Above: When the behind-the-scenes shot is more interesting than “the shot” you know you have a problem. From the bottom looking upĪbove: Not much better from the bottom of the well looking up, either. It may be somewhat interesting, but I don’t think it’s beautiful. I don’t know if it’s the color, or the angle or what, but this one definitely did not make the cut. This is one my friend Dave Williams (of “Tuesdays with Dave”) really wanted to shoot, and a lot of folks really love this ancient ceremonial well/staircase known as “The Masonic Initiation Wells of the Quinta da Regaleira,” but I wasn’t super digging it. It also took a lot of Photoshop work just to get to the state you see here, so maybe I’m also seeing that when I look at the shot. It’s really not that bad, but it’s also really not that great so I pulled it from the post. This one is probably the best one of the bunch, so I’m starting with it to kind of ease you into it. So, knowing all that (and that you’re about to see some total B and C-level photos), here’s goes nuthin’: A kind of out-of-the-way staircase in the Palace of Versailles, France Today, I thought I’d share some of those shots that didn’t make the cut here, as I thought it might be helpful for educational purposes to see the ones that weren’t good enough (and being able to sort the wheat from the chaff, the Bartles from the James, the Hall from the Oates, is an important part of our job as photographers). Anyway, I wrote that those were my favorites, but of course, I’ve photographed other spiral staircases, and different shots of the same ones, that didn’t make “the cut” and weren’t included in my Spark Page. Last Friday I shared an Adobe Spark Page of my favorite Spiral Staircase photos ( here’s the link in case you missed it).
