Alex Howen
The occupants of the fruit palace should give you something large in a box for this image – like it even more on my second look.

ozzzywoman
There’s something mesmerizing about images that are sharp and blurry at the same time, well done on this one!
LeighN replied
Thanks Ozzzy!
kilmann
Amazing shot with stunning symmetry, light and reflections.
LeighN replied
Thanks kllmann, these steps are quite striking when you first see them.
Jeff Catford
This is a very clever image. It looks like a double exposure but it isn’t but while you’re figuring that out, you are drawn into having a very long and rewarding look.
You have captured the spacey, metallic feeling perfectly and given us, instead of what could have been a cold and boring symmetrical image, a very graphic representation of light and minimalist design.
Wonderful! Thank you
LeighN replied
Thanks Jeff! You’re right about what it could have been, first shot I took was a bit cold and dull feeling so I deliberately over exposed this a bit so it didn’t feel too cold and harsh and in doing so the glow off the ceiling lights blurred at the top seem to lift the pic a bit. Glad you like it.
David Hibberd
Love this one, Great take

Lois Bryan
Ok, well, now look at the mess … you’ve completely blown my mind trying to figure this one out … and there are brains and goo everywhere!! LOL!!! Seriously … the more I stare at this one .. the more it seems that there’s a completely inaccessible hallway on the other side of the stairs … WITH a doorway!!!! Apart from all my confusion … what a gorgeous, glowing, sparkling, gleaming futuristic image!!!!! WOWZER!!!
LeighN replied
Wow quite a compliment Lois, thankyou!
Teresa Zieba

Terence Russell
Leigh, this is a a most creative image. Not only is the composition superb in every detail as is the the captue of the amazing sheens of light on the burnished stainless steel (I think), but the very idea that you would see this stairway as a photographic subject astounds me. Not that it isn’t, just that I suspect that most of us would have overlooked this opportunity. I believe that this is the first of your works that I have seen and examined. I am sure it won’t be the last. I am going to have to go prowl through your albums immediately.
LeighN replied
Thank you Terence, that’s quite a compliment! I had been to this store on several previous occasions and each time the lighting on the transparent stairs and stainless steel really grabbed my attention. Next time I went in, I made it a point of taking the camera. Apple staff were happy even for me to use the tripod in the store!
Terence Russell
Duh … Leigh, you were already in my watchlist. This image just wasn’t there last time I visited. Excuse me as I slowly take time to equate the images in my mind with the photographers and artists responsible for their creation.
LeighN replied
Thanks again Terence!!

warriorprincess
Great perspective and combination of hard and soft light. Makes you want to climb those stairs to meet what’s behind the door. A real Sci-fi feel to this.
LeighN replied
Thanks WP, glad you like it. You’re right about Sci-fi, the stairs look like they could be on a space ship!
Kieron Nolan
Very nice…I’m not an Apple person myself but you’ve got to love their style with their product design and their stores. Very well shot!
LeighN replied
Thanks Kieron! I wasn’t an Apple person originally either, but once you go Mac, you never go back ;)

janniev
Wow, you’ve turned what you said was a duyll space into something very futuristic and fantastic. I love the look of double exposure, it also gives it an ethereal quality. I love your perspective and the way you’ve captured the reflected light – it now glows! Wonderful sight to see what it could be and to turn it into your vision so brilliantly. Congratulations on being on the Featured Art page, too.
LeighN replied
Thank you Janniev! Thank you too for alerting me to the feature on the Featured Art page, I didn’t realise it was on there! I’m very chuffed about that! Yes it’s amazing how different exposures can really transform a photo, this shot has taught me quite a bit about that.
Glenn Stephenson

Oh wow – this is amazing!
LeighN replied
Thanks Edge!
Karen Betts
You are very welcome, it was great to do the features as i saw images like yours i had not seen before. Just loved it, know what you mean about busy and photography gets put to one side. Sometimes that is just how it is, but glad i have made you feel you want to do more when you have time. Karen : )
LeighN replied
Thanks Karen, glad you like the shot. It seems to be my most popular shot so far and at the time I took it I never would have thought a photograph of a set of stairs would be noticed by many people at all. Just goes to show, it’s often the simple things or the ones you may overlook that turn out to make the best shots! Cheers LN
walela
Excellent shot!
LeighN replied
Cheers, thanks Walela!
Aimelle
that could have been such a boring composition, but it is shining and captivating!

LeighN replied
Thanks again Aimelle!

I keep coming back to look at this one. I find the whole image quite mesmerising. I love the tonal range and find this a wonderful application of HDR.
LeighN replied 21 days ago
Thanks AJM. I know HDR can easily be overdone but in this instance given the range of light and dark I don’t think the shot would have been possible without it! Anyway glad you enjoy the shot!
