Ultrawide / fisheye lenses can capture dramatic persectives in this sort of shopping mall. Previously I took photos with a 1.2 megapixel Nikon Coolpix camera with a wide angle adapter. A more recent 6 megapixel Pentax *ist camera with zoom fisheye - wide angle lens was used here. | |
 |
The picture above features a poster for The Da Vinci Code; this one has a shop called White Stuff which apparently sells urban and outdoor clothing. | |
 |
Another part of the building with a sort of cylindrical atrium. Debenham's department store lies beyond. | |
 |
A vertical fisheye view of the atrium. The man at the bottom of the picture is directly below but we can still see the top of the building where the sunlight is filtering in. | |
 |
Outside the building is this big empty space on which are scattered several of these concrete pipes painted red and white. Beyond to the right lies the Scottish Executive building. | |
 |
Closer inspection reveals yellow ladder rungs fixed to the interior of the pipes. However, it's not possible to descend very far because they're blocked up. Who knows what secrets lie below - maybe it's a secret escape from the Scottish Executive building in the event of a crisis... Part of Leith Docks can be seen in the background, over to the left. |

I got this far before being cautioned by a security guard, but that's more than enough fisheye views of this establishment. | |

How this part of Leith looked in July 2007. |
