Kaleidoscope
Rotterdam - Cube Houses
by Alec Lux

The Cube Houses, was one of the places I did't wan't to miss in Rotterdam. This really is some twisted architecture. When you find the right spot, it's just like a kaleidoscope. Saw several times this particular shot on the net, always been amazed by its geometry. Sitting on my butt, taking the time for framing, didn't want to make mistakes for this one.

I used: Haida 150mm filterholder Haida CPOL / Haida 15 stops ND

Yellow Submarine V
Cube Houses Rotterdam
by Alec Lux

After spending some time making long exposure shots of the cube houses, I felt like taking some details. I wanted to respect the cubist form, the reason I made square shots of it. While I was processing this series, I suddenly started thinking of The Beatles. We all know that track named 'Yellow Submarine'. Isn't it part of our collective memory. I just couldn't get that song out of my head.

No way, did it again, just a few steps backwards, for a different framing. the wind is still coming from the same direction and the cloud movement is perfectly aligned again. Woohoow.

Kaleidoscope IV

After that iconic shot I upped earlier, I tried out some more long exposure shots of the cube houses. I made several shots with a global view, not specifically centred. Just 1 came up as a good shot, the cube houses wasn't that easy to manage.

Kaleidoscope II
Cube Houses Rotterdam
by Alec Lux

After that iconic shot I upped earlier, I tried out some more long exposure shots of the cube houses. Again I took my time for framing it. When I reviewed this shot on my camera, I was completely blown away. I think it's my most lucky long exposer shot ever made. The cloud movement is perfectly parallel to the roof, from left to right, amazing.
