The church steps in the snow are especially pleasing.
I like that one too.
Love these! Rarely see a series on steps!
For whatever reason I’ve photographed a lot of them.
In his world we wait
In his hands our fate
Keep on climbing
We shall see his gate
In good time
All those stairs reminded me of a Bruce Cockburn song
Unfortunately, none of these steps take you to that particular gate.
The ones by the electric tower would also look good in B&W. In fact since these images are essentially about shape, you could do them all in a high contrast monochrome and make a themed artistic series.
That’s true. I ought to try a b/w conversion on that one in particular.
Funny, I was just perusing a set of granite steps on the side of my colonial era office yesterday. There are at least 10 steps leading up to the building’s side entrance, leading to a granite stoop. At different times of day the shadows from the metal grates leave interesting compositions. I have photographed it several times over the years, probably not enough…..
I love subjects like that, ones you can keep photographing in new and interesting ways.
Well done! I love these compositions. Now you have inspired me to look for steps and shadows. We tend to have more wood steps here in MS.
I am inspired by Katie Yang’s compositions — it led me to create a series of these. More to come!
