Exposure

I watched the sunlight slowly creep up these seclusion room doors as I waited for this long exposure shot...

And well worth the wait!
Yes, very much worth it! How long a wait was this shot?
About 12 minutes.
Motts, do you ever use flash or HDR techniques?
Wow Motts.... I just learned something then. Good photographers must have a lot of patience I would think!
My goodness, this photo delivers reality and the stuff that dreams are made of.
hey motts, gotta know, what was goin through your head for those 12 minutes?
Nightmare on Elm street any one???
These seems almost musky. I feel cold inside this picture.
soo what are you guessing to be behind those doors
A study in black and white, outstanding.
Is this seclusion or something? Kind of frightening.
Cuando llega un poco de luz...
=)
I guess a flash would attract too much attenion.
I can't imagine being holed up in one of those seclusion rooms.
Exposed and secluded. Nice play on words...
are these cells unlocked/
I worked there -- behind that door was a small room, furnished with a metal bed that we would tie the patients to when they needed to be restrained. We'd actually always leave the door open when somebody was tied to the bed, and they'd be watched the entire time to make sure they didn't struggle too much or get free or manage to hurt themselves.
Yea, and you would sneer at me you SOB!
