Very interesting, Looks very homey, except no windows. Congrats Richard on POTD!

Thanks, Kathy. There is a light source above, but certainly no window. Compared to the living quarters for the other prisoners, this was like the Waldorf!

Wow, what a cell or palace at the time to comfortably house such a gangster...shows the power he had because of money & connections. Seriously, though, this is a terrific capture with great lighting...congrats, Richard!

Thank you, Patrice.

I LOVE this shot, the pov, the light and the atmosphere are just perfect, what treatment did you add to make this so moving?
Richard Sasserath commented on June 02, 2010 06:36:
Thank you, Dov. Actually, I used no flash, just a tripod and AE-BKT, 5 shots at 0.7. Shot RAW and processed in Photomatix Pro.
