my favorite of the 3 in the series

as it seems to have more of a focal point because of the larger light tone space in the frame. Very good abstract interpretation.

Hi Bob

At first I was planning on framing all three of these, but now I don't know. Familiarity breeds contempt, yes? My favorite is a toss-up between this one and interior 1. Perhaps I will only frame one. It's just such a rarity that I have more than one picture in a roll that I even like! I'll have to go back to this building - there is so much to see. The thing that I like about this image is that it has some surface modeling that is not as apparent on the other two; in comparison they come off a bit flat.

I feel safer--in this frame, too, Jeffery.

Quite

the exposure puzzle (white subject, wide range of lighting intensity). How did you settle on a setting (or did you do what I would have, and bracket like mad)? I like it a lot, would love to see a print. --Rick

No bracketing

Hi Rick, This was an unplanned trip, and I had access to the (largely empty) building for only a half hour and with only about 20 exposures left on my roll of film. Normally I would bracket, but with so few shots available I didn't want to miss an opportunity for a fresh view because I was wasting exposures bracketing. I took exposure readings from the undersides of the overhangs, which I hoped would let the sky burn through while still providing shadow details. I guessed, in other words, and wish I would have had more film on me.-- Jeff
