Night Shot of The Frederic C. Hamilton Building in B&W
The Frederic C. Hamilton Building, better know as the Denver Art Museum extension, is a unique geometric structure designed by Daniel Libeskind. The building is clad with 9,000 titanium panels that cover the building's surface and reflect the Colorado landscape. The building is situated near the heart of the city, but construction around the museum has made it difficult to find uncluttered opportunities to photograph it. I thought some night shots might enable me to isolate the building and obscure some of the clutter. Again, I feel these photos are better represented in B&W than in color. Constructive comments are always welcome.
I love the geometrics and angles of your second image. And the first really gives it context. Excellent choice to use B&W and the tones are done well!
Love the B&W images - add to the architecture. Excellent!
Cool shots! I like the black and white, it works well for these shots.
I like both of your images and am jealous of your opportunity here. You are sitting on a Gold mine of possibilities for shapes, lines, light and texture.
Looking forward to more shots.
No pressure
!
You did well with a fantastic subject. Shooting at night was an inspiration.

Your photos certainly are eye catching, and recorded in b&w adds to their quality! A different view in night lighting promotes your subject.
Attractive photos indeed, jmdenver! AP
The night shots in monochrome was an inspired choice, very nice work, especially #2.
