Stairway

Stairway

I liked the lines and textures on this abandoned artillery emplacement. I was using Tri-X film and my Nikon FM3a. I enjoy using the film camera … it slows me down and makes me think about the photos I’m taking. By the time I get done with the film and processing costs, it’s a dollar every time I push the shutter. Nothing like using the digital camera and thoughtlessly clicking away. I find that when I got back to one of my digital cameras, the habit of thoughtfulness carries over (for a while).

When I took this image into the Lightroom Development Module and was cropping, I REALLY struggled trying to square it up. But when I stepped back a moment, I realized that there just wasn’t anything I could adjust to make everything square. It reflects the old building just the way it was … crooked stairs and all. Sometimes reality just isn’t squared up. This was shot with a Nikon F6 on Kodak Tri-X … so black and white film … so the grain in the image reflects the film grain.
