Readers send in photos of architecture


Architecture was the subject of Readers Photo Challenge for June. Buildings and their styles can add to the character of a place whether in a large city or a rural landscape. Ten readers sent in 35 photos. Here are the top examples which captured the style and character of buildings and/or how they fit into their landscapes.

Fred Norman of Stockton used a Canon 6D DSLR camera to photograph an abandoned ranch house along Highway 395 north of Mono Lake in the eastern Sierras.

Fred Norman of Stockton was on a trip through the eastern Sierras along Highway 395 north of Mono Lake when he spotted a lone abandoned farmhouse in the open rangeland. With a Canon 6D DSLR camera he photographed the ramshackled building which stands out against the natural world around it. A majestic mountain range, still with a smattering of snow, rises in the background. The house is set in the frame where a slope of one of the peaks draws the viewer eyes to the building making it the focal point to the scene. 

Carrie Walker used an Apple iPhone 8 to photograph the ornate ceiling in the lobby of the Bob Hope Theatre in downtown Stockton.

When comes to interior architecture photography what’s often overlooked is the ceiling. We often look around and even down but rarely do we look up. But that’s what Carrie Walker of Stockton did during an event at the Bob Hope Theatre in downtown Stockton. The theater’s lobby is full of wonderful detail and textures and it’s ceiling is no exception. She used her Apple iPhone 8 to photograph the ceiling and captured an ornate chandelier and the detailed oval moulding surrounding it.

Steven Rapaport of Stockton used a Canon 5D Mk IV DSLR camera to photograph the windows of a church in the historic state park ghost town of Bodie, California.

Steven Rapaport of Stockton was on a trip to the ghost town of Bodie. The town was a gold mining community built in the 1880s and is now a state park. The state does not restore the buildings but maintains them as they were found when it took them over in 1962. Rapaport used a Canon 5D Mk IV DSLR camera to photograph a window of a church in Bodie. The window leans to the right due to the settling of building over time and is surrounded by the texture of the weathered wood of an exterior wall.

Timothy Ford of Stockton used a Nikon D7000 DSLR camera to photograph a bard along Highway 4 at the Orvis cattle ranch east of Farmington.

While on a drive on Highway 4 east of Farmington, Timothy Ford of Stockton took time to stop to take a photo of a barn that’s passed by many times before. The weathered barn at the Orvis cattle ranch, sits in a pasture of dried yellow grass which lends warmth to the scene. With a Nikon D7000 DSLR camera Ford captured striking storm clouds billowing in the background which add a sense of drama to the photo.
