Photo Collection – UCSD School of Medicine
Architectural Photography, California Photography, Photo Collection 1 CommentThe University of California San Diego is a haven for architectural photography buffs. The campus sits near the bluffs of Torrey Pines, steps away from the Pacific Ocean, in La Jolla, CA. I did not get much time on campus during my visit so I was limited to the School of Medicine which by itself offers some great architecture and details to photograph. On a typical gray Southern California morning the concrete structures of the School of Medicine present a challenge to an architectural photographer. You risk a drab gray on gray monochromatic image where nothing really stands out. The best solution to this problem is to wait until the clouds burn off which usually happens by late morning. When that is not possible I’d suggest trying to include color from the landscape or other elements in the image. Or, when all else fails, add in your own blue sky with the help of Photoshop.
