Challenge: Free Study 2011-11 (Advanced Editing VII)
Collection: 2011
Camera: Canon EOS-5D Mark II
Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4.0L IS
Date: Nov 11, 2011
Aperture: F7.1
ISO: 25600
Shutter: 1/15
Date Uploaded: Nov 27, 2011

 "heaven's waiting room" by vlado (see below) is my pick for a title.

answering questions about how this was done - nothing too special. The main thing is that the scene was very contrasty to begin with. Overexposure using both very high ISO (25600) and long exposure (1/15s) then adding some contrast in post did the rest. Shot handheld.

I quite like this. Has a feeling of heaven's waiting room. The longer I sit here, looking at it, the more I like it... it's very captivating. Well done on creating an image that has truly capture me.

Its nice to see bold experimentation, I think the over exposure here has worked well, I like the way the escalator disappear into the ether and in the foreground the way detail only begins to emerge towards the edges but you have kept detail in the all important people. A great experiment that I hope does well for you
