 The staircase up a scale-model lighthouse in a playpark at the waterfront in Wellington.

I walk by this park every day on the way to work. I noticed the stairs one day when I worked late and went home in the dark. And I've been waiting for a challenge suitable for it since...

Captured Raw, I used Adobe Camera Raw to bring the file into Photoschop CS2 where I cropped and added adjustment layers for levels and curves.

Just available light. I shot Raw and bracketed exposure to get the best one.

I didn't expect this one to do as well as it did... I had my doubts when I posted it. I had another shot on the Chemistry theme which I much preferred, but it was just a snapshot. This one was the result of a special trip at night on a cold night so I posted it in honour of the effort!!

I see one generous person gave me a 10! Thank you whoever you are, I'd like to shake your hand!
