Amazing Architecture

This is a wonderful black and white image. Architecture suggests itself as the perfect genre for monochrome treatment and this shot demonstrates it well. The choice of wideangle lens and low perspective beautifully exaggerates the size of the structure and allows us to examine both the larger and smaller details. A fantastic composition, exposure, and edit. Well done.

Reflections are a popular subject in architectural photography and this image perfectly demonstrates why. The duplicated detail gives us cause to stop and think about the scene for a while, holding our attention. The pleasing arcs in this scene become almost complete circles with the reflection, creating a wonderful sense of depth.

The monochrome tones in this scene really demonstrate the power of monochrome to reveal texture and patterns more effectively when we are free from colour. The light and dark theme is a classic and timeless choice that encourages the viewer to explore all areas of the frame – a key skill for an image creator Nicely constructed.

This is a breath-taking shot! The super-wide field of view really exaggerates the scale of the space and to see such a building without any people is both unsettling and awe-inspiring in equal measure. The exposure is very well managed and the colours are not 'over-cooked' which gives us an intriguing commercial feel. A great study of modern, functional architecture.

This is a spectacular composition. The placement of the bird and the use of the structure as a seemingly fluid element is very special indeed. As with all great architectural photography, the goal is not to record the building as it is, rather it is to capture the building as a feature of the environment.

Buildings are created to be seen. They are often a statement of some sort, and this image captures that attribute very well. The bold colour and sinuous shapes are alluring and make us hunt for a place to rest our eye. The two-dimensionality is a strong feature and the image is a great example of how exploring a building for a moment to find the best aspects can pay dividends.

We love the abstract sense of scale in this shot. While we subconsciously know what we are looking at, the composition makes us examine the shot for a moment to get our bearings. The arrangement of patterns is very well constructed and the exposure is managed well so that we get an effective gradient moving toward the frame edges. A great abstract architectural study.

There is a strangely organic feel to this building. Whether by design or not, the yellow window lights resemble insect eyes or spots and make the structure seem alive. This is well-captured by the perpendicular angle of the camera – by keeping the lens exactly aligned with the lines of the windows we are not distracted by optical distortion. Well seen.

There is a playfulness to this image that we love! While it is a functional shot, which demonstrates the interaction of people and the urban environment, it also allows room for fun and the suggestion that the building is swallowing the train. The exposure and colours are also well-considered – the sky is beautiful and the natural tones compliment the artificial patterns in the glass and metal. Nicely done.

This is a very cinematic image! It makes us think of certain enduring science-fiction franchises and the colour palette is pleasing to the eye. The magenta adds weight to the bottom of the frame and the brighter area at the top of the steps draws us into the frame to settle on the figures in the distance. Thoughtfully done.

This is a mind-bending composition! The camera angle is a classic for architectural shots and it makes great use of the colours and lines of the building. The lighting is nicely controlled and gives the scene an otherwise missing sense of depth. Often it pays to look up! Well done.

The camera angle is a classic for architectural photos and this frame makes great use of the colours and lines of the building. The lighting is nicely controlled and gives the scene an otherwise missing sense of depth. Often it pays to look up! Well done for spotting the potential in this scene.

There were many shots that featured stairwells this round. The camera angle is a classic for architectural photos and this frame makes great use of the colours and lines of the building – in this case, an almost monochromatic palette. The lighting is nicely controlled and gives the scene an otherwise missing sense of depth.

Wow, we love the tones in this scene. It almost perfectly represents the zone system! This frame makes great use of the lines of the building, while the lighting is nicely controlled, giving the scene a wonderful sense of depth. The abstract nature is almost like a surrealist painting.

The camera angle is a classic for architectural photos and this frame makes great use of the lines of the building. The lighting is nicely controlled with the shadows and highlights appearing like stripes painted across the building's surface. Well done for spotting the potential in this scene and for the use of camera work and gentle black and white conversion.
