great difference in light inten-
sity from the beginning to the
end Of the pattern.
AS you view the scene, your
eyes partially compensate for
this difference, so that the dark
areas brighten as your eyes ad-
just to the variation. The lens on
your camera cannot do this, how
ever. A photograph of the same
scene will show excessively
bright or excessively dark areas,
depending on the exposure. In
either case, the symmetry of the
total pattern will have been de-
stroyed by the light inbalance.
In making a stairwell shot
such as the one above, dramatic
lighting of the various floor
levels is quite easy. since flood
lamps or fiashlamps may be
concealed against the walls of
the hall or inside rooms on vari-
Gus floors and the light thrown
into the stairwell as desired.
Open-shutter flash technique
is useful here. If you have suit
able multiple extension flash
units, the lighting job will be
even easier.
Another thing to remember
in setting up a photo like this,
see that you have a film sup
port for your camera. Chances
are, you'll be taking either a
time exposure in existing light
or multiple exposures with
floods or flash. In either case, a
sturdy tripod will save the day.
