I like the harsh shadows on the simple shapes

This shot would of worked better if I had a polariser filter with this lens.

location - architectural interior

In this situation a tripod would have been ideal, but I didn't have one at the time. So i had to shoot on a really high ISO with a very low shutter speed and Low apature. 

 Here I liked the way the light fell on the bricks

I am pretty sure everyone else got these shots to.

Here I did a panorama of 5 images, the only problem with it I can see is the car movement along the foreground. The time of day we shot this was at peak hour traffic so it was hard to not get cars in the shot, but instead use them to your advantage.

as you can see I have used the car lights in such a way it has created some movement in the foreground. If you simply did not like this look you would easily b able to close tool them light out because there so small.

Here I like the composition of the cars in  row, and the soft light in the back ground.

I shot this 2 different ways, one image used the polarise filter to keep the reflections in the window and the other to remove the reflections. I thought without the reflections it worked a lot better.

I am very aware of the converging lines, but I am still yet unsure of how to fix these in photoshop. I would have been able to correct them if I had a tilt shift lens.

Here are some other images I managed to get when I was looking around the place

discuss the "elevation approach" and the "prospective approach" as it relates to the architectural photography in the early 20th century


when photographing buildings their are many challenges to face. majority of these problems are to either to capture the image with composition and prospective to create a pleasing photograph. Or to portray the building as it is for its true authenticity or realism.


Architectural photograph was introduced in 1839 by William Talbot and JLM Gagurro. As architectureul buildings where quite large and took a while to photograph, two different styles architectural photography emerged. The "elevation approach" and the "prospective approach",


The elevation approach
this approach viewed photography as a emphasis, for the builders craftsmanship. Looking to capture the fine details, like a drawing.
The images where often taken from a elevation position from a close by structure (giving it the name the elevation approach). Photographs where taken from a raised position so they where able capture the structure centered at mid-height of the building. As this was the style of architectual drawing of this time. So essentially they where capturing flat images, trying to get as much detail as possible.


The prospective approach
This style had the Availability to capture the third dimension, so they where trying to show what the building looked like from our prospective. Normally the photographers shot from a corner view point. 
This approach supported the idea of creativity from the photographer. Later on in the years this style flourished, and more experimental ideas developed. 


 -Fascinatingly enough street level photography was found upon, it was seen as inaccurate and unprofessional. It wasn't until a few years later when Americas parliament buildings, such as the White House. Had to be shot at street prospective.   


conclusion

ž The “prospective approach”  was definitely the main style of architectural  photography that stuck and has improved.

žTo think how their developments and achievements are still used in this era. Like the idea of photographing other buildings from high location. In a sense to create a equal prospective. How some architectural  images are shot angled to create a sense of depth, or just show the whole scene. If it was for this movement, architectural photography wouldn't be where it is today.

     "The two fields in which the spirit of our age has achieved its most definite manifestations are photography and architecture. Did modern photography beget modern architecture, or the converse?"

introduction to the hassleblads

Here we where made to photograph some of the other class mates in a mock up situation using the hassleblad cameras. The situation was we where photographing a client who is a CEO of a major company. The company was soon expected to become a massive player in their field. They where hoping to demonstrate and show how their company thinks outside the square. With attributes such as flair, creativity, uniqueness and trust
