Here's what happened. I was walking down int the French Quarter of New Orleans when my eyes fixed on this fire escaped stairs. I determined to see if I could find a angle to capture its zig-zagging. Across the street I tried a few angles. Under the stairs I tried. Down the street, up the street. Then the clouds started moving across the top. I decided to try shooting it with a polarizing filter and sepia toning to get that "white cloud- dark sky effect. " This is the result. Nothing at all like I thought when I started.

I like the composition, Steve. The way you captured the building at an angle--juxtaposes well with the sky-cloud effect.
Wow, what a striking photo !
Just make sure you record how you achieved this, you could want to make more of these, it's remarkable.
What a great experiment. Nice composition. At first I thought the building was on fire. Isn't playing with the camera fun?
Hi Steve! Back to blogosphere after another busy (and annoying) week… ;)
Great shot you worked out here!! Also loved to read the Boiling Mad; great text! And the Children's Museum seems to be an incredible interesting spot!!!
Thanks for your comment at Blogtrotter, still strolling in the streets of Santiago de Compostela, now racing the famous Paris-Dakar… Enjoy and have a nice weekend!
Thanks for the behind the scene commentary while capturing the photo. Dramatic shot!
Very artistic shot, Steve. Enjoyed your description of how you took it, and the trial and error leading up to the final photo. Beautiful.
