Beautiful architecture and landscape photography from around the world.

Bear with me on this: Singapore lies on a latitude that is 1 degree and 21 minutes away from the equator. Due to this the sun rises and sets at virtually the same time all year round. It is also the same temperature and humidity all year round. It has the same twilight period durations, […]

I visited the Gardens by the Bay on three separate occassions. It is a pleasant place to walkaround during the day and also has many attractions to keep you occupied. I also used the time to scout for photography locations where I could get some of the garden in the frame and add background interest […]

I went to Singapore for the photography opportunities in the Marina Bay area and ended up spending more time in the hawker centre’s than actually taking photos. Singapore is unique in that it is a modernised city state and island country which still has deep roots to the culture of the people that live and […]
The standard and popular view from the top of Park Güell. And of course, the salamander. Which is usually covered with tourists. So how do you get a clean shot? You take detail and close up shots with a part of your mind tracking the people around you. As soon as you see a transition […]
When I first looked up at the ceiling, I just stood there taking in all the detail trying to figure out what geometric or natural influence contributed to the design. The columns look like giant petrified trees leading up to jagged circular groups of geometric shapes. I don’t think there is a flat surface anywhere […]
Repeating Patterns and Leading Lines Even though the point of interest is to the left, which is opposite to the natural (western) reading direction, the pull to the left kind of lets your brain want to think about what is around to the right of the corridor. Just me then, okay Shadow and Light To […]
Details, details, details. Get the details. I don’t show that many detail compositions, that is not to say I don’t take any. I actually take a lot more of the detail images than I do of the epic, wide shots. My thoughts as I am looking around for my compositions are mainly based on food. […]
Getting a people free view of this window could be a waiting game, or you should kindly ask. Due to its popularity you are given an hour for your visit to Casa Batelo. It is more than enough to cover the interior and roof of the building. In the busy season, I could see you […]
I’m not sure if this is the “front door”. It’s at the side of the building and there is a bigger, less imaginative door, at what appears to be the front of the building. Anyway… Gaudi’s organic influences from nature can clearly be seen in this example of the door. Well, apart from, ahem, the […]
I thought La Sagrada Familia was Barcelona’s Cathedral when it fact it is not. Talking to some waiters over a seafood dinner the previous night, Barcelona’s Cathedral, The Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia, is situated in the Gothic Quarter at Plaza de la Seu. It is an old Gothic Cathedral, construction started […]
