the grace building from the 43rd street side - manhattan, nyc
(just a note - the building does actually curve away from the street on the way up)
Okay...so I really am an amateur! My husband laughed at me when I told him that I learned something new about my flash and the light "bouncing" in a different direction. Anyways...I learned something new...and this was the result.
The kind of day it was ~ yesterday. Fat white clouds rolling and tumbling overhead.

Sarah and I went to visit my snow-birding parents down at their place in Indio California. I'm not even quite sure where this was but is was some "oasis" about 20-30 mins outside of Palm Springs. It was a very cool spot and had all these natural (untrimmed) palm trees.
For this shot, I noticed all these trees and thought that a wide angle image looking straight up would work well. What do you think?

Tegernsee Abbey or the Imperial Abbey of Tegernsee is a former Benedictine monastery in the town and district of Tegernsee in Bavaria.
Die ehem. Klosterkirche, Pfarrkirche St. Quirinus, ist ein Barockbau mit romanischen und gotischen Elementen. Klenze, der das Kloster zum Schloss umbaute, formte bei der Kirche nur die Fassade klassizistisch um.
"Die tonnengewölbte, dreischiffige Pfeilerbasilika mit Vierung und Querhaus (Zuccalli, ab 1678) prangt mit üppigem italienischen Stuck und trefflichen Fresken von Hans Georg Asam (1689-94), dessen zweiter großer Künstlersohn Egid Quirin 1692 in Tegernsee zur Welt kam."

"Die Fresken im Innern der Kirche, vor allem der „Allerheiligenhimmel“ von Asam, schufen die Illusion einer perfekt geordneten christlichen Welt: in den Bildern öffnet sich über dem realen Raum ein Scheinraum und gewährt Einblick in die himmlischen Sphären.
Typisch für das Barockzeitalter ist ein tiefer Glaubensernst in dieser Kirche spürbar, daneben aber auch die diesseitige Sinnesfreude, die sich in materieller Prachtentfaltung zeigt. Nichts bleibt ohne Verzierung in dieser Klosterkirche, überall trugen Stukkateure aus Italien, sowie Bildhauer und Maler aus Süddeutschland dazu bei, den Betrachter nicht nur zu beeindrucken. Die üppige Bewegtheit der Formen soll zu innerer Bewegung anregen. „Delectare et movere“, "Erfreuen und Bewegen" war es, was ein gelungenes Kunstwerk leisten sollte. Der optische und damit sinnliche Zugang zur christlichen Lehre war Sinn und Inhalt der Werke von Hans Georg Asam, der Figuren von Johann Baptist Straub und der Architektur von Antonio Riva."

Sometimes it's surprising what you can miss, if you don't look up. I think it'd be a shame to miss this view.
Probably best large... larger... largest! Except you won't see the super-largest here as I have scaled the image down from the original so too bad nyaa! :P
This photograph is taken looking straight up the main tower in The Cathedral and Abbey Church of Saint Alban: www.stalbanscathedral.org.uk/
I wonder if anyone can identify all the emblems... :)
The outer ring appears to have four designs, each repeated three times, and the inner four are unique. Plus there looks to be four coats-of-arms on the walls.
This is Cedar Point's scariest ride, and Cedar Point is known for its roller-coasters. This one actually goes straight up, over the loop (the upside-down U), then comes back to earth straight-down.
See? No kidding. Look at the left side of the structure and you'll see the 5 cars heading straight down.
Strangely, you don't hear people scream very much on this ride. I think people are just scared "shitless" or "peeing in their pants" when you're facing straight down at 405 ft (123 meters) and the cars are rolling straight down, you don't even know how to scream.
First uploaded test shot from my new Nikkor 14-24mm wide angle lens. The colours are kind of muted due to the location of the Sun and the shadows in the urban canyon.
Needless to say, I'm very happy with my lens and it's a perfect addition to my Fullframe Nikkor family. ;)
The entrance hall of the Overture Center for the Arts in Madison. The colors of the galleries are frequently changing, and I prefered the purple phase again.
Straight up... the view in one ot the smaller onion domes of the church.
Interior view of the Church of the Savior on Spilled Blood is one of the main sights of St. Petersburg, Russia. It is also variously called the Church on Spilt Blood and the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ, its official name. The name refers to the blood of Tsar Alexander II of Russia, who was assassinated on that site in 1881. The Church is prominently situated along the Griboedov Canal.
Construction began in 1883 under Alexander III, as a memorial to his father, Alexander II. Work progressed slowly and was finally completed during the reign of Nicholas II in 1907. The Church contains over 7500 square metres of mosaics—according to its restorers, more than any other church in the world. Nothing is painted here all are mosaics!
Der Blick nach oben in das Innere eines der kleineren Zwiebeltürme der Kirche. Die Kirche ist innen über und über mit Mosaiken bestückt - nichts ist hier gemalt! Die Kirche wurde in den letzten Jahren restauriert und so erstrahlen die wunderbaren Mosaike in den schönsten Farben.
Die Auferstehungskirche, auch als Blutkirche, Erlöserkirche und Bluterlöser-Kirche bekannt, ist eine Kathedrale in Sankt Petersburg. Die Kirche ist nach dem Vorbild der Moskauer Basilius-Kathedrale im so genannten „Neuen Stil“ (entspricht dem Jugendstil) gestaltet und als einziges Gebäude der Petersburger Innenstadt, das sich nicht an den italienischen und klassizistischen westlichen Baustilen orientiert, entsprechend auffällig. Erbaut wurde sie von 1883 bis 1912 an der Stelle, an der Alexander II. einem Attentat zum Opfer fiel.
Die Kirche steht in der Nähe des Newski-Prospektes am Gribojedow-Kanal. Die an altrussischen Vorbildern angelehnte Gestaltung des Gebäudes bedeckt eine Fläche von etwa 7000 Quadratmetern; die innere flächendeckende Ausgestaltung mit russischen Mosaiken im Ikonenstil und äußere Verzierung besteht vor allem aus Mosaiken. Die Kathedrale dient heute als Museum.

I'll have to try this again without me in the frame.
Taken with a Zero Image pinhole camera, probably a 2 second exposure. Huntington Beach, CA.
I somehow missed StraightUp Productions' show in the programme but their street advertising worked. We went to see it. There was a good show in there, but it needed tightening up. It could easily have lost 15 minutes.
Wonderful things live too deep for normal scuba. This massive yellow rope sponge, probably hundreds of years old, grows to enormous size protected from storm surge by depth at 300 feet. To reach "The Sponge Belt" between 200 and 300' we are using trimix breathing gas in four scuba tanks. A 15 minute bottom time at this depth requires about 2 1/2 hours of decompression! It's a lot of work to make images this deep.
The hardest part of making this image is that I had to hold my breath to avoid my own bubbles rising through the sponge cluster because I am shooting nearly straight up, swimming on my back into the current.
I put some tape on my Holga and wrote "take some multiples" on it. Cuz I always forget that I can. This is a double exposure of a tree somewhere near Lake Arrowhead.
