Shot taken just after dawn, November 2008. Handheld, ISO 800, 1/13th, F4. No tripod on hand at the time, so I was happy with the SteadyShot on my camera. And with my Sigma 10-20mm (@10mm). Ultrawide view makes the lamp posts seem to fall over, as well as the people standing to the right. This unreal effect matches the construction of the Birds Nest itself.

Absolutely! Love how it can influence perspectives!

Wow i would love to see this place, looks great! – loving the leaning lampposts!
I saw the Birds Nest several times in daylight (cloudy weather). Looks like a strange concrete construction. But when the sun sets… Wow! The lighting releases it’s real beauty!
Thank you so much for featuring this shot!! Great news :-)

Quite an achievement for hand-held at night, and the distortion works well.
