Spring Break—No. 7





Before I leave my “Spring Break” photos, I thought I would show one more photograph of the Library of Congress. In this photograph, I wanted to show off the detail work in the marble staircase along with all the different lines formed by the staircase, pillars and ceiling.
If you go to Washington, D.C. make sure you put the Library of Congress on your “to see list.”
Enjoy 
Camera settings:  Nikon D4, 28-300mm f/3.5~5.6 at 28mm, ISO 2000, f/11 at 1/15th of a second with my camera supported by pillar in the lobby. 
Post Processing: 
Lightroom 4—applied Nikon Vivid preset during import, set white and black points and added clarity, sharpness and vibrance and used adjustment brush to increase exposure and decrease shadows on staircase.

  1. I like this one too. Again, all the angles and lines running through the photo gives your eye plenty to look at and admire. I do like the closer look at the detail.

  2. It is small, but I love the addition of the two people. It give the coldness of the marble a human touch. Good perspective.

  3. I did not realize that the Library of Congress is such a beautiful building. It looks like some of the buildings I saw in Rome.
