location

My plan

In order to complete my task I had to choose  a location, which was Birmingham town centre. The reason why I use this location because my theme is buildings and there are a variety of different shaped building. I use Nikon camera to take the pictures and it is really smart camera to use. Before I came to college I've checked the weather and it was a bit cold so I had to wear jacket. 

                   Geoff Perry

•His name is Geoff Pretty and he is one of the best photographer in the world, I like his photos  and the way he edit them, that’s why I'm using his images.• An exhibition of 15 of his photographs is on show at Brown's Cafe, Grange Road, Darlington. The cafe is tastefully decorated and provides an excellent choice of breakfast, lunch and evening meals. My business card and contact information is available on the premises.. Please see accompanying images

These  image are called converging verticals.  As I am researching building photography I came across this image on the left. For its colour and shapes I choose this image and done my own which is on the right . The similarities of the images are visible as they  are both churches.    

                                                             

                                              Simon Norfolk

Simon Norfolk was born in Lagos, Nigeria, in 1963 and educated in England, finishing at Oxford and Bristol Universities with a degree in philosophy and sociology.
After leaving a documentary photography course in Newport, South Wales, Norfolk worked for far-left publications specializing in work on anti-racist activities and fascist groups, in particular the British National Party. In 1994 he gave up photojournalism in favor of landscape photography.

Second picture below has also been done by Simon Norfolk, even though its isn't a building the main point of the photo is the structure of the house. I enjoy looking at this picture as it is so real and the sky light high lights the colour of the grass and shapes on the house.    

Simon Norfolk inspired me to look in to photographing simple buildings and make them look unrealistic. In the picture above Simon Norfolk photographed a building on a beach near sun set. The reason why I like this photo is simply because of the peace and natural looking affect.

  

This building has 39 floors, and it is the second tallest building in Birmingham town centre. The front façade of the building is floor-to-ceiling glass decorated in "tiger stripes" which are used to enhance the vertical impact. As the apartments were being furbished, an aqua colored camouflage was also added to these windows with some of the tiger stripes being removed.

Bull ring was Built in 1999 as part of the redevelopment of the famous Bullring indoor shopping centre in Birmingham, the dramatic new landmark building of the Selfridges department opened for business in 2003..

The building has proved a hit with both the public and design bods, earning it the RIBA Award for Architecture 2004 and Destination of the Year Retail Week Awards 2004.

This is St Martin’s in the Bull Ring stands on the site of the medieval village of Birmingham in an area occupied by retail and wholesale markets from at least the 1th century. A Grade II* Listed building, it is known as 'the Mother Church of Birmingham'.

this image was taken in the

Digbeth street. It looks quite

Good how the cars are parking

Under the bridge and the buildings at the side.

HSBC bank Is one of the biggest bank in Uk. Basically I enjoy looking at this picture as it is so real and nice.  

Little is known about Island House as it is such a small and seemingly insignificant building. However, the future for this building, and the surrounding site, could

not be brighter. 

The first important Roman Revival building in England, it was based on the temple of Castor and Pollex in Rome (see also Curl 288), it was the first important civic building in Birmingham. Raised on its tall arcaded podium, with its bays stretching back across the square, it remains the most iconic.

This picture is one of the building

In Birmingham town cent, I like the

Shape Of the building  as you can see

It.  

Centre City Tower is a 21 Floor commercial building in Birmingham, England. Construction started 172 and completed 1975. The building's architects were Richard Seifert and Partners.

The Centre City complex consists of two buildings, the Tower and the Podium. The Podium is a low-rise building that surrounds the Tower base, but (with the exception of fire escapes) there is no direct connection between the two. This arrangement means that the first floor of the Tower is at approximately seventh-floor level when compared with other buildings.

Centre City Tower is one of the major office buildings in the city, and is also one of the tallest in the city centre at 76 metres. It is a large building, not just in height, but in girth. This does make the building appear rather stubby from a distance, especially when compared to Holloway Circus Tower just up the road.

A Former Pasha’s Palace, this 136 key hotel has been in the same hands since 1965.  The hotel has 2 restaurants, 2 bars, conference suites and leisure facilities including 2 swimming pools.

The hotel nestles in the city ramparts in the heart of the historic city of Taroudant, the ‘capital of silver’ and regional municipal centre.  The hotel is just 40 minutes drive by expressway from Agadir Airport, with flights to many European destinations year round.   The region is the home to the UNESCO protected Argan trees, bee hives and is a rich fruit growing area

As you can see all the buildings are so cool to look at and the shapes, the way how they built it is just so beautiful and I like it.
