Abraham Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln

Uploaded: September 20, 2007

Description

Daniel Chester French, the leading American sculptor of the day, created the famous statue of Lincoln which dominates the interior. The memorial plans originally specified a 12-foot bronze statue, but it proved out of scale for the huge building. The finished statue is 19 feet tall, carved of 28 blocks of white Georgia marble. French later had special lighting installed to enhance the figure.

Abraham Lincoln Memorial, Washington,DC

Exif: F Number: 7.1, Exposure Bias Value: +0, Exposure Time: 1/1, Flash: flash did not fire, ISO: 50, White Balance: auto white balance, Focal Length: 57mm, Camera Model: Canon EOS 5D

That special lighting is extraordinary, because the top half of the sculpture has warm tones contrasting beautifully against the cooler tones of the bottom part of the image! Vishal, he took this from a great vantage point really showing the majesty of the sculpture! #4818435
