Local Architecture–part 1

One important thing about architecture is that you don’t have to travel far to find any:

Above is a view of the University block of Burton College, in fact the building in which we are studying this course.
Burton has a number of older buildings, which have their own style (like the University Block above), here are some examples:

Andressey Bridge	St Modwen’s Church
Burton Market Hall	Old Building at mouth of Burton Market

Architectural Photography

What is architectural photography ?

Architectural photography is defined as "encompass views of the exteriors and interiors of domestic, commercial, religious, institutional, and engineering structures, as well as records of the evolution of towns and cities".

This latter part of the description is interesting because there are a number of buildings in and around Burton On Trent, that I like and I would like to capture on a photograph, because in the past I have thought about taking a photograph of a building only to be beaten to it by the demolition men.

There are some buildings that I have seen on my travels that I like as either a classic old building, a striking new style buildings.

Below are some of my architectural photographs from our visit to Whitby:
