Stairway Down the Rabbit Hole

For the pattern and texture theme this week. Stairway in our college, leading to the basement. Normally they are fairly gritty and quite unattractive. I thought it would be a good challenge to try to make them look as interesting as I could. SnapArt helped a lot.

[Jeff Walker]

Love the stylized filter on this... it came out real nice! Fav

[Richard Hickey]

Fantastic lines and textures.

[Pam Knowler]

Lovely textures! I am loving your snapart shots!

[Maggiemae]

I can imagine the actual and would have to say prefer the artistic!

[Newbank Lass]

Really like the lines, eye drawn down and down... Liking your snap art pictures.

[Tony]

Lines, texture and symmetry.

[Louise & Ken]

Oh I recognize a rabbit hole when I see one! (You're having some fun with that software!) I love the application & the way you use it...it's so free like intuitive art!

Great Editing to bring out the grungy/gritty feel, fav.

Terrific for the Pattern and Texture theme, they look really good.

The processin makes it look like a comic book drawing, Like all the lines from the railings and steps

[Penny Price]

Nice processing.

[carol white]

Great effect,super tones and perspective!!

[Hazel]

Like the processing which give the effect of a painting - nice subdued and toning colours.

[Margaret Obey]

Wonderful perspective

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Great lines and the processing gives the shot a look of a 1920s-30s storybook. I like the interpretation too - goes with the look.

[Myrna O'Hara]

Cool, this is quite neat.
I have a Tamron Lens 300-500mm and yes I usually hand hold it. Or rest it on my car window when I'm out.

[Andy Mcculloch]

Cool style.

[What's for dessert?]

Nice lines and processing!

[Taffy]

@sailingmusic I've been trying to find a tamron 300-500 online and have had no luck. I've seen a sigma or a tamron 200-500. I was trying to check out size and weight as I love your photos. Just wondering if it is an older lens, or if it has some other info that might help me find it. If not, no worries -- I'll keep hunting!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

I could easily be addicted to processing because it is so much fun matching the application with the picture. Good job here!

[KWind]

This is very cool! Love the tones and lines.

[Yorkie]

fav, really interesting and cool is the word.

[Khawbecker]

I like the effect you created here, Taffy.

[Marg Budd]

Very creative shot.

[*lynn]

Really cool... love the lines not being straight! fav

[👑 AnaZad]

Beautiful capture and composition. That SnapArt great.

[Junko Y]

You're right -- that stairway is really not photograph-worthy, but your processing makes it better than the original image!

[Angie]

Excellent capture!

[Taffy]

@jyokota You know better than anyone what a creepy spot it really is! The joys of this new processing tool -- if it can make this look good, it can do wonders!
