The Port Hole styled windows in the Maritime Hotel in New York City. Located in Chelsea, this was once the headquarters for the National Maritime union. Each window is 5 ft, and there is one per room…
… the building was designed by Albert C. Ledner, a New Orleans architect. Each room’s large circular window instills the feeling of a ship’s state rooms.
This picture was taken from the pavement on the other side of the road to the hotel. Gave the lens ‘shift’ a go – trying to get the holes in exact formation and getting rid of the perspective which results from looking up at a tall structure. In the end though, I went with the tilted (picture wise, not lens wise) look of the picture above. The edges of the building at the top right and bottom left corners break up the pattern, and the tilt-shift lens narrow band of focus is focused on one of the few open windows in the hotel.
Looking at it from a distance, it’s kinda hard to tell what it is at all.
