The cube-houses in Rotterdam were built almost 40 years ago. If you look at them, you wonder whether they are livable.

Dieses Gebäude ist wirklich schwierig zu fotografieren. Von allen Seiten, frontal und Ausschnitte ... nichts wurde dieser aussergewöhnlichen Architektur wirklich gerecht. So fand ich es dann noch am spannendsten.
I was on a photo trip in Rotterdam from October 11th to October 14th.
Rotterdam is a modern city with impressive architecture and great opportunities for street photography.
The best pictures in my opinion will be posted up here in the next days and weeks
Nach vielen Detailfotos hier einmal das komplette Bürogebäude auf dem Washingtonplatz, Berlin

After many detailed photos, here is the complete office building on Washingtonplatz, Berlin
Museum Square, Amsterdam
"Between the Stedelijk Museum and the Van Gogh Museum stands a cube-shaped object. As part of the Qpark underground parking facility, the structure houses air treatment systems and other technical installations. Both museums considered the building, which had been shrouded in brown tarpaulin for years, as an eyesore. So the two institutions teamed up with Qpark and Stadsdeel Zuid to invite designers to come up with a solution. Bureau Concern won the pitch to transform the object into a feature in greater harmony with the cultural and social significance of Museum Square.
The winning idea for the cube, a concept and design by artist Aziz Bekkaoui entitled ‘Calvin’s Mecca’, dates back to 2009."
... or Honeycombs

Get well soon, Hans, we are looking forward to when you will be back as group admin and also with new photo contributions to the MM group :)
Something I've always wanted to photograph with the extension tubes in order to get really close, but never got it quite right. Well, it's still far from perfect, but at least I managed to get a fairly sharp image of these tiny honeycomb cubes (size of each cube: 2x2 mm / 0,07x0,07 inches) this time. They are inside of a small orange spoke (or rear) reflector, a scratched, battered thing that must have fallen off a bicycle. I picked it up in the street one day, because I thought it might be useful for Macro Mondays one day. I've already used this once before for a theme, the "Lit by Candlelight" theme from December 2017 (you can find the photo in the third comment, I was too slow ;) ). And since Hans is Dutch, and the Netherlands are a bycicle country, I thought the reflector might be an appropriate subject for the Oranje / Orange theme :)
I've used both extension tubes (which gave me 26 mm on top of the 60 mm from my macro lens), the Raynox DCR-250 close-up lens and a +4 close-up filter. The result reminds me of an optical illusion, because I can see both the cubes and the honeycombs, but not at the same time. I hope it's not too confusing to look at. I had to do some extensive dust and "scratch bokeh" removal (some of the many scratches on the plastic surface appeared as bokeh spots, but not nice ones, when I focused on the inside of the reflector) with the healing brush to make it pleasant to look at, and only when I applied a slightly matte look in Analog Efex it looked right to me.
I have a very busy day today, so I hope I can catch up with you tonight. HMM, Everyone, stay safe!

A classic view on the cube houses in Rotterdam. I was going for a shot of the harbour on the same location, but with the light that morning it didn’t work out. So this is one of those typical plan B shots, which isn’t always a bad thing however! It was a real challenge to position the camera on the stairs, lens straight up, and find the exact spot for the best symmetry. Shooting with 15mm, literally every inch to the right or left made a distortion. It was a cloudy morning, with just a bit of light coming through and I really like how it slightly brighten the tips of the houses. Although the image worked with the cloudy, and almost flat sky, I decided to create a long exposure effect in PS, which for me just provides that extra interest to the image. A pleasant surprise this morning and the harbour has been put on the list for next year.
Thanks for having a look! All faves and comments are highly appreciated!

On a gloomy Melbourne day, this shard of aqua glass glows in the glare of the filtered sunlight.
When I showed this photo to my nephew, he said I should call it "cube-aquatic". So I did. There are cubes of glass which make up the whole tower, and it looks like water. Logical.
It may not be immediately obvious, but the large building to the left is also almost entirely glass, and reflects the building across the road as well as the sky.
This is an in-camera multiple-exposure, something I enjoy immensely but often forget in my rush of enthusiasm to shake and bake an ICM.
