About the Image(s)
On a recent Club outing the focus was on taking architectural images with a difference. I found this at the rear of the Medical Research building. The building was opened 12 years ago and is still considered to be a modern building. The architect was inspired by a pine cone for his original plans.
I processed in LR to enhance the colours, drop the highlights and increase the contrast. I then went to PS to straighten the left side of the building.

Hey Julie. You know how much I love buildings. This is a cool one. Now, I looked at the original and, thank you for including it. I noticed the building was sort of tilted, but the trees appear be straight. I think the building has a natural tilt, that got straightened by you or by accident, but the trees not look tilted and sort of distorted. I think the sky looks cool, but it also looks sort of distorted (but probably not. I straightened the trees and the building sort of had a cool tilt, that may have been natural. I also added some texture and Clarity (I am sure everyone was surprised). I also tried to remove the shadows on the concrete because they looked grainy. Of course, I may be totally off base here. Just some things to think about. I think it is interesting that most group members wait until later in the month to start making comments. I am so excited to see everyone's images each month that I just can't wait to jump in. So, although I consider myself an architectural photographer, I have so much trouble with aspects. You are a very good photographer and I always look forward to seeing what you post each month.   Posted: 04/05/2025 23:59:39
A very striking picture but I agree with Don that the building, trees and fence appear to be tilted. I don't know if this is due to a very wideangle lens or something else. Otherwise a nice shot.   Posted: 04/20/2025 12:14:46
