Do Robots Dream Of Electric Staircases

Another one from the Science Museum, Kensington London. Photography is allowed in the Museum though as usual with no Tripods and no Flash. This is a shot looking down from the top of one of the two staircases. There is a reflection of the stairs in the glass sides. There is a poster on the stairs for the Museums Exhibition on Robots. I took the shot leaning the camera on the rail and also with 1000 ISO to get a fast enough shutter speed.

The picture was taken with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 mm lens at 10mm. 3 raw images 2EV spacing processed with Photomatix Fusion Real Estate for a natural look. Noise reduction with Nik Define and more detail with Topaz Clarity. To add more drama I used Topaz Glow Natural Neon Preset at 68% to tone down the full effect. This was applied with a layer mask in Photoshop and removed the effect from the poster of the Robot Exhibition.
