Challenge: Beauty In The Everyday II (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-550D Rebel T2i
Lens: Tamron AF 18-270mm F/3,5-6,3 Di II VC LD Aspherical [IF] macro for Canon
Location: Cornwall United Methodist Church
Date: Mar 8, 2013
Aperture: 4.5
ISO: 800
Shutter: 1/25
Date Uploaded: Mar 10, 2013

 Have always been captivated by the circular staircase up to the bell tower of our 1800's church. This to me is beauty in the ordinary. Shot it in manual mode with my Canon T2i at 1/25 @ f4.5 ISO 800 focal length of 18mm with my 18-270 Tamron lens. Tweeked lighting and contrast slightly in Lightroom. First try with 200 ISO not sharp enough...1600 too much noise. Settled on 800. Hard to get the tripod set correctly on circular steps shooting at that angle but managed after a bit of trial & error.

Nice perspective to really bring out the shapes here.

"No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." -- John Donne

I'm a sucker for stair and these are nicely unusual - great lines, light and tones. Top 10 for me. Voted earlier; back to comment.
