Round 5 - Lighthouse Stairs

I had to set the camera on the ground and eyeball the alignment of the center of the tower after metering off the upper stairs to get the light that I wanted. I tried to block some of the light entering from the open door to keep the range of light levels down a bit.

During printing, I used a 1.5" diameter disc to dodge the center of the image in expanding circles to lighten it up a bit. The work print is very dark in the upper parts of the tower. Dodging time was about %25 in the very center and less the further out you get.

This is the print I chose for the Round 5 postcard exchange so I moved it here so it is not duplicated. The actual postcard has a 1/4" white border but other than that, they look pretty much just like this.
