Oslo City Hall : Lines and Light

[dje]

This shot was taken inside the Oslo City Hall and is all about the diagonal lines and the filtered light. I'd appreciate your thoughts on how it works.

Something this vast needs multiple shots to really present it all. The exposure is spot on. Did you get any shots from the lower floor?

John I got this shot from the lower floor (in the opposite direction).

Dave...I like the exposure on both. #1 is perfect and it shows the environment very well especially if seen expanded in lytebox. I would have thought those filtered lights from the top was overexposed but it is negligible to me. I would play a bit more on image #2. My eyes must be tricking me but it is leaning to the right just a tad. (Is it the lines on the floor doing that effect? I don't know...My brain is Aussie time so nearly 3 am here is not the best time to look at this closely...BTW, very pretty place...

Very nice, I think they work good as a set rather than one shot only. I also like that I can see your vantage point when capturing both shots.

Thanks John and Izzie.

I haven't really spent much time on the second image but I'll get back to it in due course. I've got a lot of photos to process from our trip!

I think the diagonals are more visible in the second picture. They contrast more with the vertical and horizontal lines. That's less in the first picture.

I wonder, have you been to the Vigeland Park too?

Thanks for your thoughts George. Yes we did go to the Vigeland Park, it's very impressive.

Amazing place and spot on exposure.

Dave,

I haven't been in the city hall. I didn't know that one. It looks great.
When I was in the Vigeland Park I listened to a guide next to me. He or she mentioned that Vigeland expressed all phases in human life with his statues, except the pregnant woman.

Dave...would you mind starting to number your images? My old brain kept scrolling up and down just to see which one I remember seeing and wanted to comment on...It is OK if there are only two photographs...and I am complaining, sorry...just humour me, it is bloody 3am on this side of my pond...

Anyway, in this second batch, that pigeon on the first image made the top of the frame too restrictive...the exposures are all OK...On the last image, I see a guy with his cell phone. Is he taking piccies with something there?, the title of the sculpture perhaps???

Interesting place...

Hey Izzie that sounds like a request i can't refuse But what's this 3AM business, have you been up partying all night again?

I'm not sure what the guy with the cellphone would have been doing but the place was crawling with tourists, even at 9 in the morning. They're a pain these tourists aren't they

3Am is my CiC time. Habit from when I was taking care of our Tucker when he had cancer. I had the night shift, Bill does the wake up shift. I own my own time...I sleep when I am tired. Not too much on partying as I am a teetotaller. Hard drink to me means a glass of Coke once in a blue moon... Your trip is nice but Europe is not in our plan at this time ... Bill doesn't want to take a risk because he is a Yank. We had traveled a lot in our days, we still do but this year and the rest of the year it has to be just within the country. I am more pleased to look at your travels and remember the places we had been..
