2.96 - "Solid" 

This is 'Kuggen' - a faculty building at Chalmers University in Gothenburg, Sweden. The building is shaped like a cog, hence the name, and is connected to surrounding buildings by two corridors designed to fit in with the aesthetic of the main building. Sweden's tallest building, Karlatornet - uncomplete at the time of shooting - stands in the background.

The image was shot on my Leica SL2 with a Canon 24mm TS-E lens. No filters. 1/15th at f8 and ISO 50.

This image was made in the evening. No artificial lighting. Processing included a first pass through Lightroom for exposure and a mild crop, then into Photoshop for spot healing, a 30% gradient map and a warming filter, then back into Lightroom for final exposure tweaking, a contrast curve, some negative clarity and sharpening before export. I wanted to photoshop out the sign/lamppost but the building behind it is quite complex and my skills weren't up to it.
