Mystic Staircase

Uploaded: May 28, 2005

Description

This started as a Provia 100 slide which was taken at the U of MD Clarice Center for the Performing Arts with a Sigma 28-135mm lens at F22, exposure unrecorded. I used Photoshop Elements 1.0 to clone a corner free of a distracting wall, then applied Radial Blur, and used the Healing Brush to restore the railings.
