Photo Title:	Ironwork
Photographer:	Ben Horne
Location of Photograph:	Balboa Park, San Diego, California
What the photographer likes about the image:	This is a photo of a metal covering over a planter in the sidewalk. The late afternoon light reflecting off of it attracted my attention. I liked the pattern.
Techniques Used:	Manually metered the scene by using spot metering off the bright areas so they were about two stops overexposed, this made sure the highlights were bright.
Things to notice:	Is it art or photography? This nearly abstract composition brings to mind the etchings of M.C. Escher. Yet you don't have to be a draftsman to create it. Careful work in an image editing program makes the image work. Concentration on exposure and framing are essential here. Note how black and white photos can be stunning.
