Arches and Stairs

Arches and Stairs
Balboa Park, San Diego, CA
November, 2010

Being able to spend a lot of time in Balboa Park is quite a blessing to a photographer.  The Spanish architecture is beautiful, and the park is filled with nooks and crannies one can explore almost endlessly.

I liked to way the afternoon sun cast strong shadows beneath these arches, and illuminated the ironwork and treads of the stairs.  I took three exposures of this scene, trying to get the composition right while waiting for other park patrons to pass through the scene.  I'm quite happy with the compositional balance of this one.
