The Spider and the Web Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Spider and the Web

Shopping malls are huge webs where many spiders, some really venom, are always ready the trap and catch the unwary.

Photo taken inside the Suria Shopping Mall at the base of the Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur. It shows the conic ceiling with the lifts column on the right.

Hi Antonio

Great abstract shot. Futuristic. Great lines. Well spotted. Never would have guessed this comes from the mall. I like your inclusion of the column-adds interest.

TFS,
Tosca

Hi Antonio,
I have only seen exterior shots of the twin towers, this one gives a completely different perspective.
A very creative POV, your analogy to the spiders web is perfect.
What a marvelous peice of engineering this is.
Excellent shot.

Hi Antonio,
I haven't been to KL since the towers were built but know what shopping complexes are like across SE Asia. An impressive ceiling on this one and a great capture of it by you.

Olá Antônio,
bem interessante mesmo o grafismo criado por esse teto, lembra mesmo uma teia de aranha. Gostie do controle de luz também.
Parabéns e Abraço

Hi Antonio, Good upward POV of this fine structure. Having attempted some shots similar, i realise how tricky it is to get a good one like this image. Certainly a beaut structure, and i hope to see some shots of the outside from you soon. TFS. Murray.

Ola Antonio

I like the radial pattern of the building's interior design. Excellent sharpness & good repetition of geometric patterns, shapes & designs. Tfs!

Olá António,

Foto com um efeito interessante. Bem visto o título com os elementos da imagem.
Cumprimentos,

Hola Antonio,
Tengo una gran envidia de ti, que suerte tienes de poder visitar tantos países.
Me gusta la perspectiva y el grafismo de la imagen, parece una gran flor metálica. Excelentes detalles y luz.
Un abrazo,
Charo

Olá António!
Acho que é a primeira vez que vejo uma foto do interior! O título está muito bem escolhido e gosto da arquitectura. O detalhe está perfeito!

Olá António,
buen ojo para esta impresionante toma, en un fuerte contrapicado que funciona muy bien para captar la espectacular geometría de esa cúpula y de la columna de ascensores. Es una arquitectura muy interesante.
El grafismo que has obtenido es una maravilla, en una composición muy atractiva, y con un título muy apropiado.
Bello trabajo, amigo.
Un abrazo,
Josep

Hi Antonio

Very good selection of photo focus, the dome of a mall. I never looked at it this way, but it is a very good idea how to let architecture look interesting. Excellent composition, gray hues and sharpness. Well done

Best regards
Urs

Bonjour Antonio,
c'est très graphique et aussi trèds élancé. l'inclusion de l'élément montant à droite est un plus dans ce cadrage très efficace. Netteté et lumières parfaites aussi.
Excellent mardi.
Daniel.

delpeoples (6634) 2009-10-27 2:34

Ola Antonio, an aptly entitled photo if ever there was one. The slight distortion to the photo is both artistic and interesting. I can imagine the light conditions were difficult, yet you have overcome them well. I like the inclusion of the "thingy" to the right which adds further dynamism to the image. Nice work, TFS Lisa

riclopes (33119) 2009-10-27 2:36

Gosto muito desta, António. Pelo forte grafismo e pela mensagem curta e sucinta. Se isto é a casa de uma aranha nem quero pensar no tamanho do insecto que é dono disto. O efeito visual é espectacular.

Hi Antonio,
I like this graphical metallic web with fine details. Sometimes like here in your shot it is interesting to look up at things.
