Tower Hamlets

[Mohain]

These were taken in a housing estate in East London (borough of Tower Hamlets). They were designed by Brutalist (I love that word ) architect Ernő Goldfinger and are still lived-in today. I didn't get as many shots as I'd liked as the locals to umbridge to me being there photographing. I was getting followed around by a growing number of yoofs, So I got the hell out of there!

C & C welcome.

Cheers,

Mohain

all good, but the first one's well good. I like the sky contrast, was this filter induced or post processing i.e. photoshop?

cheers, Lol

I in particular like the first one .. looks like a bleak look into the future ... quite moody too.

I certainly should also go there to take pictures, but then maybe not alone ... do you think the locals would be more pleased if there was a whole photographer invasion

Nice shots. Do you still have the color versions?

 

[Dikkie]

Great! I love lines like that, frontal things :heart:

Very impressive!
The first is an HDR?
Made from how many exposures?

I really like the harsh, contrasty black and white.
Wish I had photo ops like this around here ... it feels like just the right area for some black+white rangefinder work!

But I might be too afraid to take whichever camera I would bring out in those surroundings.... :scratch:

I also very much like the funny (dizzy-ing) perspective of your second photo here.
AND the concentration on lines and shapes in the close-up in +3 is also very very attractive.

Well, these are "genuine Mohains", so I should not be surprised, should I?

You're brave, taking pictures in Tower Hamlets! I had to go there last week to watch my boyfriend referee a match. Let's just say I spent most of the time in his car with the doors locked!

These are great shots though, well worth your efforts. Just next time take some protection with you!

I like these (especially the first two)...very futuristic looking (if that makes sense). And 'brutalist' is an apt word for this type of architecture!

I love all the shades the dark spots, realy good!

 

[Corry]

Wow! I'm LOVING the tones and texture in these! Great shots!

I think #2 is my favorite.
