Red Robin Gourmet Burgers, Flatiron Crossing, Broomfield, Colorado
(Click for larger image.) This week’s Photo Challenge is “wall,” and while technically this is a ceiling, I’m thinking of it as a wall of artwork. I was so enamored with the creativity of the idea that I performed some very awkward contortions in the booths occupying the space underneath to capture the display. Luckily, the restaurant was fairly empty.
Interestingly, this photo is NOT processed with HDR software. I used a combination of Lightroom, Nik Viveza, Nik Color Efex Pro, and Nik Efex Dfine (for noise reduction). The most difficult aspect of post-processing was the crop, as my original angle was very skewed. Lightroom Lens Correction tools came to the rescue!
As for what this wall reveals, it’s nothing earth-shattering or life-changing; rather it reflects my fascination with creativity, wherever it may be found, and my appreciation for whoever figured out the layout and spacing of this display. Having done abundant calculations of my own when creating countless displays of photographs, I know the work that went into this. Bravo for this wall – from the idea to the execution!
For another of my “wall” interpretations, visit Weekly Photo Challenge: Wall (2).

While I love the end result, I’d sure have loved to see the process of capturing the image 🙂
It’s been so long since I’ve had a moment to visit favorite blogs on WP (or even post on my own). It’s nice to be here!

You’re right Stacy, I’ve just done a wall of photos and there was so much measuring and calculating and string lines and blutac! What a cool “wall” you’ve discovered.

Hahaha, measure twice/cut once, or something akin to that, right, Desley? I was with my parents for a late lunch when I just had to get out of the booth and take this picture. They got a kick out of watching the process 🙂

I’ll bet they did. It’s tough being the photographer, twisting ourselves into strange positions! LOL.

LOL, between this and quickly pulling off the sides of roads to capture views of the Rocky Mountain foothills (I was the driver!), I think they finally realized just how crazy photography can be 😀
