Description Taken at bengtskΓ€r lighthouse, the biggest lighthouse in scandinavia, atleast thats what they told to us.

There's alot history about that lighthouse, it was built in 1904 if i remember correctly, and it has been tried to take over several times and russians tried to destroy it, they told us that they came at 4am with 100+ elite soldiers, and there was only 32 soldiers at lighthouse, but somehow they managed to get the russians retreat.
Over 100 people have died in there, victims of war.

3 exposures with trippod, all exposures 1sec +.

Compiled in photomatix

Post process in photoshop

Hope atleast some of you like it <3

on this one, I believe I love the editing and the angle of the photograph. The story below it also counts allot for my point of view, since now I know what I'm looking at.

Patual In reply to SantiBilly [2008-09-19 21:08:22 +0000 UTC]

all the broken parts could be from the grenades, I just can't help to think about the night, the panic that the soldiers had when they noticed that there is a attack going on.
Many died.

star-saphire [2008-08-31 13:52:20 +0000 UTC]

this is great i would have cropped it to make the center of the stairs the center of the photo (but thats just me). \
im really loving the shapes, patterns and tones and the way you have captured the textures is awsome.

Patual In reply to star-saphire [2008-08-31 13:58:36 +0000 UTC]

Then again, that would make the composition boring.

star-saphire In reply to Patual [2008-08-31 14:03:24 +0000 UTC]

it could do ... but your eyes are mostly focused on the stair well any way... but then you could argue that because you are drawn to the main vocal point then there would be no need for cropping; i am also just saying maybe you should crop it as im following the line and pattern rule of photography.

still its a very good photo
