A Room With A View

This image is a bit different than the norm from Eastern State Penitentiary. It was taken as part of a 5 image manually bracketed exposure series that I created of one of the rooms. I liked it so much and felt it was so powerful that it really didn’t need the rest of the room exposed. At first I was going to darken the area to the right of the main light but then I felt it made you look closer and consider what else is in the scene that you can not see. I’d like to know your thoughts. If anyone has a good title for this image please feel free to share, thanks.

Above is a view from the end of the old railroad bridge at the Graffiti Underground. It’s a bit different than what you may expect to see at a place like this. I included it to give you an idea of how many different images can be created at the Graffiti Underground. I kept the early morning mood to the image by processing it in Nik Color-Efex using the Low Key filter.

    Denise, very creative eye for the first one. I think Scott nailed the title. Love the last image as well. Excellent work as always.

    Thanks so much Andrew, I appreciate it.

    Cool perspective friend. Perhaps “Room With Only A View” but your title is just fine. Everything seems to work in this image. Congrats!

    Thanks Debra, I appreciate it. Nice title :)

    Very good perspective. Appears to me like a ‘pinhole view’.

    Thank you Amal, Your input is always appreciated :)

    I have no idea of an alternative title, but I really like the way you’ve kept all the negative space in ‘A room with a view’.

    Thank you, I really do like the negative space too.
