Critique Welcomed Union Station, Los Angeles

[Brian Moore]

This wing of the station seems unused now. It was blocked off on the day I was there.

Mamiya 7 and Kodak Portra 160 film.

Really looks beautiful, as does the shot - that is your best camera, I think, Brian. Do you own it now, or is it still on loan?

Thanks, Rob. No I don't own it and I no longer have possession of it. I took this image back in March of this year, but I never posted it because around that same time Nihat had coincidentally posted a really impressive image of this same wing of the building, and I didn't want to appear to be copying him.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Got to get yourself one...

I miss Nihat - would @Nihat work??

 

[Aldous Lau]

A very nice shot Brian

 

[Pete Askew]

Wonderful shot Brian and, although it is a shame that the wing is used no longer, the absence of people add an almost religious feel to it. Nice.

I too miss Nihat. Sadly @Nihat won't work I don't think as he asked Hamish to delete his account. Are you still in contact via a guitar forum @Rob MacKillop ?

 

[Rob MacKillop]

No, but I very occasionally get an email with no text, just a link to his website... I leave an encouraging message, but get no response. That's OK, though.

Me too. I'd like it of he came back.

Thank you, Aldous.

Thanks, Pete. Much appreciated.

I am in regular touch with Nihat by e-mail. I still miss his images in here though...

Please pass along my warm regards to him, Lesley.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, @Lesley Jones - we all miss him. Let him know that.

 

[Andrew Cotterill]

that's a beautiful building, and a great shot of it, lovely colours. It does rather have the look of a religious building to it.

 

[Chris Dodkin]

Fabulous image - love the play of the natural light on the far wall, and the pools of sunlight on the floor

This is a really well exposed image - lots of feeling and lots of detail

Yes it does look a bit like a cathedral, Andrew. Thank you for the comments.

Thank you, Chris. As I mentioned to Rob in an earlier post, I no longer have the Mamiya 7. I wish did--Actually, I'd like to have one of my own. It is solely responsible for the exposure settings in this image. All I had to do was compose and remember to focus. Thanks again, Chris.

 

[Beth Carter]

wow, impressive image. beautiful light and detail.

 

[Brian Moore]

Thanks, Beth. Much appreciated.

 

[Paul Lange]

Really nice Brian. Looks like a really impressive building too.
