It’s previous owner used it as an Emporium. 7 Exposures, processed in Photomatix and sharpened in CS3.

Art Deco Ceiling Lamp by Helen Phillips
If you love Art Deco and are visiting Tokyo, you can’t miss the Teien Art Museum which was constructed in 1933 as the residence of Prince Asaka and his Princess. The building is designed and decorated from top to bottom in the most beautiful and classic Art Deco style. No photographs are allowed inside the house, but I couldn’t help myself, especially the beautiful lamps and Lalique fittings. I was drooling!

FACADE No.3 by Paul (Quixote) Alleyne
This composition is that of two images taken with my Nikon D50 camera. (Image of sky and structure) I chose and angular composition to help accentuate the angles and sharp edges as well as the simple decorative facade against the deep blue of a sky. Both images were first edited seperately using CS2 photoshop, then merged together and edited further using photoshop’s filters and tools.

Over The Rails - QVB Building (Monochrome) , Sydney - The HDR Experience by Philip Johnson
Thanks for dropping in your viewings,comments and if i’m lucky FAVOURITES are greatly appreciated. The Queen Victoria Building is currently undergoing a facelift at $37.5 / million , one of the features is upgrading the paintwork to victorian period colours. This image shows “The Grand Staircase* of Sydneys Grand Queen Victoria Building, and is an example of how grand old buildings can be restored and still be used as money making concerns, in this case a grand shopping experience The Queen Victoria Building, now affectionately known as the QVB, was designed by George McRae and completed in 1898, replacing the original Sydney markets on the site. Built as a monument to the long reigning monarch, construction took place in dire times, as Sydney was in a severe recession. The elaborate Romanesque architecture was specially planned for the grand building so the Government could employ many out-of-work craftsmen – stonemasons, plasterers, and stained window artists – in a worthwhile project. Originally, a concert hall, coffee shops, offices, showrooms, warehouses and a wide variety of tradespeople, such as tailors, mercers, hairdressers and florists, were accommodated. The QVB fills an entire city block bound by George, Market, York and Druitt Streets. The dominant feature is the mighty centre dome, consisting of an inner glass dome and an exterior copper- sheathed dome. Glorious stained glass windows and splendid / architecture endure throughout the building and an original 19th century staircase sits alongside the dome. Every detail has been faithfully restored, including arches, pillars, balustrades and the intricate tiled floors thus maintaining the integrity of the building. / The visual message of Sydney’s coat of arms, on the cartwheel stained glass window, is that the beehive depicts business, the sailing ship – trade, and the dolphins – the harbour. Panel 1, on the left hand side, represents the Council of the City of Sydney, and symbols of architecture, while the letters I.G.B. on panel 3, on the right, represent Ipoh Gardens Berhad, the Malaysian company who restored the QVB. The symbols are of property developers – the builders. The bottom central panel represents the heraldic symbol of a finished building and the joining of two hands denotes the fusing of two cultures. There are many interesting and charming exhibitions and attractions throughout the building, along with portraits of the Queen. There is also a letter from Queen Elizabeth II to the Citizens of Sydney to be opened and read by the Lord Mayor of Sydney in the year 2085. Outside the QVB, on Town Hall Place, facing The Town Hall are the Royal Wishing Well and Queen Victoria’s statue.

In God We Truss by David McMahon
This shot of a historic roof was taken in the Block Arcade in Melbourne, about 18 months ago. This Heritage-listed arcade, designed by architect David C. Askew, dates back to the late 19th century. I was shooting a series of images from ground level and I had just fired off some close-ups of the roof when the light changed and the glass roof – which functions as a giant skylight – suddenly became much brighter. At that point I realised I should scale the lens back and try and capture some of the geometrical magnificence. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 18-125mm lens. F6.7, 1/90 sec, ISO 400, focal length 34mm. 83-6153

No Pane, No Gain by David McMahon
Two adjacent storefronts in Dawson City, in Canada’s Klondike gold rush region, caught my eye a few minutes after I arrived there last year. I was probably 65-70 metres away, because I was walking along the banks of the historic river. But I had two cameras around my neck, one with my 18-125mm lens and the other with my 70-300mm lens, so I was able to compose a really tight frame from where I stood. It might look as if these are two separate images “stitched” together electronically – but it’s one image, simply depicting two different styles, cheek by jowl. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K200D with a Sigma 70-300mm lens. F8, 1/350 sec, ISO 400, focal length 300mm.

About This Group
This group highlights the wonders of the Art Deco Period , and features all things from architecture to artworks to jewelery .
Art Deco was a popular international design movement from 1925 until 1939, affecting the decorative arts such as architecture, interior design, and industrial design, as well as the visual arts such as fashion, painting, the graphic arts and film. This movement was, in a sense, an amalgam of many different styles and movements of the early 20th century, including Neoclassical, Constructivism, Cubism, Modernism, Bauhaus, Art Nouveau, and Futurism. Its popularity peaked in Europe during the Roaring Twenties1 and continued strongly in the United States through the 1930s.[2] Although many design movements have political or philosophical roots or intentions, Art Deco was purely decorative. At the time, this style was seen as elegant, functional, and modern
