The new Birmingham library.
45 seconds at f16, ISO 100 with the Fuji X100 and a B+W 10 Stop ND filter.

I did get a few odd looks from passersby, security guard and a large number of police when setting up for this shot due to them putting up the barricades and security measure for the Conservative Party Conference at the NIA building next door.
