The Little Edinburgh Project 16 - National Museum of Scotland's Grand Gallery

The Little Edinburgh Project

This is Little Edinburgh, it is a series of shots I have taken around the city of Edinburgh in Scotland over the years. It is called Little Edinburgh because the focus of the project is to take photos in a way as to show the city in miniature using the tilt-shift effect. Edinburgh is an international cosmopolitan city but still somehow has a small town feel to it. I cannot walk down the street without recognising someone I know. So with that in mind it felt appropriate to create a vision of Edinburgh that makes it look very small, almost like a toy town.

National Museum of Scotland's Grand Gallery

This is a shot of the Grand Gallery in The National Museum of Scotland on chamber street, Edinburgh. It is the main entrance and focal point of the museum. From here you can reach all the exhibits in the museum. In fact, I am planning a little trip there tomorrow to check out Tim Peake's Soyuz capsule. Tim Peake being a british astronaut that was up at the International Space Station last year.

It's a beautiful building with wonderful victorian architecture that has recently been given a bit of tlc with a renovation, making the grand gallery brighter and looking almost new.

Thanks for Looking.

I love the effect on this, makes the people seem like little tiny toys. That is a massive museum, I went to see Tim Peake's space capsule last year at the Bradford Museum of Film and Photography - it's amazing to see that up close when it actually took someone into space and came back to earth again!

Thanks mate.. it is a pretty big place but it the British museum in London really puts this one to shame! They've also got some VR experience .. I need to buy tickets for that one but it looks awesome.. You put on one of those Samsung VR headsets and you ride along on Tim Peake's descent back to earth!

me too .. its great!

Congratz, your post has been resteemed and, who knows, will maybe appear in the next edition of the #dailyspotlights (Click on my face if you want to know more about me...)Check the rules of the Daily Spotlights if you want to nominate someone!

Thanks @pixresteemer :)

Cool tilt effect, as it draws one's eyes to the people walking around at the Grand Gallery while showing how large the entrance at The National Museum of Scotland is!

Thanks! It does convey a certain sense of scale doesn't it :) Though its a bit distorted thanks to the tilt shift ;)
