Old buildings and asymmetrical views









Just out and about in Georgetown and was taking some pictures of old buildings. Most of these are being torn down but there is a lot of opportunities to take pictures of these buildings. For the most part I was experimenting with taking face on and asymmetrical shots. By that I mean I was going against the rule of thirds, which I consider to be more of a guideline than a rule. The top photo I wanted to get the edge right in the center of the shot to capture equal sides and opposing views. I also liked the dark shadows and how they contrasted against the light. The bottom photo I didn't like at first but now it is growing on me. I think the combination of the old brick and the reflection in the large glass windows really accents the picture.
I love the old architecture in these buildings which really gives them personality. The arches and the decorations that align the pillars.
