Thanks a lot for the nice comment again Gustavo!
I use B&W film and since such a long time, so it's nothing really new. I posted many other B&W earlier too.
Cheers!
Nick

Thanks a lot, David!
I think too that the B&W was good for enhancing the architecture of building. It makes the important things better visible, I guess.
All the best!

Thanks a lot once again, Dave!
As already said, I find this kind of distortion of a wide angle really good. It exaggerates my pespective and adds depth. Much like a typical leading line of a street, which is the same but in horizontal direction. But as also already said, I must get a T/S too, for correcting perspective and geometry right at the shot.
Just for seeing what it could look like, I tried to use the perpectivic distortion on this one, but I don't get any good results. The hotel gets so wide then and many details are completely pixelized. I hope that somebody could tell me how to use that possibility of correction, but perhaps the exaggerated perspective is simply too much to be corrected?
Cheers!
Nick

Grüetzi, he says! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrghhh! ;-)
Well Wolf, I don't use distortion. The guitar sounds then really like an electric hacksaw. I'm for overdrive and a single rhythm synchronized delay! ;-)
Seriously now, it's the typical exaggeration of perspective from a wide angle. In the horizontal direction parallel lines turn to exaggerated leading lines, and the same goes for vertical too. I use it quite often.
As already said, still it would be great to try such images with a T/S. I must get one some day.
But did I understand you right? Is that the crop, more or less, that you proposed? It gets denser this way, doesn't it? I like it too, I must say.
Un-grüetzi to the endth degree, and cheers!

Cropped after Wold's idea (?) |

Thanks a lot for the nice comment Chiara! It's distorted in the sense of a wide angle, which leaves some few possibilities for a "horizontal" direction. As I said to Paolo, I thought that the entrance should be more or less horizontal here. Still, about rotating it: How much would you rotate it? Any hint?
Cheers!

It is of course distorted in the sense of the wide angle, which enhances the visual non-parallelity of physically parallel lines into the depth, turning them to leading lines, much like for example a street that physically with the same width but photographically appears to get narrower and narrower in the distance. It's a feature, not a bug to me. Actually very well fitting the puprose of exaggerating perspective. From this point it is also hard to say what is tilted. In this case the entrance is more or less my reference to the horizontal.
Still it would be interesting to get this using a T/S-lens. Some day I might also buy one, but it will be not as soon because they are so expensive. This one would lose a bit of "high looks" if captured with the vertical lines parallel, but it would win "real look". I must try that when I have the T/S (at last).
Thanks a lot Paolo!

Excelente el punto de vita y la composición es muy buena, nuevamente el B&W me parece muy acertado, bravo, una interesante novedad en tus foto.
Felicitaciones!

Excellent shot, a good angle of the shot. The white and black improvement over the architecture of the building.
Well done!

Another well done architectural shot, Nick! As the others have said there is a bit of perspective distortion you could probably address in post processing as well as the exposure.

Good shot for a distorted rebel ;-)
But agree with Pablo and it is a bit dark.
I feel there is value in here but then you need to crop a sub part of the building, eg the upper niche.
Use your hacksaw.

Good photo..If I may maybe the hotel is pending a little bit to the right...isn't it?

Dear Nick, unfortunately this picture is very distorted and tilted. Very difficult to photograph a building from the street if you dont use an optic bank:-)
