Stairwell Abstract


	Stairwell Abstract F7.1, 1/8, 72mm equivalent, ISO 100, aperture priority. This is a staircase and rail at Universal Studios. I used the Xero plugin Bad Dream which provided softness and color adjustment. I found a small flaw in the first post, so I fixed it and reposted. Carol Teal

Carol, this is a really interesting handling. Wonderful lines and colors. You had excellent vision to see this and then to see what to do with it.

member since: 3/19/2006 Thank you so much Mitch! This stairwell has fascinated me since I first saw it at Universal. I love the colors of the wall and the faded look of the rail. I have taken many photos of the staircase and never been happy with the results. This time I decided to move in close. I really liked the diagonal of the rail leading upwards.

Hi John, I hope the judges enjoy it! :) I entered it in Feb. in Elements. I have taken so many photos of this stairwell. This wasn't cropped; I just decided to move in close for this one.
