What I Want, a photo from British Columbia, Western

Photographer's Note

Its worth the time and effort to view the photo on the beta site, please click here. Vancouver Abstract .

There are times when I feel the urge to get back to my roots. Today is one of those days. I used to post mostly architecture photos, and while doing so I would present them in an abstract form. I've gotten away from that and I miss it.

So I've decided to post this photo and I'll post another new modern building in Vancouver for my next upload as well.

Architecture lines and forms are what I seek most often when I walk about the city streets. This new modern building is sleek, sexy, and it caught my attention right away. You may not enjoy it as much as me, but I still hope you appreciate the photography aspect of it.

There is a vertical composition in the WS, wasn't sure which photo to post as the main, I enjoy both.

Hello Craig,
Really cool photo of this building, which I remember from our visit to Vancouver. I very much like the curving lines of the façade. Great and well chosen viewpoint and the tilt works perfectly too.

Witaj Craig!
A very nice POV and composition.
Facade makes impression.
Good colors and light.
Curious abstraction.
Well done.
Warm regards.

Hello Craig,

I think we all return to previous locations and previous styles at one time or another and I think it reawakens out spirit and enriches our view of photography.

Though I like this shot very much I really love the w/s photograph.
For me, it has better composition, with the balcony-free section creating a useful, separation line.

Have a lovely day and happy snapping,
Bev :-)

Hello Craig,
It's not quite abstract. I can still see that it's a building, but the irregularly curving white balconies create a fine pattern. It's a good photo but you have shown us so many other photos that I've enjoyed more.
Best wishes,
Gert

snunney (118663) 2018-04-04 3:09

Hello Craig,
I think I like the landscape version best, but both do full justice to the unusual architecture with its repeating sinuous lines. I like the quirky point of view, which is very appropriate to the architecture. Excellent light management with good colours and clarity.

Hello Craig,

Sometimes are architects a little bit too exaggerated, but it's a wonderful frontage and great artwork.
An excellent depth and perspective image.
Nice if oblique picture too.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Bonjour Craig,

En voyant le titre de ta composition, je croyais que tu voulais un appartement dans cet édifice. Je sais qu'ils sont très chers mais ils doivent offrir une belle vue et l'architecture est magnifique.

Amicalement

Serge

Hi Craig
I will not soon forget this facade. It is a striking example of organic architecture. I also have a few photos of this building ready to publish with my impression of all these curved lines. Even without a pool there is much to enjoy here.
Have a nice day, groet Rob

Hello Craig,

I might load some shots from the Vasa shipwreck museum later in the week. Effective tight framing here with good sharpness and excellent graphism. It's great that architects are moving away from the more mundane square and rectangular blocks and are starting to incorporate many different fluid patterns and shapes. Tfs!

Modern building with balconies as a returning pattern on its façade, Craig, taken with artistic aspect, upwards skewed POV and well lit.
You call it as back to basic, I see an opportunity to present new and attractive designed architecture's style.
Best regards,
Ike

cornejo (53672) 2018-04-04 11:30

Hi Craig,
Cool, modern facade and details. I like the curvy lines and all the glass. The tilted presentation is nice, too. I prefer the main post over the WS photo, but they're both funky. :-)

Hi Craig,in effect the facades of this building of your city are very attractive,so it's right to take a stop thinking to take the best in a different and original way. And you do that,in a great way with 2 different diagonals and crops,i like it! Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

emka (120003) 2018-04-05 22:03

Hello Craig
Cool photo of this building with strange balconies.
Here in New Zealand I am delighted to see pure nature and no big cities.
Warm regards

Hi Craig
Like the shadows, pattern and the perspective, and for all the shades of contrast you have managed to avoid any burnout. Nice shot, Congrats.

Hi Craig
This really looks like unusual architecture and no wonder it made you want to photograph it! Great crop in both photos, best way to show these fantastic details.
Best wishes

Hi Craig,
Interesting architecture and original angle to take the view, perfect light contrast, ideal sharpness, tfs, well done.

carlo62 (65857) 2018-04-10 15:04

Ciao Craig
fino a qualche anno fa non prendevo in considerazione le opere moderne, ma col tempo e con un po' di impegno nel cercare di capirle, sto apprezzando molte opere fatte con gusto e con molta tecnica.
Questo palazzo mi piace e mi piace la tua inquadratura, tra le due foto, preferisco quella del ws.
Saluti
Carlo

BennyV (24517) 2018-04-13 14:42

Hi Craig

The tilt adds an alienating effect to the scene, making it more abstract & I guess more beautiful too.

Benny

RobertLx (532) 2018-04-16 2:26

Hi Craig

I love this abstract architecture photo. Great lines and curves. At this angle they look like white frothy ocean waves. The blueish facade of the building makes it easy to imagine it is a real ocean.

Regards
Robert
