Challenge: Architecture IV (Basic Editing)
Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye
Location: Hampstead, London
Date: Jan 29, 2008
Aperture: f10
ISO: 100
Shutter: 15s
Date Uploaded: Jan 29, 2008

 Just as I left home this evening to go shoot it started to rain, so I managed to get off about 10 shots before it was too much. This shot had to be cropped at the top because the plastic bag I was holding it was in shot (darn 180 fisheye) but it's the best I could salvage. Definitely echoes of my Abandoned Buildings challenge.

In the end I really like this shot. There's a rain drop at the top of the stack that isn't good, and the whole thing feels a bit more claustrophobic than intended with the crop. I also wish I'd separated the chimney in the background a bit more by moving left a foot, but hey, I was panicking as the rain was starting to fall.

Not sure if the DNMC posse will hate this as not explicitly representing a particular building or architecture, but there are multiple architectures here and I really liked the shapes. The fisheye rocks for this kind of a shot imho.

I'd like to think this will do averagely and not badly - 5.5-5.8 would work for me.

Post Challenge: Another prediction just about spot on and am happy with that. Nice to be able to turn out 5.8s on demand but I need to start pushing it up to regular 6s on demand.

v nice image - but needs one (appropriately dressed or motion blurred) person for me.

Nice mood set in this photo. I'll be interested to see what lens it was shot with, since it has very little distortion at the bottom side but a lot up top.

This is more of a street scene, not necessarily an "architectural" photograph, but nicely done.
