What we have above is a Black and White Minimalist Photograph of the Side Rail of a large Staircase located at Jawahar Kala Kendra Jaipur. 

I have posted many a shots from this place earlier ,but this time what I spotted different was the staircase side rail being illuminated by Sunlight. 

I am talking about the Two Light Spots at the Top Left corner of the frame.

Those Two Light Spots were the starting point of my Photo Composition. 

Initially I was shooting straight from the front. The image was coming out to be decent but was not popping. 

So, I thought of getting a little creative.  

I dialed in an Aperture value of  F/14 and moved right in front of the side rail of the staircase to my right. 

I wanted to keep the zig zag formation made by it in the foreground and Two Light Spots on the top left of the frame. 

The exact settings I used to take this shot are as follows:

Aperture: F/14

Shutter Speed: 1/250 sec

ISO-speed: 1000

Shooting Mode: Full Manual

Focal Length: 100mm

Lens used:  Canon 100mm F2.8 Macro L Series

Later, during editing I achieved the Darkness to Light effect using Adobe Photoshop CC 2017
