“Architecture is the learned game, correct and magnificent, of forms
assembled in the light ”
- Le Corbusier
Still busy recording video tutorials in fine art style. It's more than
just a tutorial: the styling and mood of the video will be a
reflection of my photographs, including use of time-lapse and LE
effects in the video. Stay tuned for this or check my Google+ account
for the latest info.
This is one of the highest buildings in Rotterdam: The Maastoren.
Also starting a new series of interviews/tutorials with renowned B&W photographers. It's not so much on their PP skills but more on the vision behind one of their signature photos in their portfolio. 'Why did you choose to process and compose it like that' will be the main question. Check my Google+ account and my website for the latest on this.
Technical info:
B+W ND110 & ND106 - 16 stops
f/5.0
ISO100
22 mm
421s (7m01sec) exposure
Software:

Ik bezocht onlangs twee huizen van Le Corbusier in Parijs en daar ondervind je echt fysisch hoe hij licht en vorm gebruikt, hoe dit een ervaring van schoonheid en evenwicht teweegbrengt... net als bij dit beeld !
