Before reviewing Jay Maisel's work, I never would have thought to shoot a shrouded building. But after seeing how some of his photos featured it, I thought I'd give it a try. I shot this a few blocks from his home/studio this evening.
@michellina@beachradish - Thanks very much! I would have liked the setting sun kicking back a goldn light, but its been raining all week here. At least there were high winds to billow the shrouding some.
You are doing a fabulous job with the artist challenge, Michael. The perspective in this is awesome and the shrouded building is a cool change up. Your weather blew my way today. Honestly, mid 50's and rainy in mid-June? What the heck?
It's all about the light isn't it. I tried a shrouded shot yesterday and it was tragic. This is clear and crisp, as Graham said, and lovely reflections.
This is fabulous! Call me a freak, but I love scaffolding and stuff. This building, with it's billowing fabric, reminds me of the accountants film short at the beginning of Monty Python's Meaning of Life
@janmaki - Thank you very much. I like straight lines and symmetry too. I want to go back and shoot with sun hitting the shroud and maybe catch workers' silhouettes or shadows within.
Thanks very much. I can see where shrouds can provide for many aspects to a shot like composition, shapes, shadows, catch lighing, and even color. I will definitely now have my eye out for them.
I hope you retire from the LAW soon so you can devote some time to photography. You are pretty good at it and there probably is not as much pressure. Maybe you could show us London, Paris, Sydney, Moscow, Hong Kong, etc., etc., like you take us through NYC. I will follow. Brilliant work, my friend.
Very inspirational your eye just captures it all I enjoy your art I love watching all of u nice artist I may submit some one day but u all are so good just to see every ones work is good enough thanks
@sexysedy13 - Thank you very much, you are so kind and appreciate your words. You should give it a go and will be amazed how fast you will develop and enjoy it.
Wonderful tones and reflections
