Old Prison Museum


I went to this place with the primary mission of capturing a long cell block perspective shot like this. I took several but really like the way the light plays through the windows in this particular shot. This was taken with Canon 50D camera ans Sigma 18-250mm DC OS HSM lens. f/6.3, ISO-400 for 1/20sec exposure and sunlight white balance. I used a vanguard Traker II tripod set about 24" off floor to gain good viewpoint along first floor cell block. Three levels of cells means multiple levels of windows that allowed great natural light to shine in and dance along the floor. When converted to B&W in post editing this picture took on a entirely different feel and I really like the effect.
