I know, I know, stairway shots are a dime a dozen. This time I tried doing one with a lensbaby Sweet 35 optic attached to my K-3 to give it a more ethereal look. I reckon this boosts the value to 25 cents per dozen.

Almost expecting something scary to crest that top stair at any moment! Creepy good work, rfaucher

stairway shots may be a dime a dozen....but they are not easy to get right.......the dark window at the top does a good job of drawing the eye in....What is a lensbaby 35?

Thanks Phoenixvision. A lensbaby is a selective focus pseudo tilt-shift lens. The unblurred spot is selected by manually tilting the lens to the subject and the degree of blur varies according to aperture. The smaller the aperture, the less the blur. There's more on this at Lensbaby.com - Home

Thanks for the information.....I'm off to explore that now!

That is certainly a cool effect. I think haunted stairwells are quite rare!
