Very neat Optical Illusion! And photography!

Very interesting post, Fred! It's a good thing that you were using the D850, I think! What ISO did you use? Were you able to take test shots?

Thanks Doug, pretty much all I can take credit for is being there, camera did all the work!

Keith, it was so dark in the viewing area I was unable to even see the damned camera much less make ISO adjustments! Didn't know what I had until I got home, and was very happily surprised. ISO was on auto thank goodness. Some shots were agonizingly slow, some were fairly quick - all depending on how strong and how long the light flashes were. But at least I was smart enough to leave behind our favorite (but slow) 200-500. As you know the D850 has a pretty good rep for low light situations, and this was my first real workout with it in that mode.

As for "test shots", you are looking at them (they all were!)

I just propped my elbows on the guard railing and kept on shooting (its not like I was spending money on film or anything). If that ain't the definition of point & shoot, I don't know what is. Got lucky.

good to hear from you,

Definitely a cool illusion!

It's just as baffling when you are standing there looking at it. If someone didn't point it out to you, no one would believe the room is only half as tall as it appears.

thanks for commenting.
