Introduction

Following on from yesterday's post here are some more shots.
These are more architectural in nature. Perhaps you can use them in some posts that have a an architectural or city theme.

Also if you want to download the images directly for cropping/resizing or anything else the SteemImg album link is here.

Quick update on IR conversion as people were asking me

I have sent off my Nikon D7100 for IR conversion today. People were asking about how to get his done. In the US (and internationally if you don't have a local conversion service) the most highly recommended people are Lifepixel - they also have a host of tutorials and IR guides on their site. If you are in the UK I would recommend Advanced Camera Services (ACS). They were recommended to me by a number of people before I had my old Canon converted and I am using them again - the price is £250 pus VAT with a 3-4 week turnaround.

The Modern Library Building

I was limited in the shots I could take of this due to the angles. This is the relatively contemporary library building in the city centre. It has a "2001: A Space Odyssey" feel for me.

2 The IR colour version

I'm not sure which version I prefer. What do you think?

The Laing Art Gallery

Exterior building - The closeups of the word art could be useful if you are doing an "art" related post.

You can find out more about the gallery here. I remember coming here first as a child at school and seeing one of my favourite paintings - Isabella and the Pot of Basil by William Holman Hunt - it has an interesting story to go with it. You can see the painting below (source Public Domain from Wikipedia):

Mural

There is a mural of this on the outside of the building which came out surprisingly well in IR:

WWI Memorial

More details of the World War I Memorial from yesterday. I love the details on the sculptural parts of the memorial. Just look at the amazing expressions on all the faces of the family members.

Miscellaneous Architecture

Pillars

Some pillars on a nearby building. I found the shapes and textures on these fascinating.

A beautiful frieze on a bulding

A quaint building front. I loved the lettering and Victorian feel of this:
