About the Image(s)
Technical: 1/125, f/13, ISO 500 at 12 mm (FF).
This is an acoustic dome in a gallery. The way the sound reflects when you stand directly beneath it in the center is quite unique. I was lying on the floor trying to get the whole circle in the frame, even with the 12mm lens. The difficulty of such picture is the symmetry. I tried…
As the subject is circle, I used the squarre format in LR, not at the shooting (which should have been better).
LR: Increased Exposition, Contrast (+33), Texture (+25), Clarity (+28). B&W auto...

I think you have seen a very interesting image and took a good picture. Is this one of those image that if you squint your eyes you will see something? lol. It has a nice kaleidoscope centre. But I think you took the image correctly and it did not need a crop and your crop has made it to tight on the main. So I thought I would show the alternative. Hope you don't mind.

Thanks Paul for your suggestion. I also like it very much, as your not only change d the crop, the process is also different (more soft and sharper). Posted: 04/13/2026 11:11:11
I love these kind of shots. It makes you think about what the subject is and makes you look closer. I prefer the crop similar to the original that Paul provided. I don't like cutting off the circle with the crop. I think the circle is part of the image. Nice shot. Amazing that even with 12 mm lens you were still this close to the subject!

Thanks Bob for your relevant comment. I cut the circle and It is better not.
It is why such group of discussion is interesting. Posted: 04/13/2026 11:15:06

Vincent, I like this abstract image. If you had not described what it is, I would never have known. You did a great job with symmetry and looking into the center gives me the impression I am moving into it. Nicely done. Posted: 04/12/2026 22:14:15
Thanks Mary Ann. We don't have to look too much in the center .... Posted: 04/13/2026 11:17:27
I join Mary Ann in admiring your image, and in not recognizing what it was, until you told us. At first glance, I thought it was a gas burner on a kitchen stove. And the monochrome version is better...very crisp focus. Posted: 04/16/2026 18:08:46
