Under the Arches

Part of the elaborate open dome that served as a porte cochere for Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Railroad Station. Although the station has now been repurposed, this graceful terra cotta extravagance has been preserved. Thanks for looking!

Thanks for your appreciation! On my laptop, there is some texture in the highlights, but not a lot. But with information on the negative, I think I can burn it into a print. To some extent, it is a function of the subject - it needs bright light reflecting from the pavement to illuminate the underside of the big dome, and I chose to expose for shadow detail. I feel more confident about analog printing than scanning at this point, but I'm going to take a Photoshop course to develop more savvy in how to get better scans.
