This week's challenge theme at the GPlus 52 Weeks challenge was "Up". I had a couple of ideas and also another image in place (which I will post later though). But then, today, I went downtown. One of the special features of Leipzig are its different shopping arcades/ passage ways, like the very famous Maedler Passage I featured a while ago or the newer Strohsackpassage featured in the abstract "Circle and Square". Speck's Hof, one of the oldest of its kind in Leipzig (it opened in 1909), is my favorite one. I will take visitors and friends there whenever possible, just to have them see the beauty of the tiles in the interior courts.
This image was taken handheld with the G12. The trickiest part here was to get the camera plane to the ceiling. Furthermore, I tried to get the light right in the middle. All the same while trying to avoid falling over something or getting run over by other people. It was a good thing that downtown was not too busy today. Still it is the only image I took at that moment. In post-processing I brightened the image a bit, lightened the shadows a bit, enhanced contrasts, cropped and corrected the perspective slightly. And this is the resulting image.
