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.

Mitch Spence Contact Mitch Mitch's Premium Gallery member since: 3/16/2004 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. 2/28/2007 1:39:09 PM Carol Teal Contact Carol Carol's Premium Gallery 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. 2/28/2007 3:03:20 PM Janine Russell Contact Janine Janine's Premium Gallery member since: 6/22/2005 Carol, great colors, composition and lighting. 2/28/2007 7:40:03 PM Colette M. Metcalf Contact Colette Colette's Premium Gallery member since: 4/29/2003 Nice image, Carol!! 2/28/2007 7:47:42 PM Carol Teal Contact Carol Carol's Premium Gallery member since: 3/19/2006 Thank you so much Janine and Colette for your kind comments!

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.

Thank you Mitch and yes, you do! Don't be afraid to explore if you have the time; we actually went up this staircase and looked around. There were doors leading out to a balcony where you could watch everyone walking along. There is so much to see there! I guess Saturday we will be photo-taking before the concert because Justin fractured his arm Wed. so he can't get his splint wet (they will cast it on Monday) or ride the rides!

Thank you so much Toni! I used it sparingly on this photo, but it did brighten the color of the wall. The filter is fun to try, although it can result in some strange photos (guess that is why it's called Bad Dream!) :)
