Spiraling

With few opportunities (i.e., none) for photographing over the past few days, I went back to photographs from my meetup with @poppoliv for some inspiration. This is the Rookery spiral staircase, taken with my fisheye and processed using Silver Efex.

Stellar perspective to capture the curved and straight lines...super composition

Seeing your photos of Chicago makes me want to visit someday.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

This is great. I love your pov and all the lines and shapes.

[Poppo Livy]

I'm a very inspiring kind of fellow - and so modest too.

[Lou Ann]

Amazing, really. Oh and thank you @terryliv, for inspiring Taffy. Smile.

[Maggiemae]

Lovely pearly white to have here for the steps and the rest!

@taffy That would be cool. Its on my short trip list.

[Tony]

Stunning composition and capture.

[Rob Z]

Very, very nice - love the circle within the circle.

[Marnie]

This is fantastic, almost MC Escher-esque. So many wonderful lines going every which way, yet combining to make a very eye-catching whole.

[Richard Hickey]

Awesome picture.

[Diana]

A magical image.

[Diana]

Love this.

[Caroline]

So graphic! You've got a great eye and great composer!

[Pam Knowler]

Perfection! I know how difficult it is looking up to get this shot - I nearly fell backwards down the stairs! Lol! One of my favourite places in Chicago - mind you I have so many! Love it! Fabulous fisheye shot - love that lens! Fav!

[Lynda McG]

Fav!

[FBailey]

I immediately thought the same as Marnie - very trick of the eye stuff. Love it even if I do feel I'm overbalancing :)

[haskar]

Great pov and light.

[Dione Giorgio]

Fav. Amazing shot and pov. Great light/shade contrasts.

[Tremerryn]

Amazing lines and architecture! Now run to the top :)

[Casablanca]

I couldn't work out if it was up or down at first - what a lovely optical illusion and fascinating shot.

[elkehochban]

wow, so many angles to look at! Can't tell if you're down looking up, or up looking down, if that makes any sense!

[Harry J Benson]

great pov and composition

[Sapphire]

Dizzying!

[Jennifer]

OH this is fabulous!! Instafav

[Junko Y]

Such perfection in your capture and processing. And so interesting that I also took a similar type of fish eye circular image from the very same spot -- with very different effect! Ah, the Rookery has so much to offer with every visit.

[Sheralee S]

Fabulous shot, really took my eye!
