Challenge: Urban Landscapes (Classic Editing)
Camera: Olympus E-20P
Location: Swindon
Date: Oct 7, 2003
Aperture: 11
ISO: 80
Shutter: 1/50
Galleries: Cityscape, Architecture
Date Uploaded: Oct 7, 2003

 Taken in Swindon atop a multistory carpark. I drove to the top expecting to take images over the edge, but all boarded up.

Found this window that had no glass in it - quite scary looking through it!

Used my new UV & Poloriser filters stacked.

This is well done. I especially like all the geometry (for lack of a better word) - the circle, the line and cut of the street, the horizon, the rooftops, etc.

Wonderful idea of shooting through the round window. Only improvment I can see would to have backed out a tad more and gotten the entire round frame. But won't count off for that. Still a great shot any day.

The window adds a lot of interest to an ordinary scene.

I love this shot. I originally scored it low because I found the circle very distracting but as I've come back to it several times I realize that it's a perfect lead in to the shot itself. Very nice colors, if the circle was perfect, not cut off on the top and bottom this would have been a 9 or 10

Awesome. I love the effect of looking out a 'port hole'. Nice perspective and colors.

I really like the unique view of the town in this photo. It really centers the eye on the subject.. that being the urban landscape. I also like the various colors represented with also help focus the eye on the inside away from the brown of whatever is being looked through. The only thing I found relatively distracting was the white border. I think it pulls away from the photo because it is already bordered.. by the circular construction. Nice job! 7

Like this shot ...although I think it would have been better if the top and bottom of the circle had not been cropped so tighltly...JMO 7

I'll be curious to learn more about this one... namely what the circular "frame" of this one is. I like it a lot -- very nice shot!

Very unique shot! Lovely colour. This could be a postcard. If you make this into a print, sharpen the centre image a bit.

beautiful... just a bit more sharpness would be nice, but I realize it may just be due to the window (I assume there was one

Interesting view, otherwise I would not have liked this shot so well.

Neat idea, really like the use of this window or whatever it is. The only thing is the colors seem a little flat, perhaps it is my monitor but maybe the levels or sharpness could be adjusted just to give it that extra impact.
