Glass and Brick

Uploaded: May 17, 2007

Description

1/30 at f/11; Lens 17-85 f/4; Focal Length 17; ISO 100; Hand Held; Natural Light

While on a photo walk, I came across this building's wall with its mix of glass and brick. When I saw the illumination of the afternoon light, I simply couldn't resist making an exposure.
