For TPF weekly challenge "The Unexpected Composition."
Here are the parameters constraints for the challenge:
1 - Pick a focal length - can be anything you like but you cannot change mid challenge. If you pick 45mm on your 18-55 then you must stay at 45mm.
2 - Pick a subject - anything you want
3 - Pick a spot to stand - you cannot move away from that place. You can squat or lean or bend but you cannot move to a different spot
4 - Now shoot 25 different compositions of your subject from that spot. Yes that's right, 25. Sorry film people...
I awakened the morning of the 4th looking up at our ceiling fan.
Grabbed the X100F with the teleconverter adapter that essentially makes it a nifty fifty.
Here are 25 of the 47 exposures I shot...
The ceiling at Leake Street doesn't get as much attention as the walls, for obvious reasons, but when it does the work is usually stunning. Forground is by Psychodoodlz, with the entrance to The Vaults at the bottom right. The portrait bottom left is the work of Olivier Roubieu.
Detail of the wooden beams in the roof of Salt Creek Covered Bridge a two lane bridge at Brown County State Park IN. Built in 1838. The advert on the beam is actually on the wrong side of the bridge to be seen by traffic entering the bridge, it would be above and behind traffic leaving the bridge.
The ceiling of the 203 foot long nave is covered with Victorian paintings as a kind of Jesse tree, tracing the ancestry of Christ. It was the work of two artists, Henry Styleman Le Strange, who painted the first six panels (counting from the west), and Thomas Gambier Parry, who painted the last six - you can observe a change of style between the sixth and seventh panels.
My nephew would call this "The bestest book store ever."
Well, it is an ordinary book store but in a lovely 19th century grade II listed building.
And they had pretty stairs :o)
(And a not so pretty carpet...)

Ein großartiger Buchladen. Also, naja, ein Buchladen eben, aber in einem großartigen, denkmalgeschützten Gebäude aus dem 19. Jahrhundert.
Mit Treppen :o)
(Und einem relativ schrecklichen Teppich, aber man kann nicht alles haben...)

Quite a busy shot but I love the roof on show at Leadenhall Market. I must try to go back here and take another shot where I'm standing right underneath looking up.
Right I'm off to a celebrate the New Year at a friends house. I hope that 2010 brings you all happiness.

This is a picture i finally got around to uploading of the ceiling in the chinese pavilion in epcot.
Taken with an Olympus E-P2 using a Panasonic 14mm lens, edited from RAW in LR5, and cleaned up a little noise-wise in Dfine.
The 14mm Panasonic lens is just wonderful. This was taken hand-held, and even in remarkably little light using ISO 1600 on the E-P2, good information was picked up in RAW. The larger image shows clear definition when cropped down even at this distance.
I'd've liked the windows at the back not to be haloing, but it was mid-day when this was taken, so light intrusion was to be expected when metering in such a dark building.
Interior of one of the painted churches of Texas. These are churches constructed by European immigrants in the late 19th/early 20th Century. Here is a site about them: www.klru.org/paintedchurches/
High Hill, Texas
This is another one of my favourite museums of London. It's incorporated the new architecture with the old in a wonderful way. This is also perfect for Grandchildren, those Mummies are a fascination. I like the Japanese Rooms particularly, beautiful carvings.
il Baciccio, also known as Giovanni Battista Gaulli, The Triumph of the Name of Jesus, 1672-1685, ceiling fresco, Il Gesu, Rome
This is the ceiling of a church dedicated to the founder of the Jesuits, Ignatius Loyola. The painter was Andrea Pozzo in the late seventeenth century. Have a look at how he cleverly made the painting look three-dimensional when it is on a flat surface. As with many ecclesiastical buildings in Rome, the decoration is sumptuous and money was obviousy no object.
This section of the ceiling has fewer snakes and more of the usual scenes of the underworld. Esna temple. Esna, Egypt.
The is just a section of the ceiling in the Bellagio hotel in Las Vegas. It is a terrific set of stained glass.
Map room, Vatican museums. A totally cliched shot -- search "vatican map room ceiling" and see for yourself!

What a grotty day, rain over rain, no possibilities for a cool shot - so you get only this.
