Looking up at Downtown Birmingham, Alabama. John A Hand Building center.

Last week I got the opportunity to go to downtown Birmingham with Kelly to do some personal work. Sometimes it’s nice to just go out and shoot with no particular objective or assignment in mind. The weather was as perfect as it could be (it had been raining for what seemed like forever) so we loaded up the car and head out.

Some of the shots were of popular Birmingham landmarks, some others were just abstract. I was looking for interesting color contrasts, lines, and framing. I tried out some techniques for the first time and my new geared tripod head which is so awesome for architectural photography.

Take a look at the shots below and let me know which one is your favorite in the comments!
