CCTV Building
















Here is a shot from the soon-to-be-finished CCTV building in Beijing. It is a striking example of how China is not afraid to look for inspiration abroad. There have been many articles written about the building, including this one from Vanity Fair and this one from the New Yorker which includes a mention. I haven't been able to take a photo that I have been satisfied with that shows the entire structure, but only then can you see how unusual and bold this building is.

In this photo I took my one NEF file and made two images, one exposing for the building, the other for the sky, and then putting them both together in Photoshop.
