Submitter's name:	Chip Stratton
Title:	Made of Brimstone?
Gear used:	OM-4 + Zuiko 50mm f/2 Macro + Bogen 3292 car window mount with 3009 mini ball head.
Diaphragm:	f/2.8
Shutter speed:	about 2 seconds
Film used:	Fuji Provia F
Technical information:	Straight OTF exposure. Scanned on HP Photosmart S20.
Subject information:	A church in Charleston, South Carolina. Can't quite remember which one though. It is a clear night, and you can see a few stars, though not so easily on the reduced 640x480 pixel jpg compressed image. That is a palmetto (state tree of South Carolina) on the left. The window mount made it easy to zip around the city that night, shooting whatever might look good!

Been there, seen it, done it, BUT.. Not at nighttime. I like your picture way better than mine I took of this churh 17 years ago when I visited this town as an apprentice engineer. Awakes memories however.

Very nice. This one would go on my wall. I'm surprised you were able to get things as sharp as they are with a window-pod.

Excellent composition and dramatic lighting. I feel my eyes being swept up the face. A daylight shot wouldn't provide the impact that this does.

Excellent shot. The lighting really brings out the arcitectural details, and gives a strong 3-D effect. The palm tree adds balance to the shot, and makes it even more effective.

Oooh, very dramatic--dare I say macabre--lighting from the bottom! And the color: like it's reflecting surrounding flames while being untouched.

Excellent contrast between the green of the tree and orange of the lighting on the church.
