What is it about winding staircases that makes an image interesting?
It seems that whenever a location has a winding staircase, it's a "MUST HAVE" photo. Does it get boring? I don't think so.
Every staircase seems to have its own unique character. Add in some dynamics like color or the amount of the "wind" within the staircase and you've got a totally different image. Plus, the various angles in which the staircase can be photographed can change the entire look of a staircase. Of course, a beautiful bride and handsome groom add quite a bit to the uniqueness of an image too!
This image was photographed with a Fuji S5 Pro camera set at ISO 1000 at 1/20 second exposure (the second image was at 1/18 second) with a Tamron 17-50mm f2.8 DX lens set at 17mm with an aperture of f 2.8. No auxillary lighting was used... just the existing ambient light. The image was corrected for white balance and exposure within Adobe Lightroom and further enhanced within Adobe Photoshop CS3 with Neat Image plug-in for noise reduction.
Yeah, I like photographing staircases. Always have, always will! This one is from this past Saturday's wedding at the Hotel Indigo in Palatine, IL.
