Playfulness of light..
Another case of severe random- and mundaneness, ..it appears. I was on the way out, shooting b&w only (so I thought), and the light on the stairs asked to be photographed. So I did. 😜
Filtered in part through a curtain, with shadowplay of my plants, fractured, abstracted by the multi-level-ness of the staircase, dirt n everything. The wood of the steps is bright and yellow-ish brown by itself, but that was the time I used a yellow filter for b&w. Yes, I know, it makes absolutely no sense with digital; it was a means to make colors less distracting, assisting "seeing in black & white", and it was only a light one (classic K2, # 8) affecting most things, not just choking one color channel, so loss of light and details was not really noticeable. Shooting raw, the color information is still all there of course, even with b&w in-camera profile, so I could not resist to develop this one in color, and that is why resp. how this satisfying deep yellow in the image came about, and I tried not to interfere with it.
It's definitely not something that can't be done in postprocessing, however, I kind of like and cherish these (in my case often idio- 🍄 syncratic) details, knowing how a photo came about and that there was something physical at work, unique to that particular moment to make it the way it is. 🌈 ✨ 😋
