Obecni dum Dome

Posted by Jason Kravitz (Brussels, Belgium) on 10 November 2006 in Architecture.

Since I've moved to Europe I've really been enjoying all the Art Nouveau architecture. There are tons of great places right near my house in Brussels. This shot is from a building called the Obecni dum in Prague CZ.

I was thinking it was inside a building taken with some fisheye, then I realised it was 84mm... I felt stupid. The photo is really nice. The only thing I don't like about it, is this bottom left thing breaking the curvy lines.

@Suby: Thanks guys - I was going to try to edit the pink thing out but it seemed like more trouble than it was worth!

It's true the bottom pink things break the harmony of the picture. Otherwise, great shot !

Oh Gosh, what a concept .. to take a detail of the dome from the outside. It is beautiful. I am in awe. Well done Jason.

Very good color saturation and light. Nice work.

Awesome! I adore Art Nouveau. This one leaves me curious and like Aaron, not sure what I'm looking at. The pink post does add perspective and the realisation that the curves aren't a product of the lens. Shoot more of this showing more of it, please.

@Damon Schreiber: Hey Damon - I was in Prague last June so no chance to reshoot for a while :)
You can see more here. This is a detailed view of a dome on top of the building.
