stever 0 Posted February 17, 2004 My wife and I had an event to attend on Valentine's Day, so I thought it would be nice the next day for the two of us to take a hotel room in Baltimore, get a nice dinner, then go to Fells Point to browse and get lunch the next day. Turns out doing Valentine's Day the day after is a great idea - plenty of rooms available and smaller crowds. We even got an upgrade from a room to a suite!As we settled in to our 29th-floor suite late Sunday afternoon, I looked out one window and saw this nicely-textured building next door, glowing from the rays of the setting sun. I asked my sweetheart nicely if she would mind me taking a few photos, and here is the result. As always, I appreciate your comments, suggestions, and criticisms. Link to comment
bexta 0 Posted February 17, 2004 It be cool if that black part (bottom right) was excluded, thats just my opinion. Link to comment
johnorban 0 Posted February 17, 2004 I'm a sucker for pattern shots like this. Nice work! Great lighting. I agree about cropping out the lower right corner. Link to comment
travis_daub 0 Posted February 27, 2004 I love the fact that I can't immediately tell what this shot is. Is it some sort of industrial machinery? Is it a cheese grater? Very nice perspective. The black corner doesn't bother me too much because it's almost like a visual footnote, reminding you that your'e looking at a building. I don't notice that area until I've scanned the photo for a second, so it doesn't distract me from the pattern. (you also did a nice job of not allowing any reflections of your interior hotelroom to appear. Tough shooting through glass sometimes.) I guess my only comment would be that an even wider lens might make for an even more interesting photo. These are the kinds of shots where I think a bit of barrel distortion adds character. Nice work. Travis Link to comment
