My love for photography has always been Archiectural Photography and also clouds. I used to love photographing architects models and adding clouds to the prints, usually done on a big process camera. Modern photographers have a blessing in disguise called Photoshop to add backgrounds and scenic clouds. Good luck with your endevours , save and get a perspective control wide angle lens. It will make you a lot of money!

I am looking forward to learning about this aspect of photography, I have shot pets, food, floral, and still life but want to stretch a bit out of my comfort zone and grow some. What, please, is a perspective control wide angle lens? I have a 10-20mm and a 40mm as well as a few longer lenses but do not know what kind of lens the perspective control wide angle lens might be. I shoot mostly Nikon now if that helps.

Architecture? I love it. On a quite serious vein, here are some shots of the fabulous Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles designed by the Canadia architect Frank Gehry. It'a difficult to get a "clean" shot due to traffic and street signs and my efforts to remove them digitally are all to woefully inadequate as you can see in the third photo.

Thank you Ian, I appreciate your comment. But don't be green with envy, I'm strictly an amateur. I'm attaching number three again so you can see what it was like before my rather bad digital alteration.

They are indeed. Gehry has a unique style and I am a great enthusiast. Here's a shot of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao in the North of Spain. It was built on the site of an old shipyard and you can see quite clearly how Gehry has paid homage to that.
Pity about the tower block in the background. I did doctor this original phot to remove it and if I can find it, I'll post it. In rhe meantime though, I'll attach another shot that I really love.
Did you know that to build his designs he uses a computer programme that was originally designed to build the French Mirage jet. Each titanium panel is different and has to be put in an exact position.
GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM WITHOUT THEN IBERDROLA TOWER
