Assignment 21: Unique Perspective WINNER: freelanceshots

[freelanceshots]

Thanks for the compliment and the rotunda lighting was all natural. I'm almost positive that I used three exposures a piece for the up and down view as it is a true 180 plus degree view. I shot a spherical 360 x 180 panorama in there and it just did not really impress me like seeing it first hand. Thought of doing this shot because to get a scope of the actual beauty you have to see the hole in the floor and how it reaches up into the dome which is huge and looks like a majestic painting when photographed by itself. The downside of the photo is that the lens compresses it all making it look like a smaller area plus from the distortion correction a lot of the width had to be lost to the crop. I Should have considered stretching the photo length wise to make it look more accurate but I didn't do it at the time.


Here is a straight up shot of the ceiling taken with a 30D and the 17-55IS lens years before. As you can tell I like to look up at things.

Here is a pretty cool shot of a pretty normal space but it just screams someone take my picture. Its from the Peabody hotel in Little Rock.

The State Capitol here is the perfect place to capture some unique interior shots. I have taken so many photos and nobody really gets to see them so its fun to go back and share them. I don't have many followers on flickr so I don't get many page views there. Just had to wait and capture something extra to make the image more interesting and then this mother/grandmother and daughter walked up the stairs and it was the perfect time.


I'll stop posting know.
