Lately I’ve been experiencing a bit of an architectural bug. So I decided to launch a project photographing one of Utah’s most cherished icons–the Capitol Building. I’m not entirely sure how this project will play out, what will be captured, etc. I do know, however, that I could shoot this building for the rest of my life and not capture all of the story it has to tell. I’ll let you images do the talking on this post, but keep an eye out for additions to this project in the future.
Edit: These images are looking super yellow. Bear with me while I try and figure out what the dealio is…
Sweet stuff. Looks like someone got a tilt-shift? The horizontal close-up is my favorite.
Good idea. It is a great building. And the view from above City Creek is so very nice. This guy makes some good pics from up there too:

Good photos. I like the detailshots with the lights. About the third one, is this creative edit or a special lens?
Best regards, Jeroen
Yeah Justin. Been breaking it out here and there…
Hey Jeroen–
The third image was shot with a tilt-shift lens. It’s used often for architectural photography to counteract distortion (converging lines) from wide angle shooting. In this case, however, it was used creatively to shift the focus to a certain area of the image.
It gives a very nice effect to it, like it’s a miniature. Did you use this tilt-shift lens also in the other shots for counteracting distortion?
