About the Image(s)
Last December I had the opportunity to attend the Mannheim Steamroller Christmas concert at the Fox Theater in Detroit. During the intermission I found this intriguing stairway. Although the original was in color this one screamed Black and White. I used my iPhone 12 Pro MAX and took a raw DNG image.
When I returned home I stayed up processing the image in Lightroom Mobile. I used some of the black and white presets. I also made a radial selection of the wall light and reduced its brightness. I made a radial selection of the lower rail and slightly lightened it. I added sharpening and an edge darkening vignette. The edge darkening is a technique I learned from my darkroom days and Ansel Adams.

Im getting confused with this Group first we have someone who is not Dr Flip flipping a photo now we have someone else doing Guy shots.
Seriously Bill who could walk past this wonderful piece of history its gorgeous without wanting to record it,you have done a wonderful job in what must have been a very small space,there is a wonderful sweep throughout the image not only in the staircase but also the beam on the upper right.The decoration looks very Art Deco but the staircase looks earlier,for me you have 2 great images love the tones in the colour image as well so do not discount it.   Posted: 01/12/2022 15:58:27
