Architecture Photography in Black and White [ENG/ESP]
Architectural photography is really captivating for those who admire structures, old and classic buildings as well as modern ones. If we apply to these photos the absence of colors, I think they look more attractive, so that we can appreciate much more details, reliefs and offers us the opportunity to have another view on these great buildings that occupy our cities.
A few days ago I was in the neighborhood of San Nicolas in the city of Buenos Aires, specifically around the Plaza Lavalle and decided to take a few minutes to capture these buildings in black and white. First of all we have the Domingo Funes passage, I don't remember if I had already shared something of this but it's great to be able to portray it. A French style building that has been preserved very well over the years, it is an icon of the city.
La fotografía de arquitectura es realmente cautivante para quienes admirados las estructuras, viejos y clásicos edificios y también los modernos. Si a éstas fotos le aplicamos la ausencia de colores, pienso que lucen más atractivos, de forma que podemos apreciar mucho más los detalles, relieves y nos ofrece la oportunidad de tener otra visión sobre estos grandes que ocupan nuestras ciudades.
Hace unos días estaba en el barrio de San Nicolás en la ciudad de Buenos Aires, específicamente en los alrededores de la plaza Lavalle y decidí tomarme unos minutos para capturar estos edificios en blanco y negro. En primera instancia tenemos al pasaje Domingo Funes, no recuerdo si ya había compartido algo de esto pero me resulta genial poder retratarlo. Un edificio con estilo francés y que se preserva muy bien con el pasar de los años, es un ícono de la ciudad.
Most of the buildings that I share with you in this post were built at the beginning of the last century, not before 1910, I think it is in that first decade. For example, this second building was originally called Mirador Massue, although now it is called Edificio Tribunal Plaza. In its beginnings it was a whole building, but with the passing of time it has had many remodelings to finally be only this tower, which has as uses business offices.
I decided to take some pictures where the first one shows the contrast between this classic tower with the additional modern glass building, you can see how the dome is reflected in these glasses also in combination with part of the trees of the Plaza Lavalle. I also wanted to take some more close up pictures so you can better appreciate its design, the balconies, reliefs and texture of the dome.
La mayoría de los edificios que les comparto en este post fueron construidos a principios del siglo pasado, no antes de 1910, creo que está en esa primera década. Cómo por ejemplo este segundo edificio llamado mirador Massue originalmente aunque ahora lleva por nombre edificio tribunales plaza. En sus principios era un edificio totalmente entero, pero con el pasar del tiempo ha tenido muchas remodelaciones para finalmente quedar solo ésta torre, la cual tiene como usos oficinas empresariales.
Decidí tomarle algunas fotos en dónde la primera se puede observar el contraste que existe entre está clásica torre con el edificio moderno adicional de vidrios, se puede observar como la cúpula se ve reflejada en estos vidrios también en combinación con parte de los árboles de la plaza Lavalle. También quise tomarle otras fotos más de cerca para que puedan apreciar mejor su diseño, los balcones, relieves y textura de la cúpula.
To finish I share with you a series of random photos that have to do with this photographic genre but focused more on photography. They are also very important buildings built during the last century and among them is the majestic building of the courts.... well a small framing to show only details really (it is the third photo).
While in the first one, I focus on one of the domes of some building in this area that I don't know, the other buildings I selected at random also just looking for good framing and interesting photos.
Para finalizar les comparto una serie de fotos aleatorias que tienen que ver con este género fotográfico pero enfocado más en la fotografía. Son edificios también muy importantes construidos durante el pasado siglo y entre ellos se encuentra el majestuoso edificio de los tribunales... bueno un pequeño encuadre para mostrar solo detalles realmente (es la tercera foto).
Mientras que en la primera, enfoco a una de las cupulas de algún edificio de esta zona que desconozco, los demás edificios los seleccioné al azar también solo buscando buenos encuadres e interesantes fotos.

After all, there is a special grace in black-and-white photographs of buildings. Especially made on a sunny day, the play of set and shadows is wonderful.
black and white is special, I think! Perhaps because photography began with the lack of colors, I also feel that images can be appreciated more deeply like this. Thanks so much for stopping by :)

I love it all! I love how you are able to find and select these old buildings with fascinating architecture. Look at those balconies! 😍
Opting for black and white is the best thing to do when it comes to architecture in my opinion. Finding a combination of new and old is also interesting.
Thanks for these wonderful photos my dear friend and for the tag as well. keep up the good work and looking forward to your next photo series 🤗😘
Have a nice day and make the most of it 😉
Thanks my dear.
I think the same as you, black and white is definitely the most attractive version for architecture in most cases.
I like that we are connecting naturally in this sense and I love how we share it and have fun, together with the feedback in relation to photography.
Thanks for being always here, so kind of you 🥰😘
La verdad que uno puede sorprenderse de lo que puede encontrar en la ciudad solo con levantar un poco la cabeza, hay piezas de arquitectura, decoración y cupulas muy hermosas ocultas a simple vista que no apreciamos solo por ese hecho quemencione, no levantar la cabeza. Sigue trayendo estas fotos fantasticas que tanto disfruto de observar.

Wonderful shots of lovely old buildings from Buenos Aires. I like the black and white not only to emphasize the architecture but also to give the shots a feel of history. The contrast between history and modernity in the photos with the glass tower is excellent 👍
I really liked that contrast, many people don't realize it.
I also love black and white photography for that reason, you can smell a certain old atmosphere even if there is none, the details stand out more and it can be much more emotional, even when it's just buildings.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting my friend. Have a nice day :)
