Friday Afternoon in the Library by taffy

Friday Afternoon in the Library

From my photowalk with Andie and Junko -- we were all lined up with our tripods trying to capture this amazing library which led into a chapel beyond. The floor was so shiny it reflected all the lights -- both ceiling bulbs and the sun streaming in from the side.
Here's Junko's shot, in color and from the other end: http://365project.org/jyokota/365/2016-02-13
And Andie's capture of one of the study nooks: http://365project.org/ukandie1/365/2016-02-12
@jyokota and @ukandie1 -- let me know when you post and I'll link. Fun afternoon!!!

Great lines, repetition and reflections. It's quite an imposing space. I like the black and white, allows your eye to follow the lines through to the door in the background without distraction.

That floor is mesmerizing

Shinalicious! Love the clarity and crisp focus. Fav

What an extraordinary library. So much floor-space, so little shelf-space. The alcove look very like carrels, is this library for post-grads? Love the shot, it all looks so polished and shiny - and noisy if filled with students. The arches and low-hanging lights are gorgeously old-fashioned. Fascinating image.

I thing the light reflections on the floor give it a feeling of depth
February 13th, 2016  
Such a classic! Beautiful and elegant. I get a feeling though it is tilted a bit towards the left side.
February 13th, 2016  
Ooh this is wonderful Taffy. With that floor it simply has to be b&w. Love the symmetry and the reflections on the floor.
February 13th, 2016  
Love the mesmerizing effect of the floor as it disappears into the distance. None of my shots had that.
February 13th, 2016  
Awesome light and reflections. With the checkered floor, it almost looks like an Escher painting!

@ukandie1 Thanks! This is where my 14mm comes in so handy. It was a superwide capture and then I did a perspective adjustment in LR.
February 14th, 2016  
Lovely clean shot.
February 14th, 2016  
The cool look of the floor is wonderful. There is a name for the effect but my senile mind cannot retrieve it right now and too lazy to google.
February 14th, 2016  
Great lines and repetitions! Beautiful shot :)
