UK - London - Photo24 2015 - Heals Spiral fisheye 03_DSC8054
The famous spiral stair in Heals Department Store, London.
I'm continuing to upload bits and pieces, this one is a variant on a Photo24 shot previously uploaded. The previous version was cropped to a square format but on reflection this 'full frame' version captures more of the wild fisheye effect.
This was taken with a 10.5mm Nikon fisheye I'd hired for the weekend. I enjoyed using it so much I then ended up buying an 8mm Samyang fisheye lense.

From Wikipedia : "Heal’s has operated since 1818 in Tottenham Court Road, and from the present site since 1840. Its first purpose-built store, completed in 1854, was then one of the largest in London: the architect was James Morant Lockyer who presented the RIBA with a photographic elevation in May 1855. This is one of the earliest known professional applications of architectural photography in Britain.
The central part of the present building was commissioned by Ambrose Heal and designed by his cousin, and best friend, Cecil Brewer of the architectural practice Smith and Brewer. It was completed in 1917 and is a distinctive modern building, immediately hailed as a landmark in shop architecture, subsequently extended in a number of phases. An extension on the southern side of the building was added in 1938, designed by Sir Edward Maufe."
