Wow!! W-o-n-d-e-r-f-u-l shot. All of your pics are great, but this one is really excellent. Congrats.
Posted by Jules at February 8, 2006 04:21 AMThis reminds me of the dojo in "The Matrix"... ;) An industrial dojo ! Great photo !
Posted by Lorhkan at February 8, 2006 04:23 AMCompletely in awe of this shot. That is one powerful shaft of light! Brilliantly composed. Really really well exposed.
Posted by Dean Sherwood at February 8, 2006 04:32 AMThe description for this ray is impressionable.
I like it.
what camra did you use for this picture?
the ray of light is excellent. yeah, it's like a scene from Indiana Jones :)
Posted by Eric at February 8, 2006 05:17 AMbelle photo.
Exactement ça, "Indiana Jones et les aventuriers de l'arche perdue" in french.
;-)
Posted by jordane at February 8, 2006 05:25 AMGreat photo......back on track. In my opinion it is images like this that make DDOI consistently the top photo blog out there...or thereabouts. Great stuff Sam.

Wow - Very nice b/w. The Indiana Jones reference is very obvious.:)
I think the hard contrast works very well with the whole scene.
Nice work!
This is a very nice image. The burnout of the highlights gives it that lovely celestial glow, and helps pick out all that great detail in the rear wall brickwork. Very nice work!
Posted by Tim at February 8, 2006 06:56 AMGreat timing
Posted by Sean Galbraith at February 8, 2006 07:42 AMSuperb photo!
This justifies why I envy your talent.
Composition is excellent. Obviously the light-ray makes the photo, but I also love how you use the lines on the ground to construct symmetry and depth. Nothing is casual, but everything looks natural.
Please, more stuff like this!
Crazy light beam! Did you also watch someone get beamed-up or vaporized? Any casualties?? Hey, was this building built by the Mayan people? What it the equinox?? ;) Great shot. Really beautiful.
Posted by Dan :: genestho.ca at February 8, 2006 08:47 AMWow, definitely. It's in the building buried under the sand! ... They're digging in the wrong place!
Posted by Ethan at February 8, 2006 08:51 AMStunning, excellent B&W processing.
Posted by deceptive at February 8, 2006 08:59 AMI love the Brickworks series. I think I preffered them in colour though. They seem to loose some texture or depth or atmosphere. Still a great shot!
cheers
Haven't seen this place in a while. Every one of them has been great. It's nice to see it again. Wonderful light ray. And of course great texture on the brick.
Posted by Nate at February 8, 2006 09:03 AMOh yess lol I think too , I have seen the movie really funny
Posted by cams at February 8, 2006 09:26 AMAwesome shot. You have great details in the shadows and even through the sunbeam. How did you meter this exposure?
Posted by Micki in Virginia at February 8, 2006 09:46 AMAnother fantasic shot. It's a shame the brickworks are gonna be demolished soon because there's some amazing scenes in there.
Posted by Graham at February 8, 2006 11:50 AMGreat tones and range Sam!
Posted by miles at February 8, 2006 12:07 PMVery cool, there's movement even though I know everything must have been still.
Posted by Matthew Greco at February 8, 2006 12:31 PMAnother great one! You always do a great job with texture; this time you've (of course) done that, and added great lighting control to it. I don't know how you managed to maintain the amount of shadow detail you did, but - great work! Thanks for your site - it's my "daily dose of inspiration".
Posted by alborak at February 8, 2006 01:34 PMimpeccable, excellent tone !
Posted by Idoru at February 8, 2006 02:23 PMwoah, great shot!
Posted by de at February 8, 2006 02:38 PMgood shot
Posted by pooyan at February 8, 2006 02:42 PMwow this is a great photo...the light is so distinct.
Posted by lisa at February 8, 2006 03:33 PMThe Brickworks is such a photogenic place.
Great light, mood and post-processing.
Excellent rendition of tones and excellent texture. I like this one a lot.
Posted by jbuhler at February 8, 2006 07:33 PMWow!
The sunlight looks like a laser beam.
Very nice composition. It's a great idea to shoot this photo B&W since you can concentrate on the light beam and make it more distinct in the picture. Even if you are using the same technique and take the photo in Colour mode, I believe this light beam will lose it's glaring effect. Good work! Keep it up!
Posted by Kavid at February 8, 2006 09:53 PMDefinitely looks like something dramatic is about to happen. :) Love how the details are preserved in greatest clarity.
Posted by PlasticTV at February 8, 2006 10:01 PMThis is an amazing shot. And I agree...it looks like the "Staff of Ra" would come in handy here!
Posted by D MacIntyre at February 8, 2006 10:21 PMThis is the one Sam. I've been wanting to order one of your pictures and was just waiting to decide on which. This one speaks to me. I love the ceiling.
Francine
One of your best I have to say. I agree with your Indiana Jones reference as well. Waiting for that big stone to start rolling by any second now. Excellent!
Posted by Eric at Paris Daily Photo at February 9, 2006 01:00 AM6 seconds of light, great stuff! I love the tones and the lines! Congrats!
Posted by Manuel (SF Daily Photo) at February 9, 2006 03:21 AMwonderful lighting, very well controlled exposure.. great work!
Posted by jxiong at February 9, 2006 08:36 AMwonderful shot, I love it, it reminds me of Edward Scissorhands
Posted by Tobey at February 13, 2006 10:18 PMWOW!!!
moving........
The blog guy at the Globe & Mail mentioned your site to me...he was right, you've very talented. I love this shot in particular!
:)
Posted by T Wood at February 15, 2006 02:14 PMYes!
Posted by Eric Hancock at February 16, 2006 09:32 PMAmazing light, absolutely. But I love the brick and steel in b&w as well!
Posted by Abe at February 17, 2006 05:21 AMThe care you take in your photo taking and image making is inspirational.
Posted by BW at February 21, 2006 10:11 PMWow you did again... Brilliant!!!
Please upload a version to flickr, so everyone can know what I know. Again very cinematic
Posted by Cave Canem at February 24, 2006 12:20 AMHi,
just needed to add my comment here about this picture. we're homeless at this point, living in a hotel in Stratford, ON, and I got your site from Blogger's homepage. I started browsing through the pictures and I have to say I'm impressed, not just astounded, but they are making an impression on me... and my wife...
thanks for sharing your art and passion!
Regards,
andre lefebvre
