Shooting the KPC Building

Been a long time since the last post. I was planning to upload these shots that I had taken around the the Head Quarters of the Kuwait Petroleum Coporation (KPC) as a part of a photo workshop last summer. It was pretty hot and balmy that afternoon and moving around the huge complex and shooting was quite demanding physically too! It was a good idea to have carried the polariser filter. Guess it has done a decent job with the sky and the glass.

Looks like lately its a shift to architecture photography as can been seen with most of the stuff I have put up here. Really wished could get some real critique from some real players in the game or some pros. Really don't know if these are good enough.

Photographing Architecture: The Museum of Islamic Art, Doha

Photographing architecture is yet another area of specialization in photography. The Museum of Islamic Art at Doha, Qatar does seem to be an interesting piece of Architecture to raise the creative energies in a photographer. It’s interesting how the creative genius of an architect generates and can culminate into yet more expressions in photographs. Tried my hand at this aspect of photography here. Of course, with no formal training whatsoever.

The museum is an interesting piece of architecture designed by the renowned Chinese American architect I.M. Pei, coaxed out of retirement at 91, to work on this project (petrodollars??). The museum houses some of the rarest and precious pieces of Islamic art from across the world, including India.

Wonder what a pro might have to say about these shots!
