Sunlit Stairs



Nikon D100, Tokina 17mm

Back to the Japantown series...

This inside stairway was lit by a skylight in the Kinokuniya Building.

This is a very interesting photo. I like the angle you were able to get on this set of stairs. It just seems a tad too dark, but I don't know if monitor settings are involved here.

I like it.

I was wondering if someone was going to say that it's too dark. :)

Actually, I wanted to accentuate the bright handrails and stairs, and let everything else fade into black, but I guess that can also be interpreted as being too dark.

I had a version that was lighter, but it wasn't as interesting.

I wonder if there's a better way to handle this. Anyone have any ideas?

Eric, I lightened it just a tad, is it little better now?

Yes, that looks better.There's more of a fade to black effect now.

It's quite a beautiful photo, Warren!

The shapes are magnificent (sort of reminds me of a big musical note.) Also, a nice balance between the deep shadows and the strong highlights on the stairway.
