Loving the curved lines of the staircase and the bookcases in the background. Lovely image. Well taken.

Love this wonderful image, so good in B&W.
February 20th, 2016  
I see something interesting everywhere I look! I'm especially drawn to the books in the background. After admiring the staircase, I'd head right over there and get lost for hours. :-) Fantastic capture, Taffy!
February 20th, 2016  
Love the staircase but the library shelves in the background really do add to it. fav
February 20th, 2016  
Another wonderful B&W shot, Taffy. I love all the shapes and how the picture flows.

beautiful
February 21st, 2016  
Stunning lines, curved and straight in this shot. The b&w shows the patterns of the stair treads very well. Great pov to capture the view down the stacks too. Fav.
February 21st, 2016  
Another great shot of it!
February 21st, 2016  
Such an elegant staircase from every view point! Great shot.

Lovely tones on this wide angle capture, love the composition
February 21st, 2016  
Awesome picture and perspective. Congratulations on making the Trending Page. Well deserved.
February 21st, 2016  
It weaves the books together - great composition.
February 21st, 2016  
Wonderful B&W image Taffy - so much to look at! Fab lines and curves and such clarity right though the shot. I always look at your Exif and here I must ask was this taken on a tripod? Is this HDR? Processing so natural it doesn't look HDR. If my Canon was on Iso 200 at F/7.1 I would not have got a clear shot right through to the back. Hope you don't mind me asking? Just trying to get to grips with architectural shots of which you are the master! Lol! Fav!
February 21st, 2016  
Really great shot of the staircase and I like how the bookcases recede into the distance.
February 21st, 2016  
Love the lines and curves
February 21st, 2016  
Another great shot from this amazing place.
February 21st, 2016  
Splendid staircase!
February 21st, 2016  
Excellent image with interesting lines and curves to keep interest. Works well in monochrome!
February 21st, 2016  
@pamknowler Thanks for the kind words, as always! For this one, I think it was on the tripod as we had permission to use those throughout. But with my 14-24, it is such an amazing lens with good stabilization that if I support myself in any way (leaning on a desk here, for example), it could have been handheld. I can do handheld with it down to 1/10. This one also was HDR, but processed in Nik to not look like HDR - to go as naturally as possible, and using HDR largely to sort out the range of lighting (stacks versus sunlight streaming in from the window above and to the right).
February 21st, 2016  
@taffy Thanks for the info Taffy that makes it much clearer. I am liking your natural processing of HDR very much!!
February 21st, 2016  
This angle is great love the juxtaposition of the curve of the staircase against all of the vertical lines.
February 22nd, 2016  
Luscious
February 22nd, 2016  
Tremendous composition and choice of making this b/w! FAV!
February 22nd, 2016
