Thanks so much, Dayna, Tony & Lisa! Tony---I hope the answer to that question is "Yes"! But I truly appreciate the sentiment, and am glad you love the image too---the building is a photographer's dream (if you like that sort of thing! ;)

Nice work, Chris - you inspire us. "On the floor" because (a) you wanted that perspective, or (b) tripods aren't allowed in the LOC, or maybe (c) both? It looks like one could spend a lifetime in just a few DC-area buildings.

chrisbudny.com - Chris Budny Contact Chris Budny Chris Budny's Gallery |
Thank you Terry---DC is a fantastic place to photograph and tour, definitely! The Library doesn't allow tripods without an permit arranged in advance... I had arranged a permit for this visit, and was actually using my tripod at the lowest setting possible, to get close to the floor to pull in the mosaic patterns.

Already a beautiful fav of mine - it should go much longer than an EP in my opinion!!! Keeping my fingers crossed... (But how can you even think about upgrading the camera so that the 10-22 mm would be impossible to use?!?!)

chrisbudny.com - Chris Budny Contact Chris Budny Chris Budny's Gallery |
Thanks, Katta! Crossing my fingers, too! If I ever do get to a full-frame body, I will have to instantly buy the 16-35L lens, to replace our mutually-beloved 10-22mm for ultra-wide shots like this. (I hear the 14mm is also fantastic on a full-frame!)

Absolutely outstanding! Good thinking: Getting permission to use a tripod in advance. Everything is perfect! Expect this to bring in honors in the winner's circle.

Thank you, Bunny! I prefer shooting with a tripod 99% of the time, if I can, so it always pays to find out beforehand, what the rules are! I hope you're feeling better!

This thread just goes on forever. It is a superb image of a magical place. I wish I had gotten down on the ground whe u was there. A moment of embarrassment, maybe, but years of satisfaction of an image well done and so enjoyed by so many people. I am sorry to say that I am unable to go on the Phellos trip to DC next month and was hoping to meet you. Between my husbands two surgeries in this past month, and no more leave-time and my falling off one step last Sunday and breaking two toes and possibly facing surgery, I 'm out for the count. I am so glad I got to see some of your favorite haunts while I there this spring!
