THE Â RUSTY Â TOWER
(Above) This is a really nice angle to photograph Broadcasting Place from. Once again the colours contrast to make the building stand out more but also the way the sky is reflected off the windows, even showing details such as the trees reflected gives this image another layer and therefore another point of interest. I like the abstract shape that this cropping gives the building and the used of positive and negative space works really well to frame the outline of the building, giving it a very crisp finish.

This was taken using a wide angle lens on my Nikon D5000, I like the way the lens meant that I could get the whole of the building in the shot along with the surrounding areas to give it some context. I have cropped this is a way that I think really enhances the interesting shape of the building, almost framing it and giving the eye a line to lead it upwards by leaving the railings at the bottom in shot. Also the blue sky against the tower really brings out the orangey red colour of the rust and the sun on it shows the detail of the panels as well as adding depth through the shadows under each section of the building. The building itself is obviously a very interesting subject to photograph but I think I have added interest with the composition I chose and that really makes this photograph one that I am very proud of. (Below) My favourite photograph in this set by far! I used a wide angle lens and took it from right down low which meant I got all of the building from a low perspective, giving it a slightly distorted look as if it is almost bending towards you and lso meant that I could get more of the sky in. If I could have had my way I would move the streetlight and the signpost out of the way but I don't think they affect the picture too much because your eye immediately focuses on the shimmer of the sun reflected in the lower windows and slowly moves up to the strange alignment of the other windows before finally resting on the outline of the building, which seems to almost be framed by the clouds.
