Photographer’s Note

Hi friends in TE,

I was in Seberang Prai City recently and impressed with the architecture of the City Hall. Once I had my car parked, I managed this shot of the city hall from the inside of Seberang Prai City.

Olympus OM-2sp
Zuiko 50mm 1.8
Expired Kodak Gold 100
Negative scanned for TE

Thanks for viewing!

Hi Jusni

I like the symmetry of the 2 yellow sunshades, & their colour contrast against the blue sky. Tfs!

hi Junsi

Of course your title tells me the entrance but my eyes cannot avoid to roll over to the domed shaped buildings, partly because of the way/direction the polycarbonate canopy points to.

My photographic sense also tells me it may be good to have landscape format because the tarmac is too much space to see black.

This place deserves at least 1 hour of exploration :) for photography.

Good work.

tfs, bill

Hi Jusni,
I was wondering why it looked so old and its date reads 2009-06. For a scan is very reasonable and I guess that the the "old loook" of the colours can come from the expired film. So, you have an Olympus 2SP, a cousin of my OM4. I took many photos with 2SP!
The FG doesn't look so photogenic, but you managed to use it to make a nice compo, namely by using those curbed structures to frame the building on the distance.
Regards,
José

Best wishes,

Hello Jusni,

A very nicely composed shot, with perfect lighting. The architecture is very impressive, and the shelters over the parking ticket machines are used effectively, virtually as a quotation marks (") preceding a memorable statement.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Hi Jusni,
You made good use of the striking orange coloured polycarbonate sheds. A pair of them create a stronger and bolder statement for your photograph, together they point to the massive building in the distant background. Well spotted subject and composed.

Regards
Alfred

Hello Jusni,

The politicians and bureaucrats have provided themselves great facilities hehehe!
And they are the same everywhere, I have never heard of cutting back on expenses for city halls and the likes...
You have captured well the fine architecture, and use an unusual way of framing our view!

Greetings,
