Its just a difficult building to photograph. That power pole is close in front of the building. Then, if you get closer, the trees in front would block even more than they do now. I do not see a easy way to photoshop them out, presumably, there are windows behind them. A person would have to be very skilled to photograph the windows separately, adjust their perspective, and place them just right. Getting rid of the power poles is easy.TrumpetPower! said:Mt Spokane Photography said:I think this is a case for photoshopping out the ugly power pole and lines.

That, or find a better place to shoot from. Eyeballing it, the sidewalk with a TS-E 17 would do the trick -- and probably make the building look that much more impressive in the process.
Also, unless I'm mistraken, color would add considerably to this image. There are times for black and white, but I don't think this is one of them.
Cheers,

You have succeeded in tapping directly into my infuriation with utility poles, street signs, etc. I've been taking pictures of churches for 20 years, and it's almost impossible to ever find a clean shot. Always, there's one of those damn things in the way! And the B&W seems to accentuate it in this case.
So, from that perspective, it works.
Thanks for posting.

I have the TSE-17 and wish I had occasion to use it more often.
