This cubes belong to a more important building.
I found it very photogenic so I decided to take it, it also inspired me to do this friday theme.

Cropped about half of the original to focus more on the piling up effect.
pp add about everything: lightness, saturation, gamma, sharpened.

the original picture's data are:
Focal length:26.00mm
Shutter speed: 1/125
F-number: F5.6
ISO:125
Compensation: EV 0/6

Damien,

This is a very interesting building; I can see what attracted you to it. Could you tell me what kind of building it is—an apartment building, &c.

Also, I might have zoomed out a bit to capture more context of the building.

Hi Damien

Strange building but a nice shot of the architecture.
Looks like a pile of washing machines on top of each other.
Like the tight crop that you have made.

Regards Derek

Good job. A very singleminded and disciplined crop - keeping it tight, clean, and combining order and disorder beautifully to create a strong visual.

Hello Damien
What an interesting shot you show us and perfect to the theme!
Like Derek said, its looks like washing machines. Really this architecture is weird, and I guess it is acording to the space trouble that exist in Japan. Could this building be a some kind of cheaper hotel ?

Hi Damien,

Perfect for this theme! Well seen and photographed. Good composition. Interesting idea for a building facade. Awesome. TFS.

Hi Damien, yes, you do show us a lot of cubes here. Excellent shot for the theme, I think.
Good focus on the details of the building and very interesting to see too

Bonjour Damien,
Très bon coup d'oeil pour avoir capté cet assemblage géométrique bien contrasté. Je trouve pourtant que la photo manque un peu de "pêche" et propose une autre version en WS.
Bonne journée (ou nuit selon l'heure !)
Amicalement
Jean

Hi Damien

A good entry in the Friday 'Cubes' theme, & thanks for suggesting it. Are these aircon units, or are they those cramped boxes that salarymen sometimes stay in overnight? Have a nice weekend!

Bonjour Damien

Nice contribution to the theme, it remind me a building made in Montréa for Expo 67. Lots of cubic appartment like this. Very good idea, even with the soft light we have a nice 3D perspective and volumes. Nice work and TFS

Hi Damien,

You cubes theme is a good one and this shot is perfect for it. Your crop worked well to focus on the piling of the cubes and I like that they are slightly skewed to the right (or are they?). I'm also interested in learning what this building is. TFS

Werner

Hey Damien,

I can see what attracted you to this building. It's amazing! Having looked at your workshop, I must say that I wholeheartedly agree with your crop. The original image was a boring record of the building. This is a wonderful study on the character of the building.

Very, very cool shot.
