This was my attempt, several PUGs ago, to get an original view of Big Ben: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=2407307 Jaume Lahuerta, "Big Ben" - ok, so maybe there *are* no original shots of the Houses of Parliament, but that's a damn good try :-)

Re: June PUG comments
It's not that I need to make them out, it is that they are just fuzzy enough to be mysterious and keep my attention on the photo. I'm sorry to hear they closed the cinema.

Thanks for a kind comment. I'm not sure if I can make out all the titles. I don't have anything with greater DOF and the cinema is closed now so I can't go there ang have another look. The building is going to be taken apart soon but there is a chance for a new movie theater in the new building.

In the original picture the shadow is bigger but not that disturbing, and I agree that I didn't achieved the level of isolation needed only cropping. That is, or the whole building or only 3 or 4 balconies. I'll try with a tele. Thanks for your time, Jaume __ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!

June PUG comments: Paul Stenquist, Jaume Lahuerta
" New York Geometry " by Paul Stenquist, USA: I like this. The composition is balanced and the lines enhance it. The extension is eerie, and the reflection makes it look as if adhered to the glass with some adhesive. The lighting is flat and the sky bleak, but I assume that was what you were looking for, to achieve this cold look. Good photo! " Balconies in the Afternoon " by Jaume Lahuerta, Spain: This is an interesting subject, but I wish youd be able to isolate some detail with a longer lens. The lighting is pleasant, but the big shadow at the BLC breaks the pattern of the other shadows and is distracting IMO.

For example, the stations on smaller towns are all erected according to the same planes. Every few kilometers you find what was initially the same building, each now modified in different ways by time and the people using them. Next time I go I'll try to get off the train, if they are still running, or use a car and spend a day visiting them. j -- --- Juan J.
