It was referred to by \u201cThe Scotsman\u201d<\/a> as Edinburgh\u2019s worst kept secret. Apple is finally going to open a store in Scotland\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n

And I\u2019m sure that\u2019s what the savvy marketing people at Apple wanted: people talking about the new store well before the opening, to build up the hype. The future Apple store is surrounded by a white wall with the famous logo emerging out of a pattern of colourful dots.<\/p>\n

I was not able to find out when the store will open, though. When the Apple executives want to keep a secret, it looks like they can.<\/p>\n

When I first saw the colours on that white wall, I immediately thought of many photographic opportunities. Since I didn\u2019t have a camera with me at the time, I made a mental note to return later.<\/p>\n

\"Multiple<\/a>
Multiple exposures in camera taken from the same vantage point as the picture above. I moved the camera slightly from shot to shot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I first tried to do multiple exposures by moving the camera slightly from shot to shot, to give a photograph with a pointillist feel to it. Pointillism was developed by Paul Signac and Georges Seurat, as an evolution of impressionism.<\/p>\n

\"Photograph<\/a>
Zooming during a long exposure gives the image a dynamic feel.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The second technique I used was zooming in during a long exposure, to give the picture some movement and dynamism.<\/p>\n

Then is was time to move in closer and try the same approaches on just a part of the dot pattern, to get some colourful, abstract pictures.<\/p>\n

\"Multiple<\/a>
Rotating the camera after each shot of a 9 exposure combination, I obtained this abstract picture of colour.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
