About the Image(s)
This is a photo of a portion of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain taken from a bridge that literally goes over the lower portion of the museum. It was shot with a Canon EOS 90D, with a 24-105 mm lens, at 1/8 seconds, f4.0, and ISO 6400. I did some moderate processing in Lightroom.
Thanks.

I'm so glad you got to the museum in Bilbao.I always wanted to see what Gehry had done there. It was one of his earlier buildings, I think. I like the way the light plays off the various shapes he created. I hope you took lots of photos. The image seems a bit soft to me, which could be a combination of the slow shutter speed and high ISO that you used. Was this taken at night? What do they have inside the museum? So many questions., Good job. Posted: 11/06/2024 21:42:06
Thanks Joan. I did take a lot of photos. The inside is an amazing as the outside. The permanent collections include a huge room with curving steel plates by Serra. Mostly modern art. Posted: 11/30/2024 17:05:11
Andres, I LOVE this architectural shot. Taking it at night allows the eye to appreciate the beauty of Frank Gehry's design. Nice composition and very well processed. No suggestions. (As an aside, I found the building to be so much more "artful" than the art within - with which I was not impressed!). WELL DONE Posted: 11/06/2024 22:36:14
Thanks Michael. Very much appreciated. I do like modern art, so I liked the inside as much. But I will admit that I probably spent more time looking at the building from different angles and at different times than the art! Posted: 11/30/2024 17:06:55
Andres, I like the luminous sheen that the museum walls have in your evening shot. You've emphasized the shapes of the architectural design that look abstract in your evening lighting. I appreciate the deep blue sky with the hint of clouds for the background. Nicely done. Posted: 11/07/2024 18:21:38
Thanks Ruth. Glad you liked the sky. I pulled it out more in Lightroom. Posted: 11/30/2024 17:08:24
Andres, I really like this shot of the Bilbao Guggenheim. You captured the unique design at night juxtaposed against the dark sky. Very nice! I was there a few years ago but did not see it at night...wish I had! Posted: 11/12/2024 22:03:18

Hi Andres,
The shapes and the highlights/shadows of the building captured at low light created an interesting shot.
I'd prefer to crop tighter to eliminate the bright window on the left and make the building stand out more. Nice shot! Posted: 11/29/2024 11:33:20
