f/2.8, 1/8th Second, ISO64, Fluorescent, -.3ev, mini-tripod
Beautiful bronze doors lead from an office building's lobby to a bank's lobby, late at night.
Immediately behind the open grillwork, each door has a solid glass panel; these panels reflect the office lobby's
red marble walls, giving a rose-pink hue. I shot from the floor on a mini tripod (about 10" high) for a different view.
