staircase
An apparently simple staircase allowed me to realize this splendid shoot which perfectly expresses my continued research of an ideal photo composition: a beautiful abstract form (an eye) extracted from a daily life object (staircase).
Imposing architecture in the Natural History Museum London. Indeed it was not as empty as it seems on this picture. I spent some time on it in postproduction to get rid of a guy on the stairs and a green sign in the very middle, showing the way to an emergency exit. But cleaned up this way it looks much better.
5 exposures at -1.3EV, -0.7EV, 0EV, +0.7EV and +1.3EV tonemapped using Photomatix Pro then edited using DxO Photolab. The Natural History Museum in London is a natural history museum that exhibits a vast range of specimens from various segments of natural history. The museum is home to life and earth science specimens comprising some 80 million items within five main collections: botany, entomology, mineralogy, palaeontology and zoology. The museum is a centre of research specialising in taxonomy, identification and conservation. Given the age of the institution, many of the collections have great historical as well as scientific value, such as specimens collected by Charles Darwin. The museum is particularly famous for its exhibition of dinosaur skeletons and ornate architecture—sometimes dubbed a cathedral of nature—both exemplified by the large Diplodocus cast that dominated the vaulted central hall before it was replaced in 2017 with the skeleton of a blue whale hanging from the ceiling.
A simple display of light / dark and spirals provided kindly by the fantastic architechture in Heals department store in London, ironically the store was really busy, yet everybody else seemed to be unaware of the most interesting part of the building.

Something a little different, one of my other passions, which is black and white architechture.
This was taken in Prague a few months agao and I'd totally forgotten about it until yesterday when I was catching up with some editing. I wasn't sure if I'd manage to capture what I wanted but in the end I'm more than happy with this.
Despite takling a tripod into this building it quickly became clear that using it wasn't an option due to the miniscule amount of space available to even place the camera, and virtually impossible even with the tilt screen on the D750 to look through the camera for the purpose of framing the shot up.
After a couple of not so succesful attempts the final solution was to obtain focus, rest the camera on its back on the floor, set a 10 second timer, then move out of the way of the shot.
When I arrived here I found I wasn't the only photographer shooting this scene... in a really bizarre twist of fate I had found out that Brad Eide was over from America, he and his wife Barb were actually randomly in Prague at the same time! so we had met up for dinner the night prior to this, I'd told Brad about this location in passing and when I walked in here the next day he was already in there shooting away! Small world or what...?!

Tengo a precisare che questo scatto non è stato elaborato. I raggi sono dovuti all'utilizzo del diaframma chiuso (F/8) e lo scatto è stato eseguito col cavalletto (8" di esposizione)

One morning I decided to take a trip to the National History Museum in London and I wanted to take this shot from the...
Bramante Staircase - modern equivalent from 1932 - Vatican Museums in the Vatican City State.
The Lightbulb Staircase of Grand Cafe Orient in the House of the Black Madonna is one of Prague’s hidden gems. Designed by architect Josef Gočár in 1911, the building is the only surviving Cubist interior in the world.

“To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.”

Courtyard of the British Museum in London. Panorama out of 4x3 vertical shots, handheld with the Fuji X100F. Worked on this for a while to bring out some of the fine contrasts in the white stone.

Another visit to the Capital, this time trying to get some different, less obvious images, one from Central London yesterday, a phenomenal staircase in a department store of all places, that seemingly goes on upwards forever . . .

My first 'interior' posting. This beautiful spiral staircase was made by Cecil Brewer for Heal's Furniture Store in 1916. In 2013 a grand restoration took place with the addition of the current chandelier. It is said to be the most photographed staircase in London.
