Good Night

I'm off to sleep, after much forum activity.
Thank God my bedroom doesn't look like this

You'll be having nightmares if it does

They might have amazing spiders there Alan?

I really like it Nathan although what is that on the right side, it looks like coloured glass?

Amazing.
Painting like.

Lovely and atmospheric!

The only thing I would say is to rotate it ever so slightly clockwise.

What ISO is this at Nathan?

Great picture, but just skewed enough to be slightly annoying, which distracts from the content, in my eyes.
But perhaps thats the intention in order to give the place an "edgy" atmosphere....

I thought so too, a deliberate choice and one that I think has worked very well, either that or Nathan needs glasses

Yup! looks like a stained glass window and I think it pulls the eye from the rest of the shot, theres a bit on the left side too but not as noticable, I would have cloned it out and just had darkness between the columns, Nathan has put this across as a spooky image but the glass easilly disinguishes the building as an intact church or cathedral, which detracts (in my opinion) from the spookyness, if that makes sense

It looks like 3 persons standing on a balustrade under a bright light, rather than a window.

LOL

Thank you all for your comments!

Some of you are actually wrong in your judgement

The photograph might still not be perfectly level, but what is tricking your view is the first non-horizontal bar at the top of the photograph. I knew it was going to raise comments, but looking at the bridge at the far end, its a very debatable situation. Also, being under the ground level, the only measure would be the water (the columns are very irregular) - so might still be a bit bent ... but who cares!!!

THere is also absolutely no stained glass in the photograph. This is the Istanbul Cistern - built in 532 - it is REALLY an incredibly spooky place.

Not only, but its incredibly difficult to photograph, because its wet (thanks pentax) very very dark, with the only illumination being the red beams on the column's base, and 1 or 2 lamp posts on the walkable paths. What looks like reflections on the sides, are not glass, but surely 3 people under a lamp post on one of the diagonal paths...

THank you for your comments,
Nathan

EDIT: forgot to say - K10, ISO 800 DA*16-50

And just to grace you all with my magnificent art...



This was shot with the 10-17 - 2 Sec. exposure - ISO800 -

THis was specifically shot to show the reflection of the colums and arches in the water, and the bottom of the Cistern.

I knew I was wrong

Goshh this is really some impressive effect Nathan
