Back in the day architects seemed to fancy themselves as photographers. My wife and I spent many a night viewing what seemed like an endless number of slides taken during an architect friend's then recent trip to Italy - most cathedrals and, God forbid, never a person in sight. After 45 minutes they all started to looked alike and we wished they would have gone maybe to Disneyland or the Grand Canyon. None came remotely close to the quality of the stuff you are doing. I once asked a friend if he still had his Leica. "No" he said, "I sold it". "I found I can take just as shitty pictures with a cheap camera".@William Dobson - thank you. Coming from an architect that's double praise. I have two close friends that design buildings for a living and they are both highly talented photographers. A heightened visual appreciation seems to come with the territory for architects - I

The funny thing is to the left of where I was standing is a pub painted in the colours of the Union Jack.....almost to make them feel at home when they cross the Tamar into Cornwall!P. There be grockles... cheers I
Love your work with reflections! Need to start (or continue) experimenting with that too.View attachment 25652
@Helveticum & @William Dobson - the Grand Via - Madrid. Cropped, obviously. Let your eye wander around. There's a lot going on in this picture. Reflections upon reflections. Street photography with people. Cheers - I
Btw, how do you usually meter those shots? Regular, or compensated?View attachment 25652
