On Saturday 20 September 2014. I took the train to London for The Open House London Weekend leading a group from Bognor Regis Camera Club. Open House involves about 700 buildings not normally open to the Public being open for free just for this one weekend of the year. This is usually the 3rd weekend of September.

This is the outside Atrium of 55 Baker Street and was the 3rd building on the agenda. There was no queue of note and they did a tour of the building. This is a radical renovation of a 1950s office building and is one I have not visited before. The shot is taken looking straight up at the new façade which part encloses the approach to the entrance.

The picture was taken with a Sony A700 with a Sigma 10-20 wide angle zoom at 10mm. Taken handheld. 3 raw images 2EV spacing. Opened in Photoshop first and each image noise reduced with Noiseware Pro and saved as tiffs.

Outputted in Photomatrix to fusion real estate.

Photoshop
Extra Detail was brought in with Topaz Adjust Bold.
I used Lens correction, crop and straighten tools to get it all more lined up balanced than the original image. Noise reduced with Topaz denoise.
