Love Abstracts In Architecture

In my travels, I enjoy walking around cities.  I do this for a few reasons.  First, I love to do street photography.  This is a chance to shoot people and the environment to show spontaneous and candid life.  The other is looking at the architecture and trying to find abstracts in unique and beautiful buildings.

In this series of buildings, I found so much it was crazy.  This is the opera house in Iceland.  Known as Harpa it is an amazing building both inside and outside.  If you ever get to Iceland make sure you spend some time photographing this building.  Iceland is one of the most photo-rich lands you can visit.  It’s pretty easy to get a good photo there.

Abstracts In Reykjavik

abstract

I love walking the streets of the cities I visit.  Who doesn’t?  On a recent trip to Reykjavik Iceland, I walked the streets with my friend Steve Gosling.  We both had the Sony a7r vii.  This small little and pocketable camera is very capable.  I love it because it can do great still as well as video.  It has an equivalent focal length zoom of 24 – 200mm.  That’s quite some reach and allows all sorts of possibilities.  I didn’t want to be encumbered while walking the streets so this was a perfect choice.  We strolled down to the Opera House in the harbor area and spent some time shooting there.  This post deals with shooting the building.  It’s basically a glass building with intricate glass panels reflecting light and some of them look out of place as they don’t reflect to reflect differently.

I spent a bit of time shooting there and I like what is called the picture in the picture.  I shoot at a long focal length and tilt and play with angles trying to get a different look.  The windows have a green tint to them and after I got them on my computer I decided to see what they would look like in BW. I varied the settings until I got the look I liked. Here are a few examples of what I came up with.  I hope you do too.
