Advertisement Posted February 2, 2007 Posted February 2, 2007 Hi Hans Roggen, Take a look here New York Blues. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Peter41951 Posted February 2, 2007 Share #2 Posted February 2, 2007 A very imaginative series! I particularly enjoyed #2, Chrysler Building and companion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted February 2, 2007 Share #3 Posted February 2, 2007 Hans - A beautiful series. #1 (Brooklyn Bridge, often for sale) is a lovely angle that makes me think of the 20th century painter Joseph Stella who achieved fame painting interpretations of this landmark. In #2, to the left of the Chrysler building is Mercury, atop the entrance to Grand Central Terminal, and your angle and framing is one I've never seen before and like a great deal. The angle and framing on #3 (Empire State Building) again is unusual and very effective. #4 is the flatiron building (so named because of its shape) in the late day sun, giving it a most appealing glow. The black building (in shadow, actually) framing to its right enhances the image nicely, and again this is an unusual angle. Most painters and photographers move considerably to the left, capturing the narrow leading edge of the building towards the center of the frame, with the building widening to the left and right. #5, the Empire State Building again, is the least successful of the lot, but only in comparison to the others. As a photo standing alone, with its broad, bright colors, details and symmetry, it is a very good photo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samwells Posted February 2, 2007 Share #4 Posted February 2, 2007 Hans - very nice series and very nice angles...I particularly like the 'pairings' in 2, 3, and 4...No 2 I find particularly witty, with Mercury apparently waving at the gargoyles on the Chrysler Building. Great...thanx for showing. cheers: Sam Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lambroving Posted February 3, 2007 Share #8 Posted February 3, 2007 Very good perspective in your Brooklyn Bridge shot. Even unique. Nice job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglouis Posted February 3, 2007 Share #9 Posted February 3, 2007 Great captures. Each one has an interesting perspective and I like the contrast between the flatiron building being sidelit and the building on the right being backlit. A great way to get around the problem that with such immense architecture you can't always frame it unless you are a long way from the buildings.

Sergio44 Posted February 4, 2007 Share #12 Posted February 4, 2007 Hi Hans! Very creative and poetic job, I like them all with a personal preference for the bridge: usually everybody plays with a high level of distortion... you did the opposite in trying to mantain the perspective of the the cables as distortion free as possible... by that, enhancing a sort of pre baroque drawboard study on perspective. kind regards Sergio Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ECliffordSmith Posted February 4, 2007 Share #14 Posted February 4, 2007 Hans, A very nice series. The Empire State and flag shot is my favourite. Great composition! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zorki6 Posted February 5, 2007 Share #15 Posted February 5, 2007 My fave is the Flatiron Building. The lingering air plane fumes pull it together very nicely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
