Week 7: Building Selections

Theme

I'm not sure how many themes we are meant to have (whether we need just one or different themes for different series of shots i.e. one theme for exteriors, one for interiors -I'll have to ask), but so far I am interested in documenting the newer and more modern establishments in Canberra. I love some of the modern architecture, the clean simple sort of look.

Building 1: Exterior at Night

I have found my first establishment:) Love the architecture of this building. I took these on Sunday, they are a little underexposed because I didn't have a tripod with me but I love the lighting so I will go back and shoot these for my folio at this time of day... with a tripod, and a tilt-shift lens. Think I like the first shot the best. The third one is possibly a little too zoomed out. Like the effect of the streetlights. I'm probably aiming for shot one with a slow shutter to get the white and red lights of the cars driving past - so I would need to shoot it possibly on a Friday or Saturday night when it is busier. If I can't achieve that look I'll still be happy with this first shot with no cars, shot properly.

Building 2: Exterior at Dusk

Because these were quick snaps, once again I wasn't using a tripod for these test shots so one is definately needed! But this first shot I will work on, possibly at a different time even though I love the sky in this light. I'll try it to see how it looks with the building and what effect I can achieve. Love the whole street in the second shot, although I don't think including that much in the frame is emphasising as much as the first one.

Building 3: Exterior in Daylight

[Forgot to turn monochrome off in my camera]. This is one building I will attempt to shoot in daylight, like the shape, need to work on composition and try different angles.

Building 4: Exterior in Daylight

Interesting architecture in the shape and form that make up the entrance. Will attempt this one during the day as well, experimenting with different angles.
