Submitter's name:	Adam Bolty
Title:	Untitled
Gear used:	Taken with OM-10 and 35-70 f4 Zuiko plus polariser.
Aperture:	f11
Shutter speed:	1/125 sec
Film used:	Extrafilm 200 speed film
Subject information:	I just liked the dramatic sky and the lines and shading of the building. I basically took this image because I thought with the right subject (eg a person in red) I could make a very effective digital montage. Shot at f 11 to obtain good sharpness and keep the sky in focus as well.

A really dramatic photograph, I like it very much. It makes me think of rondovals in Benin. Is this the Med somewhere?

how did you get the IR look with just a polarizer?

Very effective contrast between the simple geometrical shapes of the building and the complex patterns of the sky. Nicely cropped too - if more of the building was shown I think you'd lose the effect.

Very dramatic.

Tonal range is well handled separating the building from the sky.

What B&W should be! Simple, yet so effective. Well done.

To Benson, This shot is taken of a small section of alocal surf club on the Gold Coast (Probably have given my identity away now) but it is because the shape reminds me of the Med that I took the image To Siddiq The shot was originally on colour but I always saw this as a B&W (95% of what I take is taken on colour film kmowing that it can be changed later digitally). I actually moved into a position so that I got max. polarisation and almost turned the sky black. To everyone Thank you for your comments.
