Spiral Staircase - a photo on Flickriver

Spiral Staircase

Lighthouse, Mukilteo, WA. Going up the narrow spiraling stairwell provides an interesting photographic opportunity. The staircase is too narrow to be captured with anything other than a wide angle lens (28mm in this case). This is a rather cliche shot, but I was intrigued by the contrast of shapes and tones generated by the internal structure of the stairwell and the uneven lighting that produces that hotspot at the top of the stairs while the rest falls to darkness. There's an element of abstractness in this image too, since both sides of the steps on the stairwell look alike, the viewer is unsure at first if they are looking at the top of a stairwell looking down or the bottom of the stairwell looking up, that is until you realize there is a light bulb in the top left corner of the frame which tells you you're looking up. Nikon F100 and 28mm f/2.8D lens. Ilford HP5+ film developed to EI400 in D76 (1+1) for 13 min at 71.2 F. Exposure was 1/320 sec at f/5.6.
