Day 356 of 365
Have you ever seen something again and again and tell yourself you need to photograph it but never get around to doing it? Well today I finally photographed something I've seen just about everyday for the past 6 months, since moving into a new building at work. There is a back stairwell down to the ground floor that has windows that don't completely fill the window frame, so there are gaps between the concrete bricks and the glass. When the sun hits the edges of the glass it creates a thin rainbow affect on the wall on all three floors. I've wanted to see how it would look photographed for quite some time. The added bonus is the crisscrossed wire frame created a shadow in the rainbow...I thought of it as a caged rainbow.
So I finally photographed it...don't much like it. Oh well...at least I can check it off my list.
Here's another photography resource I'd like to highlight today. PhotographyBB is a free online magazine (download as a .pdf) and has a nice community in it's forum. Here's a press release (link) that tells you far more about what they are about than I could do.

Did you try multiple exposures? It looks a little underexposed, maybe it would have come out better? (I'm just thinking, what a shame!! because.. I've had these things too, sometimes you just see something so beautiful that the camera won't ever capture the way you see it.. frustrating isn't it?? Usually it's a point of view thing with me, can't get the right framing, your eyes can just forget about a lot of stuff.. or it's a contrast problem and I should be making hdr's.. or it won't even capture the essence of something in the dark with a tripod.. or whatever, stuff like that.. *sigh*)
