Although the link below doesn't show it, I loved the couple's water tower series. They are famous for their BW photography of seemingly ordinary buildings and structures that through committment to only photographying the structures under certain light conditions and specifications and performing a series of photographs, the buildings and structures become facinating explorations of function, texture, and shape.
do you like it? I've only heard glowing reviews, but I have to admit I am not one to read instructions (at least not at first) and don't enjoy playing with a billion settings.
I did have a Nikon 6006 years ago and it just took such superb pics on its auto setting.
I am a diehard manual SLR person-my Nikon FE2 has never ever let me down. So when I had to figure out the digital SLR I hated it at first, but once I realized that all these buttons and gadgets and tricks and menus get you to the exact same place as a manual it was easier to figure out. I really had to study the manual though-it was in no way intuitive, coming from a manual to difital. I like it so far though-you can beat the "normal" size image file that's something like 50 inches in width...
The auto settings come out fine with this camera-I prefer to control at least two features-the white balance and bracketing, or shutter speed and apertature...
Arch Photographers
I am looking for some inspirational architectural photographers - anyone have any personal favorites or suggestions (beyond Google)?
Looking for both interior and exterior photos.
Thanks
David Allee is a good arch photographer here in NYC... He has a few books with his photos, I believe.

I think we are all architectural photographers in one way or another, don't you think? :o)
Are you interesting in decorating a space, or are you trying to put together a show, or what?
