Inspiring Photo: Staircase, Cancun #240650

Staircase, Cancun

Uploaded: December 05, 2003 05:23:36

Description

f/ 5.0, 1/26 sec., EB + 1/3, ISO 200, warm circular polarizer and UV filters, table top tripod mounted, 1:47pm, Playa del Carmen, Mexico. This just screamed to me as it walked up and down the stairs to my hotel room. I took twice, the morning sessions the sun was to blaring so I did it again after noon.

Thanks Pat, Colleen, Brinn, Karen and Susan! I appreciate it. Note: I did not do much processing with this one it is prettyh much out of the camera except a smidge brighter. I was considering making perspective corrections and I didn't because I did not want to lose any of the windows. Thanks again, RoB #290066
