Heading into the light
Posted by JJ (Jersey City, United States) on 12 March 2009 in Architecture.
Another shot of under the terrace, from the other end as yesterdays
Thank you for taking the time to visit. I really appreciate all your comments, and welcome any critique as I am learning the art of photography, and having a blast with it
Getting ready for a work trip from the 29th so may not be able to check all your posts but will do as and when I can

Nicely done :) Though heading into the light sounds like I am about to enter the other world :P

I like this taking much more. The ceiling lets see a little, but it maintains the dramatic quality of the light resistances.

Superb JJ - these two shots would look great as a set on a large wall somewhere.

Nice composition, perspective and reflections give a lot of depth to the scene.

What an amazing artistic passion those people might have had. Even the terrace looks so elegant.

Love the amber light with the pale blue reflections on the ceiling. Great colours - and a very strong image.

The same place but so very different to yesterday's, I like them both but can't decide which one I like better (not that you asked, lol). I agree with the comment above that said they'd look good as a pair.

i prefer the shot of yesterday, I feel that on this one there is too much of light,
but it is just a think of a studiant over a master!!!
DO you have news about "Mike" "observing.animus3" ?
I will try to join him by mail
good week end to you and yours!!

Beautiful. Pitch perfect lighting and very aptly named.

Hm. I like this but I think the highlights may be a little too hot for me. Not a candidate for HDR, though...I think I would have processed one RAW exactly like you did and processed another to bring down the highlights some, blending the two images with a layer mask.

Love the reflections on the ceiling. Very cool.

That's fascinating, what a lovely structure.

Beautiful place. I like the lighting of yesterday's better, but the fountain in the distance in this one so I guess I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite. I'd agree with Rob that they'd make a great pair on a wall somewhere.

Probably the most fascinating ceiling I've ever seen. Absolutely a great shot, love the perspective. Stunning reflections and composition.

Very nice and honest without to much manipulation.

Wonderful rich colors. I like looking through those arches.

This becomes a very dramatic point of view . . I imagine the intensity of light is enhanced by the snow still out there.

I prefer this one to the former shot
