Ian Bramham's Photoblog
Another detail from the Imperial War Museum, Manchester by the great Architect, Daniel Libeskind.
This is just a small detail but the building is supposed to resemble the globe broken into fragments by war with the 3 elements of land, sea and air represented at angles to each other and with different tones of metal cladding.
The 3 elements are in this photo - from bottom to top they are land, then sea and finally air.
Like what you see here and are interested in photographic composition?.....the blog section of my website now has a complete set of 5 articles covering my personal approach to the subject: Ian Bramham Photography - Blog
For purchasing high quality archival prints of any of these photos you can send me an email by clicking here or by going to my website Ian Bramham - Fine Art Photography where prices are listed in the gallery sections under each individual photo.
@Kheoh Yee Wei: Thanks very much!
@Aaron Schmidt: Thanks Aaron - I did try increasing the contrast but not too much happened. I'm not sure if its because of the mono-tone metal cladding or just that the photo is too simple or something but both LCE USM and the contrast slider did'nt have much visual effect despite using fairly high settings.
@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine!
@Morris J. Chisholm: Thanks Morris - By the way, I loved the photos on your own portfolio page!
@yiannis krikis: Thank you Yiannis!
@Scott Marriott: I don't know what to say really Scott - everyone likes to hear that their photos are appreciated but your very kind words made my day. In fact I feared that I might not be able to leave the building last night as my head had swelled so much I could barely get through the door :-)
On a more serious note; if you are over from the fujiforum then you will know of Hugo Poon - he has been the main person from whom I draw inspiration - he's one of lifes naturaly talented photographers (even though he claims not to be a photographer!) unlike the rest of us who have to struggle with it. Just in case you are new to fujiforum heres a link to one of his sites :-

The other main blog that I use for inspiration is this one called Partial Sight by a genius of a guy called Peter Ferenczi - I love his unique take on life :-

Best wishes, Ian
@Brian: Thanks Brian - thats very kind of you!
@Johnny Soedomo: Thanks Johnny!
@Claus Petersen: Thanks Claus - you're not the first person to mention the contrast. I did try to boost it but the tones on all that metal are very flat and the image started to posterize before it gained any real contrast worth the name.
