Stairwell Abstract
Uploaded: February 28, 2007 23:37:30
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.

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.

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.

Randy, thank you so much! I am really thrilled to be a finalist, and I thank you and everyone for the support! #4087743Mitch Spence March 23, 2007
Aw right, Carol! Good for you! And I even get to see this staircase pretty soon. #4087788Carol Teal March 23, 2007
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! #4088269Karen Slagle March 23, 2007

Thank you Nemil, Dominick and Anna for your support! I guess that railing looks very familiar to you Nemil! :) #4091565Toni Hopper March 24, 2007
good use of the filter. I hadn't tried that particular one yet. congrats! #4094119Carol Teal March 25, 2007
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!) :) #4096274Carol Teal March 26, 2007
Deborah, thank you so much! #4099704Nemil B. Chabebe March 26, 2007
Yes it does looks familiar, Uhmm I wonder where I have seen it (LOL) #4099871Carol Teal March 26, 2007
I know...it's right there on the tip of your tongue, but you just can't quite remember! :) You know, they have never put that bike back where you were lucky enough to photograph it! #4101145Shawn M. Marymee March 28, 2007
