New house on the block

[Frank Fremerey]

This house was delayed sooo long and although it is already open it is still under construction inside and out, lots of traffic is running through the narrow passage in front of it, a lively and chaotic scene.

I will post several takes on this house in the weeks to come, hopefully also of the soon completely finished building.

Love the idea.  It looks like a time lapse movie frozen in one still image.

Thank you Akira. That is what it is and it is a multiperspective multifocus panorama on top of this...

Frank, most of your abundance of techniques you incorporate into all your pictures are beyond me, but I always enjoy them, for sure.

Hi Frank,


Very cool idea.  As Akira-san said, the techniques are well beyond me too.


I like the gritty-yet-ephemeral feel of this image.  The almost monochromatic tones in the middle of the image are most interesting.


The one that is a bit unsettling about this image is that the eye gets drawn to the top of the frame due to the uniform white of the sky and expects to find something that isn't there. (If that makes any sense?)


Look forward to seeing more of your images.


Cheers,

+1 for me on all points. The apartment looks like a mix of old and new ... what do you think of the style and how it fits into your neighborhood?

[Frank Fremerey]

Gary. The neighbourhood was destroyed long ago by tearing down two blocks of wonderful GRUENDERZEIT
historical buildings in the 1970ies. I will find pictures from that time and you will understand.

So in that grown uglyness this house needs to have some impact to be not drawn under in a deserted concrete hell.

raaj. The weather  was not the finest today. Light drizzle from a pale gray sky. I will show other perspectives in other weather soon.

This is about how it looked there when I was a child:

PS: This house contains a public library, a café and a kind of evening academy for everyone (VolksHochSchule)...

some of 120 frames that went into this...

1) two action frames
2) one key frame that stabilizes the graphics

And a ... somewhat streched ... subset edit

The architecture wouldn't cause an eye to bat here in LA ... sadly the more I see, the more it doesn't fit.

Yes, Thank you. I am not convinced until I see the finished building in its context.

I will show it from multiple angles.

When I saw the drafts of the building years ago I thought: What an ugly piece of concrete. Currently I feel it is nmot as bad as it looked on paper.

Let's give it a few weeks to see how it really fits in.

[Frank Fremerey]

So after a few weeks they did some work on it.
I waited for the right light.
Now set into perspective.

360MP Equirectangular.
The toilet has the same height as the door.

Your pan shot is favorable to the new building. Perhaps you will repeat the original corner angle shot with nice lighting?
