Peis Revolution glass Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a wokshop form (Jose Augusto Hauer (zeca)), who often give me very useful photo tricks.
Thanks Jose !

Note from Jose:
I opened lights using curves, add saturation overall, add some contrast, sharpness and finally a black frame. Isn´t nice this architecture? Thanks to Nicolas for this post!

Original note (from me):
This one is from the main entrance at the German Historical Museum in Berlin. The architect of building is I.M. Pei, an architect born in Kanton, China in 1917. Among its best known works are the modernization of the Louvre museum in Paris (including the glass pyramid), the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in Dallas (i've seen it in pictures and it's increddible, maybe someone could post a picture of it), the Los Angeles Convention Center, the Bank of China Tower in Hong Kong (seen it in pictures also), the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland (someone told me that it is an unveliable buiding), and a lot more around the world.

I like this one very much, because from this POV you can see the main entrance whith the glass ladder and the sky reflected on the glass walls. The view from the inside is also amazing.

Hello Nicolas

Really nice architecture. It's good that you reposted it because it is very beautiful. I like the reflections on glass walls and that you can see sky from inside of the building. It would be great if you had some photos from inside of it. If you do, please post them.

Take care, Wojtek

Hello Nicholas, this is a fascinating picture of the modern architecture. I love the curves and the details visible through the smoked glass. The people are a good inclusion to give scale.

Hello Nicolas,
It is really true that this version is much better than the original. Your composition is nice except that you cut the right side of the building. Otherwise, I would say I like the opposition of this round tower with the lines of the building behind.
Best regards. Christian
