Spiral Up Heals

This is another shot of the famous staircase at Heals Department Store on Tottenham Court Road with the changes made last year. The notable new feature is the chandelier going from top to bottom. There has also been an extension of the part of the staircase accessible to the public to the lowest floor but not the highest floor. This is a shot from the ground floor not previously open to the public.
The picture was taken handheld with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle lens at 17mm. 3 raw images 2EV spacing. As it was a bit dim down there I created an additional image by using the +2 EV image in Camera Raw and increasing the exposure by 2EV. Opened in Photoshop first and each image noise reduced with Noiseware Pro and saved as tiffs.
