Stairs
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.

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...?!
