Stone steps alongside waterfall in Central Park's North Woods

#Bristol, England - July 17, 2016: The historic narrow alleyways of Christmas Steps in central Bristol.

Steps in many directions inside Tower Bridge

On the second visit we found the last steps of the Kumano Kodo trail running down the side of the shrine.

(can you tell what kind of sandals I was wearing most of the time in SF?)

Loved the reflection in the window of these real nice steps.

Taking photos of the steps gave me a good excuse to stop and take a minute long break

Photographed in upstate New York with natural light only. This scene works because of directional autumn light filtering through the canopy and landing in a clean diagonal across the dirt floor. That shadow line pulls the viewer straight toward the broken steps and the frame-within-a-frame doorway beyond.

To keep the atmosphere intact, I exposed for the highlights hitting the stone walls, letting the shadows deepen naturally. Shooting slightly stopped down preserves edge detail in the ruin, while the warm fall color balances the cool, weathered stone. No artificial light - just waiting for the sun to hit the gap at the right angle.

• Expose for the brightest stone surfaces to avoid losing texture.

• Mid apertures (around f/5.6–f/8) keep architectural details sharp.

• Look for light gaps in the trees - autumn sun is low and directional.

• Use natural leading lines (shadows, stairs, openings) to guide composition.

Steps down towards the Caldera, Oia, Santorini, Greece

6 inches thick, 14-18 inches front to back, and 3 feet long

These steps led to the train station just off to the right of the photo. The buildings here hang off the edge of the retaining wall, are supported by some metal brackets and are quite narrow. Home sweet home.

The sun was just beginning to fully emerge. The light was making shadowy designs and patters through the rails and wall that overlooked the steps. This staircase is in White River State Park, where the 2007 Heart Walk was held.

Steps become seawall along Oriental Bay

I've seen such steps in walls before, but not as high as these.

Seen in one of the yard areas of Home Farm.

If you go up these steps, you'll only have to come back down them.

But notice how well trodden they are.
