Final shot from inside the New York Public Library . . . these chandeliers hang in each of the numerous stairwells in and around the buildings. The challenge in a shot like this is balancing the light coming from the bulbs with with the rest of the exposure . . . this left me with a very moody shot with shadows creeping in from the corners . . . . very nice effect, I think.

Captured with the Nikon 50mm prime shooting at 160th of a second at f2.8. ISO is up to 250.
