It’s funny how one thing leads to another. I started out shooting Homer (our basset hound) at the top of our stairs. He was sitting around the corner in a way that just struck me as a wonderful composition. But he kept moving every few seconds, and the noise gets far too noticeable at higher ISOs, so I grabbed the tripod. By the time this was done, the shot was gone, and I was working my way down the stairs. As I entered the dining room, I realized how much I loved the way the light was hitting the stairwell. Originally I had intended to post it in black and white, but it actually seemed to work better as a color image. Maybe it was because the highlights were blown out too easily if I pumped up the contrast and brightness a tad.
