#project365 [day 84] Down the corridor, at the NYPL
This is my last image from the inside of the Stephen A. Schwarzian Building, the epicenter of the New York Public Library. I just loved the paneling work of the ceiling of this corridor, showing it proved a bit more complex than what I had expected. Shooting into a dark corridor that has a strong natural light source at the end is never simple. And this was one of the busiest corridors in the building, since at the end you could find the ladies washrooms. So I decided to point my lens more upward, and get the nice stone arch to frame the ceiling, and waited until there was only enough people in the scene to give it some idea of dimensions but not to become a distraction. And of course using exposure bracketing to get enough information in the shadows and highlights for post processing.
