Yet another shot from my pre-pizza mini shoot on Tuesday. Amazingly I decided to drive into Leeds that night and saved 1 hour of nus nightmare and used the time to walk around the corn exchange/market/vic. quarter and got lots of HDR's before meeting my mates.
This is the entrance at the Kirkgate end of the market, taken from the traffic island in the middle of the road. I wanted it to look HUGE and impressive, so what better than a very wide lens looking up at it to give that "child's eye" view of the building.
Not cloned out the bags of rubbish as that's part of market life.
The shop on the left is a kinki lingerie shop which was full of halloween kit that night, tried a few shots there but they didn't really work.
Got the day off work and its the flattest, greyest day of the year :-(
May go try and find the illusive Flash Centre in Leeds...

cheers Richard
took about 5 seconds to compose and 15 seconds to get teh 3 shots - you've got to be quick in the city or a bus/old git gets in the way 
You used your 20 seconds to good effect Ade, huge detail and has that effect that you use, is it black magic?
All the very best enjoy your day off, I'm off too,
Dougie
a lovely night shot. Typical that lamp posts, sign posts etc always seem to be just in the wrong place when taking pictures

yeah - it's pigeon proofing Dave.
in a past life I used to fit the stuff in Preston
still dull as chuff out there Dougie...
Just playing along to the set we're playing tonight, making sure I don't come in to early and the like
ho ho ho
cheers fran....
....now there's an idea, the Grand Theatre... not thought of that
cheers
there was a church on the road to Goosnargh, I forget the area's name now, just outside a really rough estate. We put that pointy spikey stuff on that. I was on the top of a fully extended ladder, about 60 feet up, steel brushing off pigeon poo then fixing the stuff (called ECOPIC) with silicon gel...
we did that on a few other less impressive buildings!
when I was there we did all the drains around Fulwood - putting bags of rat poison on strings, dangling them into the sewers and then nail-gunning the string into the wall so we could pull the bags up in future to see if there's been any activity.
right out on blackpool road, near that organ shop, there was a load of noisey hens that we had to catch and move - we had a 200 foot net and all the environmental health officers (in suits) chaising the thiungs... we caught... none. Comedy value was HUGE though!
6 months of fun, if only you could make a decent wedge from it I'd do it full time, it was ace
Must have a trip to Leeds City centre some evening, we could maybe meet up????
Keith....
Giz a shout when you're free Keith - though with the clocks going back, it's black skies till spring :-(
Good strong symmetrical shot. Lovely colours in the shpp windows and I like that pattern in the slabs at the front of the entrance
Helen
Perfect wide angle to mazimize the imposing nature of this building. One of the few examples where barrel distortion is a good thing!
Patrick
Cracking shot yet again Adrian. I got lost in the middle of Leeds once trying to find the M62 back to civilisation ( 
) after a concert at the Irish Centre. Took bloody ages to get out again! LOL
Simon
Glad this picked up a HC .. it deserved it in my opinion.
Dan
Cheers for the HC Pete - was hoping this would get your nod as it's a fave of mine... just hope you like the next one which is about to be posted!
