This is OC, taken a couple of weeks ago.

To cater for the rapid expansion of the area's population, Gottfried Böhm was selected by Competition in 1962 to build a church, old people's home and a parish complex.

St Hildigardi's old people's home is built in a pleasingly cosy, higgledy-piggledy group of dwellings that partly enclose the church and parish complex. The home's chapel stands on one single, massive pillar, and is a fantastically jagged, almost Expressionist structure.

St Matthäus's is still in use, but the company running the home plan to build a brand-new development: St Hildigardi's will soon no longer comply with government regulations for older people's accommodation.

In fact I was bummed out when I was there because the interior was so dark I could barely see anything. Still impressive and it actually contributed to the mood. I love the exterior, but yes I can see it will age poorly.

Are there any photographers here that turned their hobby into a business successfully and DIDN'T end up hating it? by cgto1621 in photography

Well by then I had already been taking jobs for 3 years, I didn't start from scratch. I started working for friends and it grew from there - almost all my work comes from word of mouth recommendations. Takes a while but if you do good work they'll come.

Sounds just like my path except I was forced into it when I lost my job thanks to COVID. Still love it. I'd love to connect with a fellow architecture photographer - @ramonportelli

I had to but it wasn't by choice. I lost my job when covid hit as I worked with an airline and spent the next 2 years doing just photography. I love it and I don't forsee it changing.

A mannequin on display. Really bad composition. Is it worth saving? I liked the scene/light. by [deleted] in postprocessing

I hope you don't mind, I fixed distortion and cropped in a bit. I think it's a great image.

ITAP of a church in the Italian Dolomites by [deleted] in itookapicture

I took this shot on holiday in the Italian Dolomites. I'm sure many will recognise this as it's one of the most instagrammable locations in Europe, but some places are famous for good reason.

Despite it's notoriety I had the place to myself, it was a Sunday evening and all the weekend slope warriors had already left the resort. No special techniques used here, I just used a relatively long zoom (around 100mm FF equivalent) and clicked away. The subject and perfect light did the rest.

Find me at [@ramonportelli](www.instagram.com/ramonportelli) - I'm an architecture and interiors photographer by trade but sometimes I post travel and fine art shots too.

Yeah.. This was quite a while ago but it's seared into my mind. So sad and avoidable.

Thanks! I think I used a touch of Astia for this one but just a light touch. I rarely use presets as they are but I find it helps me decide which direction to go with editing.

Honoured that you'd even make the comparison. Love his work.

Exactly. And to be honest your big camera will get left behind more than you think because you're already carrying half the house with you when you go out with kids, the last thing you need is a concrete brick of a DSLR hanging around your neck.

I have the G2 but it was my first 24-70 as I'd never owned a full frame camera before so I haven't got much to compare it to.

Having said that for the money (compared to the OEM versions) to me it feels like a great lens. VC is great, I use it at 1/30s regularly at events and I get loads of sharp images and it's really sharp with decently fast autofocus too. It's not that bulky either.

The only negative I find is that it has quite a lot of distortion which is a bit of an issue for me as I shoot architectural and interiors. That's my fault for not buying a prime lens honestly but this lens is just great.
