Hallway of Doorways

It simple, yet strong - I really like this and would like to see the print in person. Two things though; it could be my eyes, but it seems that the floor is slanted just a bit to the left, and there seems to be just a bit more wall on the right than the left. Nit-picky, I know, but in a shot like this, every little thing stands out. Smokin'.

I was very deliberate in my camera height, to push the perspectives as

far back as possible, down the center line for a balanced harmony of

the shapes and lines. Any lower, the far doorway goes too high, and

any higher, the scale would be off. I had to use the trick of closing

one eye when lining it up to remove any stereo depth that our minds

calculate. Seeing with only one eye, is how the camera would see the

depth. (thank you Ansel! ;) )

I agree with the tilt but I think it would be an easy fix. That aside, awesome image!

I agree too... there is some tilt. However, I don't think you really need to do anything to it. Walls are very seldom perfectly plumb. I kinda like it the way it is.

 

Outstanding!

good job and thanks for passing on ansel's tips ... we'll all be winking at the world! i sharn't harp on about a tilt because I like it as it is! great.

thank you all! the camera was dead straight. that wall on the left, and the floor are tilted. I tried to straighten it, but it became an 'idiot bolt' that kept spinning on both ends.. To straighten one line, sent the others out of wack.

 

In then end, I kept it the way it was in camera.. it had the most life that way :)

 

 

thanks again!

 

 

I shot the same view a while back but I much prefer yours. My perspective was from the floor and I did not correct for skew. Yours is more balanced and pleasing to the eye. Nice work.

Fantastic shot, Joel !

Beautifully seen and executed.

Great image. Well planned and executed. Tones would make Ansel smile.
