triptych, are those wavy balconies. Anytime one is photographing architecture and the building has this kind of flowing detail then its usually a good subject for a shot.
The tiered building furthest away from the camera is a newish building in the Nine Elms area of London, an area that has been completely redeveloped in the last 15 years. I've been trying to get some decent shots of it for a while now. The problem is that it is fairly well enclosed by other buildings, so difficult to get a clear shot of, and also it needs lots of light to get the best out of it, something that has been sadly lacking on my recent visits to the area. So I finally managed it a couple of weeks ago on a photo walk with some fellow photographers from my Camera Club. This was shot with an old vintage Leica zoom lens which in itself needs a lot of light because it's not the fastest but it is really quite sharp and a surprisingly nice lens for shooting architecture.

Back in the summer I said I would keep you updated on the progress of the house my daughter is building. This is the lot next to us on the river. This picture was taken last week. As of today all of the front has Tyvek and the windows are all in on this front side. We are hoping it will be done around Christmas, but it is slow going. The builder (who built our house as well) is a perfectionist, so every measurement is within 1/8th of an inch. The ceiling heights are 10 foot, so climbing to the top a few times is quite a workout.
The picture of the progress that I posted last fall is in the first comment. HWW

Some windows without glass but with black plastic around them on a construction site in Amsterdam.
This is a picture of the high building of the 'University of Amsterdam' on Roeterseiland reflecting another part of the same building with an angle of 90 degrees in the late afternoon sun. The rhythm of alternating areas with more or less distortions ànd the soft focus make this a multidimensional layered picture with an organic feel.
At least it works for me that way.
