    Thank you. I saw this yesterday on SM:

    The Lincoln Memorial statue was designed by American sculptor Daniel Chester French and carved from marble by the Piccirilli Brothers—⚡six Italian #immigrants Sources indicate the carving took about 4 years (c. 1916–1920).

    Captured with the Rodenstock 90mm/5.6 HR Digaron (@ f/7.1) and the PhaseOne IQ4-150 “Achromatic” back. 12mm of vertical shift kept the geometry in line. The sharp lens and achromatic back reveal a lot of detail zoomed in at full resolution (full res is downloadable on flickr).

    This is a very simple composition, the frame filled with the Memorial from roughly the perspective shown on the $5 bill. The National Parks Service does a superb job lighting the site.
