# Level 5 Finish Examples

Level 5 finish examples photographed under raking light. A smooth wall photographed under flat lighting proves nothing, because flat lighting is exactly what hides the difference between Level 4 and Level 5.

**Note**: Photography currently on this site is royalty free placeholder imagery, not photographs of work performed by Hanenburg Drywall.

## What real photography here should show

- Walls photographed with light grazing the surface at a low angle
- Full wall shots showing the plane rather than only close crops
- Rooms with large glazing where critical lighting is genuinely present
