Albuquerque Clocktower, a photo from New Mexico, West

Photographer's Note

Some of the old Spanish / Pueblo Indian style of architecture, in one of the main streets of Albuquerque, New Mexico. I have cloned out a pothole at left and added blur to the sky as well as adjusting levels at left. Taken with my old Pentax film camera.

At right is the Amtrak Railway Station.

Hello Chris,the conversion from film has worked very well retaining most of the lovely colour and detail of a bright sunny day.
The architecture is interesting as is the overall ambience.
Best regards Les.

Hello Chris,

Looking at the thumbnail, I thought I recognized this one. I have been to this place. I like the quiet streets . The day looks to be very bright with that blue sky. Great architecture . The red bus is an eye catcher.

Hello Chris,

I seem to recall having seen this building but from a slightly different angle. It has transferred well from film.
Your use of the double yellow line, emerging from the corner, has produced a strong f/g triangle; it also helps to give a natural movement from r/l across the frame. Converging lines work well for a sense of perspective and the exposure is sharp.

Have a lovely day,
Bev :-)

Hi Chris
excellent shot of this old traditional building that has such charm and appeal. Shame that it looks like it is surrounded by other buildings that are not so architecturally attractive. Executed and presented beautifully. Accomplished transfer into digital too!

Regards - Brian.

This is a nice capture on a fine day against the spotless blue sky. Good details and I just love the tone and depth in this composition.
Thanks and have a nice day.

Hi Chris,

The diagonal line of the street is an asset to the composition. The point of view is showing the details and colors of the architecture of the ttain station and of the clock tower. The good luminosity is giving nice tints to the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Chris,
changement de continent avec un que je connais mieux et d'ailleurs de paysage de borderline. Il me fait beaucoup penser � certains endroits de Louisiane, dans le sud, des petites villes comme Houma.
Tr鋊 belles couleurs dans des lumi鋨es parfaites.
Regards.
Daniel.

Bonjour Chris,

On reconnait tr鋊 bien l'architecture de la r嶲ion. La ligne jaune offre une belle diagonale dans l'image, ce qui lui donne de la profondeur. La lumi鋨e est parfaite.

Amicalement
