Linnton Stairs

One of the spots with stairs up to the sidewalk, this is one of the spots where it's not terribly high.

Top of the stairs:



More stairs:



I am trying to find ways to vary my staircase shots without doing weird angles and stuff. I need to do all the stairs, but I also need more top tier stairs pics and variety. On tumblr, in the top pictures of staircases, they are mostly used as a framing device rather then being the primary subject. I am looking out for a shot like that, but I don't know if I can find one here.



I am messing around with using a model during my shots:



He was pretty hard to work with, though:









Stairs being eaten by Forest Park:







This one was a bit spicy. A picture with my foot being forward and maybe also with my main camera might have been a good shot, but this was steep and had fall out of use completely. The layers of dead plant matter meant I had no traction. I didn't feel okay taking the shot I was really looking for here. I went back down very slowly and carefully:




I think my stair-step count for that day was about 750.

I was very careful I promise. No picture is worth no longer being able to take pictures. I will not be revisiting that one in the rain
