Frozenace, your canon uses a smaller APS-D sensor, so the magnifying effect is 1.8x.Never Knowingly Understood.

Ok, not part of the challenge but a few of my previous attempts at architectural photos
Scottish Parliament building - the windows of the SMP offices. These are like little pods that they can sit in.
single pod and the outer wall of the courtyard
Chicago - John Hancock building
and the view from the topSome days there aren't any trumpets, just lots of dragons. Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again tomorrow -- Mary Anne Radmacher0 -
amazing photo's Cheri, the Scottish parliament building looks very unique.
Here's my small offering for this weeks challenge.
i took this whilst Chrissy shopping on Saturday.
It always seems strange to me when you get shops in beautiful old buildings.0 -
Lover that LT. It reminds me of Chester. I really like old buildings and I always try to look up when in a shopping centre because the front always looks the same but when you look up it usually a really beautiful building. That was what I was planning to do in Liverpool because the main street there is full of the most amazing architecture but you would never know by looking at the shopfronts.Some days there aren't any trumpets, just lots of dragons.

Wow - look what I missed by being away for a few days! Whoever would have thought that "Something architectural" would take us from Chicago to Paris via Orkney, with derelict factories and scaffolding dogs for good measure!
Contemplates - methinks you've employed some clever tricks on the processing on that second shot of the factory?! The balance between the exposure on the brickwork and the sky is superb, I can understand why that factory grabbed your attention as the lines are great. Cheri - lovely to see some pics of the Scottish Parliament building, I've been past it more during the long slow construction than since, so it's nice to get a good look at the finished building! LT Nice buildings - I can certainly see why folk are drawing the comparison with Chester too - where is it? Bury St. E or somewhere like that?🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡
