|  | | | These where taken about a month ago. I haven't gotten out much and probably wont be getting out for a least another month or so so I've been trying new ways to edit. I just got lightroom and so far I think it's more useful for portrait shoots than this kind of stuff but I'm having fun with it. What do you think? Tear them apart.

Maybe one of the experts will offer some suggestions on spiral staircase composition.
Excellent color, DOF, and overall tone in 2-4. They really capture the mood of the site.
Sorry. I can't find anything else to complain about. They're good shots.
Post bad pictures. That worked for me ;)

| | | | I got into tone mapping, but like HDR it is not all that hot on here, I like it though. I think #1 is good, but that tone mapping would have brought out more detail and texture.
I like them all but #3, the DOF kind takes away using the curtain target. I would have liked to see more of the frame in that shot. But that is just me. Still not bad.

| | | | Thank you UrbexNY and Ghostofthelens. I went through an hdr and tone mapping phase but I'm pretty much over that now and only use it if the lighting really calls for it. But here's a different view of the staircase. As for the curtain shot, just trying to shoot something that's been shot a million times a little differently but the more I look at it the more I think it's pretty boring.

| | | | I wonder how that spiral staircase would look from that angle if lit by remote triggered flash(s) from up above the first step just out of the frame; overpowering the ambient light. Might make for some interesting shadows.
(Yep. Strobe phase...)

I bet that would be beautiful. I might have to start a strobe phase soon.

| | | | Loving the minimalistic take, the second one is my favorite just wish it was a bit more lighter and slightly more contrast. Otherwise I think you're doing a good job my dear!
it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring.

| | | | I think the first one is an interesting perspective on a staircase. My eyes land on the white horizontal line at the top and the gradient brings my eye down. The others have a nice look to them, they just need more subject matter. You seem to like textures a lot so maybe focus in on them with a little abstraction.

Thanks! I do have a thing for textures lately but I also feel like my compositions have become a bit on the boring side. I need to start thinking more abstract I guess.

Agreed. Just lighten up that one a little bit, and it would be a very good photo. Nonetheless I like it as is.

| | | | One and three dont have much to look at, they aren't bad though, just not great.
Two and four however - I love these, I actually wouldn't lighten two, I love the mystique of a dark shot. It's all preference I guess but I think you got it right the first time.

| | | | The second one is the only one the truly stands out to me but I really like it. The others don't have a whole lot going on that catches my eye.
