Fun with Angles and Architecture

I enjoy exploring the world with my camera and I mostly take nature photos but every now and again I like to mix things up and find different things to photograph. Light always plays a big part in my photos but there are also so many different interesting buildings on campus and around where I live. For this blog post I decided to share some of the interesting angles and architecture that I found. 

I love blue sky and clouds. There is a sky light in the overpass that I use to cross campus and thought it would be fun to get a picture of the clouds through it

Another view of the overpass -- there is a lot of glass which reflects the sky quite nicely. This is taken from below the underpass itself where ther cars pass though and I liked that you cam also see the trees on the other side 

This again is about the reflection. I love finding buildings with lots of windows and taking them from a distance so you can see flowers and trees and clouds in them

Another reflection photo -- the light on the building was so nice and I loved the layers of fluffy clouds in the puddle

This little storage barn is close to my apartment. I walk by it all the time but for some reason this white fence in front caught my eye and I had to get a picure 

I love this gold steeple and I was looking at the light and the clouds, but then I noticed the angles on the roof ... 

The next group is different scenes on the PSU main campus-- some of my favorite buildings

Many of you know I work at the library -- we have some fun sky lights on the roof and I like to get different pictures of them.  I loved how bright the glass was and also how visible the black linesare in this one

A differnt angle of the front entrance and the stairs leading down into the underpass -- loved all the lines 

Another 5th floor looking down picture. I really loved how the beam of light came into the courtyard 

This is the newly redone Burrows Building -- I really loved the angles on this 

and old main taken during a recent storm -- from the 4th floor windows of the library 

another shot of old main -- actually taken from inside the IST building wher ethe over pass is -- you can see part of the overpass which I find especially fun

This is the Steidle building -- a long view -- love all the windows and the dome and the columns

And a closeup view -- loved the dome against the blue sky 

This is one of the many sculptures on campus -- its about the fun of childhood and I couldn't resist taking a picture and sharing it when I saw this little bunny in front of it -- he might want to play too :D

The last section is all about shapes, lines and light

I love all the different stairways on campus and particularly how this one is in the trees

This is some of the iron work on one of the balconies. I loved the colors and the patterns 

and a wider view of the same iron work 

there are a lot of interesting light fixtures on campus -- I liked the simple lines and black and white on this one

And a wider view of the lights on the doorway -- I also like the birds in the corners

This is one of those simple hidden away arches over a door way. I loved the shapes and the patterns of the shadows on it

another view of the same archway. again I really loved the pattern from the lights 

and a wide view of the same doorway -- I loved the way the light beamed through it 

the top of the archway. I really really loved the weathered wood and the patterns of the shadow

and one more picture of the weathered wood -- these are on one side of the archway and I just loved the repeated shapes. Of course I had to be at the right angle to make them look this way . It was super fun to capture them.

Thanks as always for sharing my pictures with me. I hope you enjoyed my journey and experiments with some of the things I see on a regular basis. I will be posting again soon.. I recently purchased a macro lens and have been practicing with it. I look forward to sharing some of the fun shots I am taking with you.
