Usher Hall was one of the venues that benefited from the annual Edinburgh Doors Open Day in which local architectural and cultural treasures are opened to the public for a short while at no charge. This concert hall's south staircase also has benefited from a recent modernist renovation as seen here. The LED light cylinder structure is suspended from a window in the ceiling, and hangs a couple feet over the bottom of the floor - pretty slick.
No filters or long exposures used here. Maximum tilt (+12) used for mild interesting effect, no shift used. Focal point is mid-way down the staircase.

Superb work. There is something about looking down a spiral staircase - definitely vertigo inducing

Brilliant shot Kenny. Wish I'd made it out to that event. Will be a defo next year. Planning to get a group out in Nov if you wanna tag along. Somewhere accessible with a pub preferably.
