Photo Assignment for the Week: 4/30 - 5/7

Here's your photo assignment for this week: Architecture.




  • As always, photos must be fresh - taken this week, not stuff you've got hanging around on your computer.
  • Any form of architecture is fair game. Architecture should be the main focal point of the image.
You are encouraged to use your submissions for Cletus' weekly Digital Darkroom Challenge.




Note: please title each submission, as we're going to attempt to start a poll at the end of the assignment period and ask people to vote for the best image.


Extra credit: buildings over 50 years old.

    Very good topic though, fish! I'll get right on it - should be easy on one of New England's oldest college campuses!

    The Twelve Apostles
    This picture doesn't count, but it is my favorite architectural picture. My Priest said to me who was standing there with a small, tiny Canon Elph, he pointed at the high ceiling and said he wanted a picture of that. I told him he wanted a different photographer who had better equipment. No, I was to do it. And this is what I got. I think it has to do with the twelve Apostles. All of it is symbolic. I think it is beautiful ginger
    After all is said and done, it is the sweet tea.

    Great idea for a shot. That's where the wide angle comes in handy. You could get really close to the old house, let it occupy the foreground, with the modern building filling up the screen as a backdrop. Find a 3/4 angle to the house, get low and point up. Something like that, anyway. Could be a cool shot.

    Archetecture Submission
    Temple Beth Shalom in Elkins Park, PA

    I hope you don't consider this file hanging around on my hard drive if I actually took this picture this past Monday. I have been meaning to get a good picture of this Synagogue for a while now, and it just turned out to be fortuitous that a friend of mine needed to get an MRI right across the street and needed me to give him a ride there.

    I have been in this synagogue twice. I am not that religious, but on a sunny day, it definately feels as if it is filled with the glory of G-d.

    Shalom Y'all!

    I am going to suggest that the moderator remove shots that do not fit the rules. Folks seem to be completely unable to control themselves and the number of old pics is to high. It screws up the mental process of evaluating the submissions that do follow the rules.

    I'm really trying, going to old photos anon. and counseling. They say I will be over the hump and on the road to recovery soon and will be only able to post the freshest of photos. It's been a long painful process.

    Dugmar, this would be a good one for the photochop challenge. The lighting that day wasn't quite right to make your point, but I betcha could transform it in PS.

    An important part of many architectural projects is public art.

    Here's a whimsical clock. At the top of the hour, balls roll down the raceway
    striking the bells. Reflected in the glass (at the upper right) is the one of the
    buildings in the project. This qualifies as a self portrait too.
