Wortham escalator 02

Houston downtown

this is one of the most glorious indoor spaces in Houston's downtown & it works even better at night, particularly with elegantly coiffed ladies and dashing gents on the escalator
this entrance atrium dramatically hurdles over a roadway & leads to the main theater auditorium
glad I brought the 14 mm along, which has sufficient FOV for getting this fabulous stairway at the Wortham Opera House
I think this is one of the most under-rated Nikkors
going this wide, requires some technical legerdemain in post which Nikon makes a good deal simpler
I used both NX2's excellent CA & perspective correction tools for this, which greatly simplifies an semi-onerous PS task

$10,000 donors to the Houston Grand Opera get to slide down the center

Nice work showing the beautiful escalator. What's in the center? An emergency slide?
