Portland Head Light is a historic lighthouse in Cape Elizabeth, Maine that sits at the entrance of the shipping channel into Casco Bay. The headlight was the first built by the United States government, and is now a part of Fort Williams Park.
As one of the most photographed lighthouses in the US I was very eager to get this one right. Also one fellow photographer I me while at Annisquam Light told me that the Portland Head light ticks all the boxes to be a perfect lighthouse shot. I have a couple of more interesting shots and I will post them as get the time.
La Cúpula del Reichstag fue diseñada por el arquitecto Norman Foster en 1993. Está construida en vidrio y desde arriba puede verse el parlamento alemán.
Il palazzo del Reichstag di Berlino fu costruito come sede per le riunioni del Reichstag, il parlamento del Reich tedesco. Fu inaugurato nel 1894 e pesantemente rovinato dai bombardamenti della seconda querra mondiale, tornò ad essere la sede del parlamento tedesco nel 1999. La cupola di vetro che serve anche come "lanterna" che illumina con luce naturale il parlamento ad essa sottostante è un'istallazione moderna risalente al 1992 grazie all'opera di sir Norman Foster. La cupola offre ai suoi numerosi visitatori una straordinaria vista sulla città dettagliatamente descritta dall'ottima guida che viene rilasciata ai visitatori. La visita alla cupola è possibile solo su prenotazione su internet (prenotare parecchie settimane prima) oppure attraverso l'ufficio prenotazioni poco distante dal'ingresso dell'edificio.
The dome and the roof terrace of the Reichstag Building can be visited by members of the public, and offer spectacular views of the parliamentary and government district and Berlin’s sights.

With this shot I took it from a very low perspective so that it would be more interesting. I also wanted to do something...
Portland Head Light, located in Cape Elizabeth is another wonderful lighthouse in Maine and it is the most photographed lighthouse in North America....

Detail from the Reichstags building in Berlin. Tried to find some dynamic lines.
One of the many famous, often photographed views in Hongkong. But I still had to give it a try and see if I could introduce some of my own style into this scene.
With the glowing smog above the city I have to say it looked quite nice and with some photo editing I think I arrived at a nice result.

Atlas, a bronze statue in front of Rockefeller Center in midtown Manhattan, New York City, across Fifth Avenue from St. Patrick's Cathedral. The sculpture depicts the Ancient Greek Titan Atlas holding the heavens. It was created by sculptor Lee Lawrie with the help of Rene Paul Chambellan, and it was installed in 1937. I took this shot while I was at the St. Patrick’s Cathedral some time ago and was looking to capture the sculpture which was photographed a million times in a unique way and ended up with taking this shot which I later found out was a pretty common POV. Hope fully one of these I will be able to get back there and truly find an angle which is unique to me.
