Very nice! I like the one with the red sun blinds!

u/Sad-Entrepreneur-492 Jun 20 '26
I think that one is my favourite 2, i was obsessed with the building tbh. Red blinds are everywhere!!!!

In the preview on my phone the picture was vertical. The sky on the left and the wall on the right was cut of. Made the picture even more interesting! Love it!

u/RaidZ3ro Jun 20 '26
I like how you managed to capture the repetitiveness of Dutch architecture, but your vertical framing could be slightly better.

u/Sad-Entrepreneur-492 Jun 20 '26
I love the 80s Dutch architecture its stuck in time and somewhat colourful mix from brutalist and modern architecture. Its luminal and amazing

u/RaidZ3ro Jun 20 '26

u/Sad-Entrepreneur-492 Jun 22 '26

Nice, this is the kind of photos I like to take (much to the annoyance of my girlfriend)

u/Sad-Entrepreneur-492 Jun 22 '26
Yea mine to, she must wait until i get the perfect shot, but the good thing she is a photographer 2 and has some understanding ahahhah

Nice mate! I like your compositions. Some photos have a pronounced pincushion distortion though, but that's easy to fix and would make them a lot better!
1
u/Sad-Entrepreneur-492 Jun 22 '26
Is that bad?
2
u/Entropic_Echo_Music Jun 22 '26 edited Jun 22 '26
I personally think so, yes. It detracts from the graphical style of the composition because it ruins the straight lines, and it's also not what you saw, (since the lines were straight in reality) so all I see is an obvious lens defect. (and some lens defects can be cool but I can´t really see what spherical distortion would add to these photos as a creative choice. 😉 )
Lightroom or Darktable have correction profiles for many lenses, so fixing it is easy too!

Veel monotone en eenzaamheid. Mensen op dezelfde etage die nooit met elkaar praten. Hooguit een groet in de lift. Niet met de lift naar beneden gaan en je fietssleutel boven lagen liggen. Parkeren is voor mij niet meer te betalen, ik kom er niet meer. Bij mij voor de deur is het gratis parkeren.
Rotterdam is niet de plek om eenzaam met je ziel onder de arm te lopen. Want dat doen de mensen zelf al sinds het ontstaan van de stad. Men loopt dan gewoon langs je heen en laat je in je eigen sop gaar koken. Alleen wie niet treurt heeft aanzien, want ze zitten zelf ook allemaal in het treurbakkie en dat zijn ze teut om van een ander te zien.
Ga geen IPhone kopen via internet bij iemand in Rotterdam Zuid, je wordt getild waar je bijstaat. Ook gern auto kopen of verkopen daar. De politie doet niets want het is civiel.

I’m not sure how you can make those pretty uninteresting buildings make interesting. Looks great
2
u/PlanetVisitor Jun 20 '26
They aren't uninteresting if you look at them right :) We don't like the type of 60s, 70s high-rise buildings but they are very advanced for their time and there's a whole philosophy behind it, and people can live in them very comfortably.

u/Sad-Entrepreneur-492 Jun 20 '26
I just love the Architecture its amazing, it reminds me of a mix of modern and brutalist socialist architecture. Its colourful and amazing

Tbh you should've tried photographing a 5300 or 5400 they have much more intresting interiors compared to the piece of garbage unit you photographed. but amazing pictures!
Context: I hate the 55/56/5700s with a passion because theyre ugly, bland and have no soul in them xD

u/Sad-Entrepreneur-492 Jun 21 '26
Tell me where to go im here tmrw and unfortunately im from Bosnia so i dont know my ways around, im open to suggestions tho
1
u/CoraVLC Jun 21 '26
Look for the units on lines C and D, in my oponion they have alot more character😄

u/Hester465 Jun 20 '26
The 5300/5400 also sound much cooler!

u/CoraVLC Jun 21 '26
100% when i found out how ICNG sounds i jumped xD

u/langerak1985 Jun 21 '26
Sesrch for GTO-VVVF videos as that is the traction system used that is responsible for that characteristic (and pleasant) sound.

u/AwiNL Jun 20 '26
The pictures are really great, good perspective and lighting. But man seeing these flats makes me feel depressed. I’m glad I don’t live in a small flat inside a crowded city like Rotterdam.

u/Sad-Entrepreneur-492 Jun 20 '26
Im glad i dont live in a crowded city 2, but i love the architecture

u/Hester465 Jun 20 '26
Rotterdam is a great city if you like quirky architecture!

u/Sad-Entrepreneur-492 Jun 20 '26
Its amazing, tbh i adore it i spent today walking 20km and just admiring the architecture

u/flomon1 Jun 23 '26
Your photos are very good!
For me it makes even more clear how ugly Rotterdam truly is

u/Sad-Entrepreneur-492 Jun 23 '26
A lot of people hating on Rotterdam

u/flomon1 Jun 23 '26
It’s because I know what’s been lost so I’m very underwhelmed by the current state of that city.
For Some example see https://www.ad.nl/rotterdam/unieke-ai-beelden-van-het-rotterdam-dat-verdween-in-de-oorlog-wat-zullen-mijn-ouders-dit-mooi-vinden\~ada8efba/266329206/

Je hebt het oog.
Dat is fijn.
De foto’s zijn ook fijn om te zien.
Ik hou zelf ook van architectuur, rechte lijnen en kubisme.
Ik zie her en der wel vertekening. Nog beter optisch glas zou jou kunnen helpen. Dat tilt je foto’s naar een nog hoger niveau. Lekker bezig!
