London by Christian Zammit

I managed to snap this wonderful photogrpah on my last in London. This was shot from the exit of the Westminster tube station. This was shot was taken exactly next to the the underground sign, and shooting up so I can also include the Big Ben tower. I had to shoot this a couple of times…since it is not extremely easy taking a photo from there; double deckers kept passing by, people existing from the tube bumping into you…etc. But I am quite happy with photo. The only thing that I wanted is a plane passing by….but… Big Ben is part of the Westminster Palace and a UNESCO World Heritage site CANON EOS 400D This / work / has / been / produced / by / Christian / Zammit / Kindly / click / on / photo / below. / Visit my gallery Calendars 2010 /
Spiral Staircase SC1 by Munggo

Isle of White, England.
Precision by hologram

A modern structure at the centre of the EUR area of Rome, Italy. Many of the buildings (but not this one obviously) hint back to the days of Mussolini. A fascinating location with some truly intriguing architecture, so different in style from the surrounding classic areas. Many thanks to the Techno Logical group for the feature (November 2009).

Got Rusty Milk? by Ken Powers

This old milk canister had been sitting around our house for years. We had no idea what we wanted to do with it so I thought I would add it to my collection of watercolor paintings. For some reason, I had the absolute worst time trying to get the blues in this piece to scan correctly. I have always had trouble scanning the Lapis Lazuli but this one was a particular nightmare. The piece is painted with a combination of Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paint and Daniel Smith Primatek paints on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. The paper and paint combinations really create some interesting textural effects. The original piece is 10.25”x14” in size. /
The Hall of Mirrors by Amy Hale

I thought this abstract optical illusion of a hallway in a Madrid hotel could be an abstract modernist spin on the (literal) Hall of Mirrors at Versailles.

Open. But Don't Really. by Tama Blough

These valve wheels are always tempting somehow. But turning them will usually set off the fire alarms, sprinklers systems and cause general havoc and mess. Hence the padlock, so passers-by won’t get any bright ideas. /

Alien Invaders March Through The Valley by David McMahon

A few hours after a couple of my colleagues declared that power lines were most definitely the most boring sight in the world, I decided to see if I could find an interesting perspective. I drove out to a great lookout point, about 40 kilometres (25 miles) away from the city centre. There is a long, deep valley here and although I was hoping for a dramatic sunset, there was no flaring colour to work with. Then I suddenly realised, as dusk faded, that all I had to do was swap my 18-125mm lens for my 70-300mm lens and use the wonderful series of shapes and silhouettes that surrounded the gentle arc of the power lines, against the monochrome of the sky. By shooting from this angle and keeping the frame asymmetrical, I was able to highlight the shapes, while allowing the pylons to disappear into the distance. I do not crop, enhance or post-edit my images in any way. Shot with a Pentax K100D, using a Sigma 70-300mm lens. F5.6, 1/45 sec, ISO 800, focal length 300mm.
