Thanks! There is something about good old-fashioned film grain!

The Berliner Dom was a surprise, I didn't expect something so beautiful in a German Cathedral!

Very good dome shots everyone! :)

A beautiful thread that would satisfy any architecture student studying the historical part of the development of domes... They certainly should drop by. : )

Thanks for sharing,

Great shots all, who would have thought Sury would have such a wonderful collection of domes at hand made to order for this thread, nice work, and nice work as well Graeme. I think that one in Berlin is my fav so far, but it's a very difficult choice they are all amazing. I don't think there are any good domes here, there might be one or two old style smallish ones but I'm pretty sure they are solid metal type and probably not accessible to photograph anyway.

Impressive, Sury. : )

As Greg already mentioned, do you have a special liking to dome or architectural photography in general? These indeed revolve around a specific subject. Not everyone's photo subject choice...
