Look Into the Eye
Image of the San Francisco Nordstrom's spiral escalator and skylight. The store opened in 1988 but closed in 2023. I took this image a week ago and the Christmas lights were still up.
Nikon Z6 ii with Nikkor 24-200mm lens at 24mm, 1/30 sec., f/4, ISO 160. Edited with Capture One 23 Pro, rotated and cropped, boosted exposure slightly, adjusted the High Dynamic Range sliders, applied slight "S" to the RGB tonal curve, and used the Clone tool to remove some water spot stains and security cameras.
When I look into this image I imagine a giant robotic eye with it's piercing gaze seeing and analyzing the aspects of my life....and a pretty cool architectural feature to photograph.
