Here is an image I took today. The Apple Store at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. Interesting architecture in the form of a glass sphere. Entrance is either via the gangway seen on the left leading in, or from another entrance under ground where I stood via a tunnel under the water. Alpa 12 STC with Rodenstock HR 4/0/40, Hasselblad CFV II 50C back.

When I go around photographing, I always love to learn about the myths and legends attached to the places I shoot. I find them to be very inspiring, and when I can't find any, I always make up stories of my own instead.

Risin og Kellingin, or The Giant and The Witch, are two sea stacks off the coasts of Eysturoy, on the Faroe Islands. Legends tell that the two of them went from Iceland to Faroe to reclaim the islands, and bring them back. However, their nighttime attempts to pull the Faroes back to Iceland failed, and as morning's first light shone on them, it turned them into stone, and there they stood since.

Here's four different images of Risin og Kellingin, taken on four different days from three different viewpoints:


Phase One IQ4, XT - Rodenstock 90mm, 2 minutes Frame Averaging at f/11


Phase One IQ4, XT - Rodenstock 23mm, 4 minutes Frame Averaging at f/13


Phase One IQ4, Hasselblad 180mm V, 1/20 seconds exposure at f/11


Phase One IQ4, Hasselblad 180mm V, 1/30 seconds exposure at f/11

Can't wait to be back there in March! Thank you for viewing & commenting, best regards

Quite heavy handed with the editing, looks very surreal to me :oops:
Yes. It's not realistic like, say, a 10 minute exposure at the ocean. ;)

I used to work on the 47th floor of the building partially visible at the far right and did see light like that. Not such a stark contrast, though.

Ah. Here it is... This was 2008 and the scenery seemed fitting to the mood in the financial district. I saw it out the window and ran from the meeting to get the camera.

very good Matt!!

In Germany there is a band called "einstürzende Neubauten".
Your picture could maybe be a cover for a "best of album" of this band ...
