Ugh! This is the first day I've really had some time on DPC. I did meet with a client in Seattle last week and I always take my camera and drive around looking for shots when I go out. I managed to get a few interesting Architecture type shots, but no real detail ones.
edit: Here is one from last year that fits the assignment I believe:
me too, I've commented on a few today and last night...i'll try to get the old/new counterpoint pics soon...but it's so darn hot and humid here, I don't want to drive into Providence right now.
Checked out my first assignment pics; thanks for all the critiques! Thanks Robert and everyone for many helpful ideas..I do have other shots of that bridge, and yes, there are two bridges, the older one is now replaced by the ugly newer bridge on left...I'll try to get some old/new architecture this week if I can get into Prov...I'll post the bridge and superstructure in color.and the other one:
Thanks for the comments on some of my shots. Most of them were shot as I was driving by or hanging out the window at an intersection. The Space Needle one I liked because it was like a flying saucer over some apartments. BrianH commented about the wires being distracting - I totally agree - but look at the original! I just didn't have time to remove them all.
I put in the shutter/aperture, etc. on the bridge picture,Ken..thanks for your comments! It's still in the 90s here so I haven't taken any shots in Providence, perhaps tomorrow..however, I have taken Ken's Space Needle picture to new heights...or is it lows..no more wine, bad Marion.

Ahhhh, poor New Englanders! Ya, I'm just glad I'm vacationing here, it's about 120 in Phoenix, and 18 people have died.
Hi Gang, I'm back and ready to learn archtecture photography again. Wandered off to Lake Tahoe for a few days - was it ever nice.
After looking at dragonlady's interpretation of kpriest's image, I had to try one too. I'd call it "up periscope" but it's the wrong shape. Here 'tis...
Anyhow, now I'll go look more carefully at the rest of the images I missed this week.

Assignment:An architectural comparison image. A combination of two or more buildings or other architecture combined to accentuate the differences in style. Newer versus older works fine as do color contrasts...
Here are some shots that probably fit this assignment. I took them just before I left...

Banmorn made some suggestions on "Detail #2" so I changed the image and yes, I really like it better this way. I also enhanced the color of some of the blue fans to try to keep the composition balanced...
More suggestions came in, so here is version three. I'll look forward to your comments :>)

Sorry I've been taking so long, my flight back from the East Coast had weather delays. I have two posts for our first assignment a while back, the one with the Micro/Macro shots-
Here's a few for the architectural comparison image. I would have to say that Boston is second to none in the U.S. for this type of image, this theme came to my mind everywhere I turned.
Thanks for the comments. Regarding lens - I just use my default lens Sigma 28-70mm. It's not as wide as I would like though. I would like to have this: Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM.
