The iconic Boatsheds, one of the most photographed subjects on the Bellarine Peninsula. Always a different mood and conditions and never fails to impress.
A balmy day at Sorrento and warm enough to go knee deep in the water for this shot. Taken with Nisi 10 stop GND Filter & 27 sec exposure. Boats slightly blurred but I can live with that!
Sunrise at Clifton Springs Marina and this solitary fisherman is hoping to catch something for dinner.

7 More London Riverside. Pretty brutal design, I like the dark look of the glass. Situated next to London City Hall.
I didn't see the name of this work, which is located in a different building at LACMA. I also have some video, which I will post later on.
West 57th Street | Solow Building 30/04/2015 13h46
The concave vertical slope of its facade makes this skyscraper on the West 57th Street very special. Seen from below while on the upperdeck of an Open Tour bus.
Solow Building
The Solow Building, located at 9 West 57th Street, is a Manhattan skyscraper designed by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill's Gordon Bunshaft and built in 1974. It is located just west of Fifth Avenue, sandwiched between the 57th and 58th Street, next to such prominent buildings as the Bergdorf Goodman department store and the Plaza Hotel. Consisting of 50 stories and 210 m, the building's only competitor by height in the neighborhood is the GM Building, located one block north and east. Floors above the 23rd floor offer a virtually unobstructed view of northern Manhattan and a complete view of Central Park and The Plaza Hotel.
One of the notable aesthetic attributes of the building is the concave vertical slope of its north and south facades, on 57th and 58th Street. This is similar to another of Bunshaft's creations, the W. R. Grace Building, which is no coincidence, as he had used the initial, rejected façade design for the Solow Building in his design for the Grace Building.
The name of the building is attributed to Sheldon Solow, a real estate mogul who invested in the construction of the building.
The building is owned by billionaire Sheldon Solow. In the 1960s, he commissioned architect Gordon Bunshaft to build the tower. The building is privately managed and tenancy is held by Mr. Solow's estate.

I have just bought a B + W 10 stop ND filter. I just took this today with really rough sea. It did have a slight colour cast but it was very easy to correct in ACR. I am quite pleased with it as a first attempt. I downloaded a calculator table from the internet but this didn't seem that accuarate and I got the exposure in the end by trial and error. Looking forward to using this filter again!

Nocturne 5
Karen LaMonte (American, born 1967)
Made in the Czech Republic, Železný Brod, 2015
Mold-melted glass, grit-blasted, acid-polished
This statue is part of a series of sculptures in dark glass representing Karen LeMonte's contemplation of the idea of night. You can still see the impression of a body, once there but now gone, in the empty dress. LaMonte was inspired by nocturnes for solo piano written by 19th-century composers, and by the nocturne painting by James Abbot McNeill Whistler.
You don’t look at the Watergate; you experience it. The structure does not sit politely on its site—it sweeps, curving in a long, undulating serpentine wave that snakes along the Potomac River. Italian architect Luigi Moretti was not interested in building a simple block of apartments. He was building an urban landmark.
The most striking feature is the relentless, repetitive rhythm of the white concrete balconies. They wrap around the entire facade like the curves of a massive ocean liner, their vertical white railings forming a sharp, graphic stripe against the dark, recessed glass behind them. The balconies do not stack straight up; they step and stagger slightly, creating a layered, sculptural effect that catches the light differently with every hour of the day.
The large, reflective glass panels are a deliberate modernist gesture, mirroring the grey, overcast D.C. sky and the bare winter trees below. The top of the complex is crowned with smooth, white, drum-like mechanical structures, giving the building a slightly futuristic, almost sci-fi silhouette. The Watergate was designed to project power, wealth, and certainty—a building built to last, built to dominate, and built to make you feel small as you approach it.
