Horizontal or Vertical, a photo from ニューヨーク, 北東部

Photographer's Note

The best way to view the pictures is to use the 3 links below.

Portrait or Landscape

It is sometimes difficult to choose whether you should take a photo in portrait or landscape format.
It depends on the long lines in the composition to determine the best solution.
Here in the large hall of the Oculus you can choose for both options.
The roof construction with the long skylight gives a long vertical line that can best be captured in a portrait format � Picture one.
The long curved shape of the truss construction, however, gives a strong horizontal impression, so that also a photo with a horizontal format produces here a strong composition � Picture two.
A solution with a square photo on which both the horizontal line and the vertical line is not the solution because the long lines are competing with each other in your eyes, which weakens the attention for both.
Unfortunately I don't have a photo in a square format to show that.

Hallo Rob

Vertical was the right choice here imho. A good upward pov and the people add scale and animate the scene. Nice shadow play at right where the sunlight is streaming down. Tfs!

Bonjour, cher Rob,
Choix : Horizontal ou vertical telle est la question !
C'est vrai que la question se pose, les images pr駸ent馥s utilisent des cadrages parfaits pour rendre compte de la beaut� de cette couverture b駭馭iciant d'un puits de lumi鑽e 馗laboussant joliment une partie du parterre avec un jeu d'ombre original.
Amiti駸.

Hallo Rob,
De hoofdfoto loopt wel heel mooi van de mensen op de vloer van de Oculus tot de langgerekte dakraam ver boven hen. We hebben het gebouw met verschillende lichtinvallen gezien, maar helderder dan hier is het toch niet geweest. Het warme zomerlicht geeft een mooi contrast met de blauwe tinten.

Kind regards Malgo

Hello Rob,
I think that by now the Oculus is one of the most famous buildings in the world for followers of TE. Today's three photos once again show us the almost endless photo opportunities it offers. Verticals, horizontals, architectural details, "street-photos" of people, abstracts � they are all possible. The skylight in #3 is a very elegant composition but the main photo combining the ceiling with a closer view of people (at least two taking their own photos) nicely combines the styles I like.
Best regards,
Gert

Hi Rob,as you know i like a lot symmetries and this post is absolutely perfect for this theme,all the pics are made with this style and are absolutely amazing! Another post from Oculus,but alwats different and do to create new surprises,i like it! Have a nice day and thanks,Luciano

macjake (98456) 2019-07-24 3:16

Hi Rob
I've been viewing your shots on FB, you have some good one's to post, looking forward to it :) Speaking of good, this is awesome. If I lived in NYC this would be a place I'd be spending a lot of time at, there are great photos to be taken here. When I visited 2 years ago they didn't have these seats on the floor, they add a lot. love the strip of light and the fact you got a girl posing at the right moment. Nice one indeed. cheers

Hi Rob,

The presence of the people is animating the scene. The length of the hall is creating depth. The point of view is showing the details of the architecture of the Oculus. Have a nice day.

Hi dear Rob

Wow so eye-cathing graphic image from you.
Your naming title is also so touchy with much wits.
Victory for your attention, your angle etting and your positioning. Nedless to mention about your keen inspiration.

All the best and have a good day! Takero

Dag Rob,

Heerlijke grafische foto met een mooie constructive.
Maar het licht above heft een schitterend effect.
Toevoeging van mensen is altijd leuk op dergelijke beelden.
heel mooi foto werk, bedankt.

Attractive and superior architecture's design, Rob, which beautifully shown on those three posts.
There is a nice eyes illusion when scrolling up and down the picture.
Good afternoon,
Ike

abmdsudi (95869) 2019-07-24 7:59

Hi Rob
A mind blowing stuff with your smart vertical format - an interior architecture and a real delight with its painstaking smooth detail highlighting all the repeats. An engaging dynamic composition with equally interesting features on the bottom level as it sits very well on the eye under available daylight with superb colour rendition. Awesome shot, Congrats
Best regards

gervaso (28177) 2019-07-24 8:52

Hello, Rob!

Hallo Rob,
Tja, wat is het beste formaat, portret of landschap, voor dit architecturaal pareltje ...?
Ik zou denken zoveel mogelijk foto's nemen en ze alle tonen tot iemand opmerkt dat het stilaan genoeg wordt :)
Maar bij de Oculus zal dat niet snel gebeuren.
Uitstekend lichtbeheer. Mooie kleurrijke en sfeervolle voorgrond.
Vele groeten en veel succes in Noord-Amerika,
Paul

kasianowak (17676) 2019-07-25 2:59

Hi Rob
I know what you mean when you say a square photo would not be a solution. I like both photos (in fact all three, but the ones with people are of course special). I think I prefer the portrait format (by a small margin only), because it makes for a minimalist composition with a lot of the roof shown and people at the bottom. Also, I like the colourful scene with travellers taken photos, all in the beam of light, resembling limelight on the stage. But that of course doesn't help with which format shows the interior itself at its best! :-)
Best wishes
Kasia

worldcitizen (16106) 2019-07-25 16:52

Hello Rob,
Views from the balcony seem to be more popular, so I like that you chose this POV for the main photo. The play of light and shadow is great, and I like those funky benches, too. I never get tired of seeing the Oculus. :-)

CLODO (45116) 2019-07-26 22:34

Hi rOb

Only you in the airport is interested by the geometry, the other persons prefer selfies of to be taken in picture. Your main post is really amazing.
Best regards
CLODO

Royaldevon (85932) 2019-07-28 4:37

Hello Rob,

I love these!
I not exaggerating when I say, they made me take a deep intake of breath!
For me, the vertical ones just have the edge, raising the eyes as they traverse upwards, giving the impression of opening wings!
I just love this place and would love to photograph it myself, one day!

Have a good day,
Bev :-)

jmdias (115280) 2019-08-15 13:29
