jeremytf50d Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Chicago architecture Hi all, I work for a construction company in Chicago and occasionally document our projects. This building (athletic fieldhouse for Roosevelt University) was a bit challenging to shoot because of the L tracks. For all of these I am trying not to get hit by a car, standing with my back against a steel column to support the L. Any suggestions - on anything, not just the logistics? I go back and forth between preferring the 2nd or 3rd - horizontal vs vertical orientation.   Canon EOS 6D    17 mm    f/11.0    1/6 sec    400 ISO    +0.7 EV     Canon EOS 6D    17 mm    f/13.0    1/3 sec    100 ISO    +0.7 EV     Canon EOS 6D    17 mm    f/13.0    2 sec    100 ISO    -0.7 EV   Feb 04, 2013 at 09:17 PM

Alice OBrien Offline • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · Chicago architecture I prefer the 2nd as well. I like the context of the street and the El'. It adds to my appreciation of the building. Feb 07, 2013 at 12:33 AM

jeremytf50d Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #9 · Chicago architecture Yes, I am aware. Many people call it EL, and many people call it L. Feb 08, 2013 at 02:13 AM

kevin court Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #10 · Chicago architecture I like the 3rd. I don't care if it's El or L, and don't understand why it's so important in this conversation. :-) Feb 08, 2013 at 12:43 PM

Kirby Krieger Offline • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #11 · Chicago architecture To my eye: #1 is about the building #2 is about the environment #3 is about the strange interplay of blues and shapes between the two skyscrapers Each is appropriate in different contexts. For your needs -- documentation of completed work in an urban context -- I would be tempted to retake #1, moving about two strides forward (to show more of the building, and to relocate the black lamppost to the middle of the stone wall) and perhaps six feet higher (again, to emphasize the building more), with maybe a few millimeters more focal length. Then I'd try to gently lighten (or otherwise bring attention to) the building in PP. Feb 08, 2013 at 12:49 PM

Kirby Krieger, thank you - that is exactly the kind of feedback I needed. Sometimes it's hard to see all that objectively when you've been staring at the same shots for too long.
