I got the idea when I took my mother to the hospital for an outpatient test (which went well!). As we were leaving the parking garage, I remembered it has several stairwells. That's when I got the idea to go back for the challenge. I knew I wanted to use a fisheye but also wanted to use a flash.Unfortunately I incorrectly remembered how the stairwell was designed. In my mind, I thought all of the stairwells were fully enclosed and lit by light bulbs. They aren't. As you can see in the photo, the left side was engulfed by natural light. The right side was darker. I wound up having to raise the exposure of the right side in post.But my original vision was thinking the stairwell was fully enclosed. I took a flash and a gel because I wanted to illuminate the stairwell with a red gel. I've been trying to learn more about flash and thought it would work well. But since the lighting was so uneven, one flash and one gel wasn't cutting it. I would have needed 2 flash units to balance the uneven light, 2 light stands, trigger/receivers, and 2 gels. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> Those things were at home. And I didn't think I'd have time on another day to retake the photo.Since I deleted the flash/gel images, there aren't any to show you. They weren't good by any means because of the uneven lighting. :shame: Lol. At least it was a learning experience. :encouragement:</blockquote>
