I tried again taking some photos of the loft ceiling, this time using a long shutter speed as was suggested. I used several bales of shavings and a blanket to support the camera. I definitely think this turned out better than the previous shot I had posted. Any C&C are welcome!
Olympus SP-550 UZ
f4.5 @ 4 sec, ISO 200
Manual mode, pattern metering
Processed in PS CS2: rotated a bit to straighten, slight crop, curves adjustment, channel mixer, gradient map layer, hue/saturation layer, added a vignette with inner shadow layer style, and darkened the two upper corners
I do, too! I think it could use a bit more sharpening but that long tunnel and the light at the bottom - really a unique perspective. Well done, Christopher!
