3G - F4 Nikon D700 - 1/40 - + Filters
Part of a series...one of which was published (the LB work was not published) in a trade magazine (glass).
This structure is a project which involved the glazing contractor I work with.

control-freak f4 iso 200 nikon d50 taken last year in norway - a church

Composer, double glass
F4.0, ISO 100, 1/160

converted to B&W

Well, we had a low turnout, but that's OK, it makes it a little, and I emphasize "little" easier. I'd hate to try and pick from too many if they were all this good.
.
First off, all very interesting subjects. Mark's building is very cool, I love the look of the glass, and I guess I should, the building being one that was used in a trade magazine for the glass / glazing industry.
.
Keithnc's is right up my alley, very geometric, not only the subject, but the composition And of course, it being B&W gives it points in my book.
.
I must say, mjburden's image really grabbed me, right from the thumbnail. While the camera position is very static (the horizontal is horizontal, the good old 1/3rd rule is happening), the building itself, and the image manipulation really make this draw me in. I love the way the walls / roof appear like sails. The lighting and the post processing add to this. Congratulations on the win. I'd love to see more shots of this building, again the way the roof is layered is very interesting (see my crop). Some day I'd love to make it over to Norway and NW Europe.

Nice job folks! That was a very cool image, congrats to mjburden.
