Iron Trees

The huge tree-like iron column that will sustain an eclectic building going to be built in my town.

I'm taking pictures since the beginning of work and proposed to the enterprise a photographic book on the building, from the beginning to the end, to be given to those buying the apartments. They seem to like very much the Idea.

 

M8 + Summilux 35/1.4 Asph.

Thanks for looking

Enrico,

 

Interesting. What does it look like in color?

Nice B&W image, preferred for artistic reasons by many.

I feel that sometimes, lack of color is also lack of some info.

It sure depends what the image is intended to accomplish.

 

Best, K-H,

Hi Enrico,

 

Many thanks. For me, the two images create completely different emotions.

 

The B&W shows an uninviting sad almost foreboding place. Dark patches on the house walls contributing.:eek:

 

In the color version the lighter colors, grey, pink, brown yellow, and even the blueish tone exude an almost cheerful mood by comparison.

Also, the reddish colors on the Iron Trees make 'em appear more like trees. The faint blue in the sky also helps to improve the mood. :)

 

I think both versions are strong impressive images. They are just very different.

 

It will be interesting to see what the finished building will look like.

I'll bet the color version will attract more buyers.:D

 

With best regards, K-H.

Enrico,

 

If your original version was in color, I probably would have commented to do it in b&w, but for this picture, I seem to gravitate toward the color one. This is not to say the color is better than the b&w but that they are two different pictures with different moods.

Great tone and contrast Enrico! I absolutely prefer no. 1, in the coloured version my eyes are not as focussed as in the b/w version. Great idea with the book!!

Best regards

K-H, this is an old rendering of how the building should look like when finished.

Enrico,

 

WOW! Certainly one of a kind building.

I am glad you document its creation.

May be your book will show up in blurb?

Fascinating exercise.

 

Thanks, K-H.
