Description

This is a small light fixture, embedded in the concrete wall of a museum stairway. I strongly exaggerated the existing surface finish of the concrete,
and liked the resulting "subterranean" texture feel, as if the light fixture were set into a stone or earthen wall.

Exif: F Number: 4, Exposure Bias Value: -0.33, ExposureTime: 1/1250 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 75.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 7D

Thanks; I really like how "grungy" it became (without adding a texture layer) just by tweaking in PS... it was a very smooth concrete wall! #10514909
