Smaller Than Life–Gillette Stadium Architecture
I had the good fortune of getting free tickets to a New England Revolution game a few days back. Naturally I came away with shots of the architecture and not the game! On another note, I’m always glad to mix in some more abstract shots. I think that these do a good job of showing a piece architecture that really is massive and making it seem smaller than life.
LOL…shots of architecture and not the game.
These are all stunning in detail and layout. The concept of smaller than life really does stand out.
#2 is really interesting though because of where/how the focus is set. In this case I feel the viewer is instead made to feel small because the point of view is behind and below/on eye level with the seats perhaps? But it’s also the focus that makes the entire picture really eye-catching; the deep azure and repeated smooth shapes really catch and hold the eye as well.
#1 has such warm inviting colors, ranging from gold to deep copper. Very intricate photo overall, with the parallels and perpendiculars.
I like how #3 encompasses the curve of the seats, like a unified motion throughout the picture. That’s awesome how you’ve grabbed that gradient too - blue to white back to blue. Have you seen the scales of a monarch’s wing before? That’s also what #3 and 4 remind me of, in an abstract sense. http://www.bath.ac.uk/ceos/Insects3.html
In a visual-tactile sense, 1 3 and 4 feel like if one were to reach into the picture, one would touch something very small, like the metal bits on a circuitboard, or perhaps some other kind of electronics.
May the eye capture all that may be seen.
