Picture This!
Artful Architecture
Shutterbug Staff, October, 2004
This month’s Picture This!
assignment was “Artful Architecture,” and we were thrilled with
not only the scenes and places we got to visit but with the artful way in which
Shutterbug readers made the images. Using a range of wide angle and tele lenses,
with many fascinating points of view, the photos gave us renewed faith in the
beauty of what we as human beings can create, given the chance. Some of the
buildings depicted were very old, and some were quite new, but all showed how
the hand and mind can combine to create things of majesty, beauty, and imagination.

White Dove Of The Desert: Dave Leonard made this gorgeous image
of the Mission San Xavier del Bac, located outside Tucson, Arizona,
with his Pentax 6x7 and 200mm f/4 lens. He exposed through a #25
red filter on Kodak Tri-X at f/16 and developed and printed the
film in his home darkroom.

St. Augustine Lighthouse: Tom Green sent us a very exciting set
of images and picking one was tough, but we chose this image made
at the St. Augustine, Florida, lighthouse. He photographed with
a Sony F707 set at ISO 400 at f/2 at 1/100 sec.
