This is a photograph taken at the National Archives in Washington DC. and it is done by a wide angle pinhole camera that is aimed at the ceiling.
This image shows how wide a pinhole camera can be; maybe the photographer admire old architectural buildings which are really nice to photograph.
I like the extreme wide angle used in this photograph and the way it is done especially the position of the camera; it goes from the bright part of the ceiling till it gets darker at the bottom, all the edges are dark compared to the center of the image; the exposure of this image isn't determined but must have been between 30 sec and 1 min.
I wish there wasn't too many columns involved in this shot especially the two centered ones that seem extremely large compared to the other columns that are present in the image.
Good critique - you appreciate the effectiveness of the wide angle pinhole camera in this shot.
ReplyDeleteThe tonality is very full compared to our pinhole images - the photographer was using film rather than photo paper.
Despite the two columns that you feel are proportionally too large - it is interesting how well composed the shot is for a pinhole camera that the photographer can't see into - not preview for the composition...
