Getty Center 5.0

An experiment in many ways, the main objective was to play with the

forms of the elements in this format; besides being a pushed film

with a polarizing and red filter to create an "infrared like" mood,

and very visible grain. I'm really interested in your comments, thus

in advance I thank you.

Well, I for one love this! First, as an architectural composition it is terrific; the lines, the textures, and the tones - it screams Getty Center. Second, the polarized sky is a fabulous counterpoint to the warmth of the limestone and stainless; and to me, the graininess speaks to modernity. Finally, the tight crop puts the viewer right into the architectural elements. Well executed, my friend! Cheers! Chris

Juan Carlos, Great artistic rendition of this complex. I like it best viewed 'Larger' where the textures really shine. It grabs one's attention for it's unusual presentation. A fine interpretation. Best, LM.

Chris, Len, thank you very much to both of you; that such comments come from two of the photographers I respect more in this site, certainly is a great thing. It even feels like two of the best compliments I've received on these site; the kind that one strives for, those that make you forget the ratings and their pretentious way of directing the amount of views an image gets....I think I can't care less about them now, with such comments like yours, let the 3's come.

You've made the structure "breathe." Wonderful technique. An exciting image. Regards...

There's also an interesting film negative appearance. The image makes me think. Great One.

The experiment was a success professor! I didnt like it at first sight to be honest, but in the large version the grain works very well and makes for a great atmosphere. Superb composition and very surreal image. Actually makes me want to shoot architecture again. Greetings from Germany, Lennart

whati saw is the left part of the rough building with interesting ladder. maybe let the left part an ordinary colors will give a strong contrast with the center building and bring another mood. regards.

Fascinating interpretation. The grainy feel adds an interest touch and the interplay of light and shadow feels dramatic.

La arquitectura por si sola desde esta perspectiva ya valia la pena,y si le a�adimos estas texturas,tonos y contraste,como consecuencia de un acertado grano y filtros, respectivamente,el resultado no puede ser mas interesante.

 

Un cordial saludo -Tolo.
