the big frog silo, that has been converted into apartments. The frog silo is placed in the right part of the image and on the left side a couple square apartment buildings (multi storage) are running into the picture. Its an evening shot.

The buildings old name was "The Frog Silo", but i am sure they have given it a much better name now. I have always been fascinated by this silo. Today the silo houses apartments. Expensive apartments.

The frog siloe photograph is made up of 3 exposures. 20 seconds, 1 minute and 1 minute 30 seconds.

The long exposure does something with the light. It gives it a radiant look, or something like that.

Camera: Nikon D200
Focal length: 27mm
Aperture: f/11
Exposures: 3

Nice work, I like the how the light from windows modules the tube of “Silo”. I would prefer to include ground so the heavy buliding does not “fly”…

I agree with the “fly” thing :) I was just hit by the big building and the way it looked that i forgot all about one of the major photography rules: “Include foreground” :)

This shot reminds me a movie ‘Blade Runner’. :-)

Thanks for your comment on my photoblog. :-)

Hi,

Just to let you know.

The name is more likely “The Seed Silo”, in danish its called “Frøsiloen” - correct “Frø” could be “Frog”, but it is also the name for “seeds” - Those things you put into the earth to plant :)

Neverthe less, whats the point of a silo full of frogs ;-P

Best regards, Philip Espersen Soon to get an office in the “frog”-silo

Hi Philip,

Thanks for clearing that up - have never understood why they would call it “the frog silo”, now i do :)
