Over-sharpenned Photo

Photographer’s Note

A sharp facade of a new buuilding in Kurfuerstendamm.

Berlin Kurfuerstendamm, or in its shorter (and much convenient)name - Kudamm is the fanciest shopping and busiest avenue of West Berlin.

It would be rather interesting to have a corner office in this building. The multitude of reflections are really cool here, the repetition of clouds are quite attractive. I like that the whole photo is about the clouds yet the buidings bring an indsutrial interruption to the celestial blues.

Hi Itzik, this a rather complicated photo, with the different shapes and reflections. I like it how the sky is reflectied and how the needle almost blends with the background. I love the dark side on the left.
We have a building like that in Rotterdam, and it's such an elegant mirrolike building that it almost dissolevs, I call it a chameleon building

An impressive building and photograph. The cloud formation and reflections are art of the attraction here. Very nice catch.

Hello Ytzhak,

The combination of glass buildings and cloudy skies can give stunning effects, but they are quite difficult for many reasons. The clouds can appear too white, and the sunlight keeps playing with the clouds. So the exposure becomes tough to guess right. Although the composition is very pleasant to the eye, I am under the impression that in this caseit is a bit light ? Or perhaps this
is what I see on my monitor.

Best and friendly regards - Izzet

Hi Yitzhak
I guess you stepped around like a dancer to have the sharp edge of the building 'just in place'...
Well done compo, very effective use of this most special building. Lines and patterns in the best style..

Well captured looking up to this building almost vanishing in the sky by its reflection.

Hi Itzik - a very impressive angle you got this special architecture in - I like the clouds reflecting in the surface - giving us the best details as well - thanks for sharing this.
