Round Flats

Architecture, Cityscapes, Fisheye

On yesterday's shot I mentioned that new housing developments along the Thames have made way for access points along the river for good vantage points of the Millennium Dome. This is one such development, New Providence Wharf.

Built in the shape of a horse shoe and directly overlooking the Dome on the site of an old chemical factory. The flats are expensive to rent at ?450 a week for 950 sq ft space or just over half a million pounds to buy one.

Another distorted 8mm fisheye shot stretched into a rectangular image using RectFish. In this image of a horse shoe curved structure the processing does wonderful things to the lines. anyone with an 8mm fisheye I recommend RectFish whole heartedly, for it's amazing ability to keep so much of the original image when converting it to a square from a circle. Obviously not to everyone's taste because of the distortion but I love it.

P.S. Don't forget keep off the grass... :-)
