    The International Photography Awards just announced the winners for this year's competition, and I'm happy to see that I placed 2nd in the Architecture category, advancing from previous years' Shortlisted and Honorable Mention. It feels kind of fun since the category is mostly digital, B&W, ND filters with long shutter speed, and I shot film on an old medium format camera from the late 70s.

    I enter one or two competitions a year even though I don't really think you can compete like this in photography. I rarely enter with the photos I'm most happy with and usually take but instead try and come up with ideas that work in these type of events. But still in my kind of style. I see it more as a fun project for an image or two you could say.

    So this is my winning entry: Solna Centrum subway station, shot on a Mamiya 645 1000s with a Mamiya Sekor C 80mm f/2.8 lens and Kodak Portra 160 film.

    • Kodak porta has been kind to me over the years. I woulda cropped this in a bit, fwiw, but if u won hey that's what counts. Congrats.cherub
    • cherub, yeah don't really agree with the crop. I do feel it's a little bottom heavy though. And maybe a little too aligned to the right.haga
    • If I did do it again I would have taken another shot closer, lower and with a wider lens. Just to have another compostion to chose from.haga
    • Hmmm, maybe you're right. I should have cropped a little to the left and some of the top.haga
    • got mugged there onceArchitectofFate
    • sick!milfhunter
    • I grew up there, could have been me.haga
    • Just kidding!haga
    • ^lol haga. you seem to know too much to be an innocent bystander.. XDfuturefood
    • @haga: yea the left vertical sliver adds little, and the top contains almost no data(black). lopping a bit off the top might help a bit.cherub
    • because keep in mind in this day and age mobile is a thing. Having that center be larger and in your face is a good thing. Its quite strong.cherub
