Belgravia C&C

DaireQuinlan

I live in this old 70s apartment block near rathmines. I was trying to catch a bit of the place here, on a particularly nicely lit autumn morning. I think I've been taking pictures of my son for far too long, so all C&C accepted

TelePaul

Uhmmm....don't take this the wrong way...but they are, in my opinion, a bit...'meh'.

DotOrg

i think they aren't all that exciting but in 30 or 40 years they will look far more interesting.

I quite like 1 and 3.

2 and 4 get a bit complicated I think.

I'm going to go with 'meh' too. The only one I like is #3 and that is entirely because of the interesting sky. Bland fail?

Smart simple collection, run through nicely as a set but perhaps with the exception of 4. I find that one a little jarring with the flow. Love pic 3 but think it needs the other two to make sense.

Look lovely as a set of three.

Refreshing too to see pics of this ilk.

Thanks for the feedback all.

@HK, yeah they're meant to be taken as a whole, I don't think they really survive in isolation. I initially had the first three and then another three (of which the letterbox was one) of detailing on the buildings (external stairs, some nice geometrical arrangement of windows and fire alarms ) but that one was the only one I left in.

I had hoped that as a group they'd be a little more than the sum of their (mundane) parts. Maybe I ascribed a little more context to them in my head than came out in the shots :rolleyes:

I agree with humberklog. Good photos. I can see what you're doing here. Sort of objective style photo-documetary. With the exception of the last one, I think you've composed and metered the shots well. You've also constructed the spaces in a way I wouldn't have - I'd have been flatter, more horizontal - and I think you've captured them well. (This isn't a criticism.) Very naturalistically, but objectively and geometrically.

Keep it up!

Thanks Potlatch. The other shots I mention above were actually much more square to the building, they were more similar to the letterbox shot than the looser environmental ones around the buildings.

2 & 3 for me

Its got that vernacular photography look. which is a good thing
