Blue Pinnacle
Hi Tom, nouns are a challenge, they stretch our creative capacities. OK time for your commentary. The angle you chose to capture the inside of the dome works well, it allows us to see the depth and height of the dome yet delivers a very artful presentation of this interior, theres a golden mean application in use here. Exposure is spot on, the shadows at the bottom of the dome have just enough light to show some of the ceiling structure, then the gradual increase in light levels as we ascend to the top of the dome finally reaching the blue pinnacle (thats the blue theme, right?)
So what would I do differently? To add even more interest having a person stand near the rail in the lower left or lower right would be one option. Another possibility would be to move the camera a bit more to the right, placing the blue pinnacle the in the top right portion of the frame along with the person standing by the rail, reading the constitution, wearing a white wig, dressed in clothing from the 1800s .. Really the photo is very good just the way it is, thanks for playing along
Dome over the capitol rotunda in Sacramento California, Friday night. I was attending a conference there and desperately trying to find something to fit the theme. I was determined to not go with color, but found this theme of my own choosing to be a greater challenge than I had expected.
Note to self: avoid nouns.
