Arch. shot

Here's my first shot of trying architectural photography (no pun intended!)

This was taken in Nagoya, Japan. On the 15th floor of Nagoya Towers, in front of the Marriot Hotel.
I was actually sitting cross-legged waiting for a nice clear shot where people were not walking through. There were a lot of people walking through this scene and it took about 10 mins of patience until I was able to take this shot. I was actually waiting for that guy that's in frame to leave, but I actually like the element of human presence that he provides for this photo.

Unfortunately harsh

The following photos was my first attempt to get into black and white photography.
I find that it gives the images an opportunity to present a strong feeling by showing the absolute tension of a scene without being distracted by colours.
Although what I captured was an unfortunate event, I'm glad to say that I'm happy with my first black and white shots.
