The idea behind these photos was to capture some of the beautiful blue sky as well as some of the Chicago skyline in the second photo. But this is a cool building that I saw when walking downtown. I liked the stone style and the etching towards the top. The blueprint is cool because the edges are very defined and the blueprint look emphasizes the etching.
This was yet another picture taken in downtown Chicago. I decided to photograph this building because the sun was shining off it very nicely and it was one of the taller buildings I saw. The camera really doesn't do it justice because it was later in the day but early enough when the sky was still blue so the light shone off the building very nicely. The blueprint is very exact and I like how it looks especially next to the straight edits.
This building was in Detroit and it was very dark and beat up. I liked how it looked on camera too, especially with the vertical sign on the side of the building. My favorite picture out of this set is the first one because the sky in the background is so pretty and you can see the light fading. There is also the reflection of the clouds in the window which is a nice touch. The blueprint for this set contrasts well because there are portions that are very exact and similar but there are other portions that seem slightly more messy because the outside of the building was dirty and bricks were mismatched.
I went to this museum with my grandparents who were visiting for the weekend and I really enjoyed looking through and seeing the place where some of the most influencial music was made and produced. It was also a cool building and a very nice day which made for a good place to take pictures. My favorite picture out of this set is the blueprint because the Hitsville sign is really cool with the blueprint effect and the rest of the building looks good around it.
My final set of pictures was taken in downtown Ann Arbor and it was a beautiful night. This set is of the State theater and I really like all three images in this set. The clean edits look cool because they emphasize the contrast between the yellowish lights and the blue sky. The color is my favorite part of this set because of the State sign on the top and the bright lights. The blueprint also makes a really cool effect because we can see the clear text on the sign and the beautiful architecture that extends past it.
