Oh there’s plenty of ways to shrink the file size, easiest is to pop it into photoshop (or similar) and re-save it at a slightly lower quality, or shrink the dimensions slightly. Either way I highly doubt they’ll be any discernible difference in the new file and you won’t miss out on the possibility of the pride that comes with being chosen amongst the winners.

The only stairs I’ve previously shot were at the abandoned military instillation at Diamond Head in Ohahu, Hawaii.
I like this shot because most spiral staircases are taken inside immaculate stately homes or mansions, this one with it’s grotty walls and worn diamond plating just seemed cool. I would have preferred a longer shorter speed to blur the tourists more but I’m still pretty happy with the outcome.

Need to get my creative mind thinking on this one, not entered for a while but feeling this

***DSLR falling down stairs whilst on continuous shoot** maybe a bit extreme lol

They don’t have a fan-page for you either (I checked)

if you can get to Queens House in Greenwich, the Tulip Staircase is a great composition: http://1x.com/photo/49851/portfolio/158935 (this is my take)

Do it! (as long as there’s no injury to you or the clown).

I have the perfect shot lined up, a clown tumbling down a set of steps. Tragically hilarious.

Kat/Sam – could we get it embeded in the example section? (sorry I didn’t ask that earlier).

Yes. No point ignoring an opportunity stairing you in the face.

The URL is a bit confusing (“shooting-challenge-8-modern-architecture-2″) – I’m guessing that’s a red herring, and they don’t have to be modern architecture stairs?
