Abstract Architecture shots

[alexniedra]

That first one is absolutely awesome.


One thing, though: I would suggest using f/11-f/16 for architectural shots, unless you really need depth. Apertures beyond f/16 are known to soften your images due to diffraction.



All in all, great shot.

Don, your 1st and 3rd shots are very nice.



Here's mine:

Thanks!


I understand the diffraction issue. I really needed the depth... those floor slabs are ~9 feet apart and there are about 50 floors shown in the image, and I wanted them all to be decently sharp. I rarely go beyond f/16 with that lens, but I was pleased with what I got at f/20.

Nice examples all ...


Alexniedra - Really like the Bridge as an overall composition. But, as an abstract, I think it would have more punch if you crop if off just below the line of the 3rd crossbeam from the top. That's just me though.


PaploJones, Really cool shot of the Acqua Tower, I'm going to have to find that.


BryanKing, Nice abstract, where and what are we looking at.

Thanks Don. This is a photo of the Olympic Stadium in Munich, Germany that was built for the 1972 Olympics. I am an architect myself, and had to visit last year when I was in Bavaria, as it is a true architectural icon.
