Architecture and Urban Design

Hello!

For my first post, I decided to focus on the theme of architecture and urban design, which is also an interest of mine in addition to photography. I returned from a trip to New York City a few weeks ago, and I thought I would share some of my favorite photos that I took when I was there that would fit this theme.

I saw a lot of funky and unique buildings and structures while exploring the city that really inspired me to take lots of photos on this trip. What you see below is the World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan, the new Hudson Yards development in Chelsea, and a couple of photos taken in Tribeca, which is where we stayed.

I found that urban photography allowed me to experiment with unique angles and perspectives in order to work with the design of the architecture. I also tried combining additional elements into some of my photos to make them interesting and dynamic, such as colorful artworks and pedestrians.

These were all taken using an iPhone 7, and most are unedited. I hope you enjoy this week's collection, and I'll see you all next week!

Sunsets

Hey guys! Sorry I missed last week- I have been busy with school lately. On the bright side, it has allowed me to take plenty of photos for my next theme- sunsets! These photos were all taken in Bermuda around dusk. I found it interesting how different places in Bermuda allowed me to frame my photos differently- some have water, some have trees, some have buildings... etc. The first few photos were taken at the Loren hotel at Pink Beach, the next two from my house, one from a friend's house, and the final one from the 1609 restaurant. The sky was also a dynamic element in my photos, and is what made each sunset unique. Taking photos of sunsets gave me practice in landscape photography, which is probably my favorite and most-used way of taking pictures. It also allowed me to experiment with lighting features on my iPhone so that the photos would not be under or over exposed. Without further ado, here's this week's batch of photos, all taken on an iPhone 7 and unedite...

Neon

Hey everyone, This week I wanted to try a theme that's a little different. I noticed that many of my photos feature bright colors and lights, so I thought a "neon" theme would be appropriate to display these. For the nighttime photos (which most of them are) I had to make sure they were not blurry. This is pretty hard to do with an iPhone camera lens, as the exposure cannot be adjusted manually. This meant I had to hold the camera extremely still when taking these. I also had to digitally adjust the focus so that the colors were not washed out. The following photos were taken in a variety of settings including the Hamilton Princess in Bermuda, the banks of the River Thames in London, and the inside of a disco taxi cab. In fact, many of them are photos of interesting art I came across that featured light, as well as buildings and interiors as well. All are taken with my iPhone 7, and most are unedited. I hope you enjoy this week's collection! ~Bobby ...
