Up Shot

This is the view looking up a stairwell at the Idaho State Capitol building. I like the repeating and converging lines and shapes in this image.

Viewing so many amazing photographs on this site has made me more aware of perspective. I'm trying very hard to find different and more interesting viewpoints wherever I am. Pre-365, I probably would have just walked up the stairs, but now I remembered to stop and look up!

Very cool. I love the lines and lights.

Wow - very neat - at first glance I thought the shot was through a mirror and then realized it is up over the balconies towards the ceiling. What a beautiful State Capitol building you have!

Beautiful lines, pov, tones, and colors another illusion because of angle at which taken : brilliant!

Fantastic POV again and love the lines. Gorgeous work.

Wonderful! The levels of lights are really intersting, such a neat perspective.

This is a beauty. My eye goes around the curves as it follows this composition up and up.

Excellent shot Lisa! I know prior to 365 I had not paid much attention to things low to the ground. I've enjoyed how this project has expanded the things I see. Once again, fantastic image!

Fantastic pov! What a beautiful shot!
January 23rd, 2013  
you really nailed to capture the repeating pattern!

Amazing composition Lisa and love the window at the top

@jankoos Thank you, Jan! It is a really pretty building. We don't have many like it - or at least that come to mind for me. I will definitely go back to try other shots in the future.

@rvwalker Thank you, Ross. That's what I liked about it, too. My eyes wander around trying to organize the space. Keeps it interesting that way.

Fantastic perspective Lisa! I went over to our county court house and it was so dimly lit it was hard to hand hold the camera with out turning the ISO up or using flash which I don't like to do.

What a beautiful state building! Lovely POV and capture you've done here. Very nice.
January 23rd, 2013  
The lines, straight and curved, and shapes are terrific Lisa. And the pillar leads you up and into the image. Tricky one to get the exposure right but you've made a super job :)

Love the perspective. 365 does make you see things from a different view.
January 24th, 2013  
What a cool shot! A fantastic angle and POV!
January 24th, 2013  
Great pov.

Pam
Yes! Wonderful lines, and perspective!!

@skipt07 Thank you, Skip! I ended up turning up the ISO, too. Probably would not be worth enlarging, but I prefer to avoid the flash, too. Congrats on your PP!

@annethomson Thank you so much, Anne! I'm glad you liked the shot, too. There are lots of lines and wonky angles for sure. I was concerned that it was perhaps too busy, but like it because of that.

I like how you've composed this, lining up the corners. Nicely done!
