Yes
Some from a walk round the newly refurbished Piece Hall in Halifax , it was where "pieces" of cloth woven in the local area were sold in the late 1700,s

Lots of potential here. In general all could do with straightening and/or perspective correction.

1) - needed to be a little lower & looking up a bit more to get the top of the tower & put the people nearer the bottom of the frame.

2) - Shooting from a lower position still to emphasise the structure in the floor & lead to the steps would help.

3) - Correcting distortion would help, and it's a shame that the speaker top left is in frame.

4) - strongest shot here. After straightening I'd probably up the contrast & drop saturation a little.

5) - This type of shot realy needs to be straight & square, but I'm not sure the lead lines & vanishing point are strong enough to compete with the ugly skyline.

Hope that's useful.

Yes you are quite correct, this was a day out in Halifax with SWMBO, but having been I will go back armed with tripod ,TS-E and a lot more time and hopefully less people when all the kids are back at school
 
You could just straighten these in post. :)

Yes but there is no point in having a £1500 lens and not using it for what is was designed for and this place is made for it,plus I should be able to get some great effects using the tilt function
 
What lens were you using, the place looks huge? Nice to see the place smartened up I think but I wonder how they are going to use it as it seems a shame to have lost that big open space to that elevated section. Have they improved the retail units, they were always too small for many businesses to thrive?

Fuji 10-24.
It is big, Its so long since I went I had forgotten how big it was, but there is a bit of a distorting effect from the lens ' its why I like using it!
I hope the retail units survive, although the top floor appears to be being used as offices so hopefully it will prosper and be around for a few more years
