Gare do Oriente, Lisbon.

Posted by Ian Bramham (Manchester, United Kingdom) on 2 October 2017 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

Architect Santiago Calatrava's wonderful railway station in Lisbon.

The station has 4 levels and I took this photo in the hour before dusk with the low evening sun casting some dramatic light and shadows along the axis of one of the 1st floor walkways.

I used my wide angle zoom lens set to 16mm for this photo to accentuate the shadow lines. The downside of that perspective distortion is the effect on the building in the top right of the frame but the centre line of the image has the least distortion so that's where I've placed the person when composing the image.

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
