Lost the highlights

Cheryl Speechley was fascinated with Sydney’s newly-built

University of Technology building designed by US architect Frank

Gehry. She writes: “The side of the building that receives the most

publicity is the brick side which is described as a crumpled paper

bag due to its unusual brick design.”  However Cheryl was taken

with the glass side which ref lected the sky and adjacent buildings.

“Wanting to experiment with my new camera, I was lucky to get

some shots when the sky was very blue with f luffy white clouds

and due to the different angles of the glass, a purple colour was

also present.”

While most people will only know the crumpled paper bag

side of the building, this shot is an interesting twist, highlighting

Gehry’s design skills in all facets of the exterior design. It’s good

to see another viewpoint and those ref lections are fun. One of the

problems with ref lections is that there can be a lot of glare, and the

result is that the highlights here are too light. You need to shoot

darker or, if you have lightened the shot in postproduction, darken it

down. However, your rule-of-thirds composition works well.

SA I M A’S T I P: In bright situations, it’s best to underexpose slightly

so the shot is not too bright and retains detail in lighter areas.
