The station was opened on 10 March 1906 by the Baker Street and Waterloo Railway (now the Bakerloo line) with the platforms of the Great Northern, Piccadilly and Brompton Railway (now the Piccadilly line) being opened on 15 December 1906. As originally built it had, like other stations, a surface booking hall (designed, like many in central London built at that time, by Leslie Green). The development of traffic before and after World War I meant that the need for improved station facilities was acute. It was decided to construct a sub-surface booking hall and circulating area, which would also provide public pedestrian subways, and work was begun to February 1925 and completed in 1928, the architect was Charles Holden and the builder was John Mowlem & Co: the whole complex cost more than half-a-million pounds. Eleven escalators were provided in two flights, leading to the two lines serving the station.

Selfie shadows on a painted 2-story foyer wall. Halfway up an L-shaped stairway and facing the wall. Lighting from five clear candle bulbs in a chandelier, above and behind me, at right. Turned head slightly to right so chandelier lights focused & refracted through my eyeglass lens, forming bright white spots on the shadows.

As always, a photo each day for 365 days. All shot and edited using Apps on my iPhone 5.
The photo was taken using the camera App 645 Pro for iPhone. The original image can be found below.
First of all I used the app Dynamic Light to edit the image with the standard preset. Next I used the app called Mextures to apply some lighting and textures to the image. The Layers that I applied were, Vignette, Concrete Jungle, Ford Screen, Leaker, Sky Earth Overlay and the Neutral Density Soft Light Overlay. Finally I used Distressed FX to add extra texture to the image using the Stirred overlay and the Lazarus Texture.
The original photo was taken this afternoon on the 'Priory Garden' area of the Cathedral Quarter of Coventry. The image is of The exposed foundations of the original (the First of Three) of Coventry's Cathedrals. The Cathedral of St. Mary's Priory dates back to the time of Lady Godiva and her husband Leofric, Earl of Mercia. They founded a Benedictine monastery in 1043 that was dedicated to St. Mary. About 50 years later Papal authorisation was given for the monastery to become a Priory and Cathedral. The cathedral lasted until the Mid 16th Century, when it was destroyed as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries during King Henry VIII's reign. St Mary's was the only English cathedral to be destroyed during this time. For nearly 400 years Coventry went without a Cathedral until in 1918 the parish Church of St Michael became the Second Cathedral in Coventry's history. Part of the ruins of St. Mary's Priory Cathedral were uncovered in 1856 when the Blue Coat School was rebuilt on the site (the Building in the background). In 1999 as part of the Phoenix Initiative, archaeologists from the Channel 4 TV programme 'Time Team' conducted a dig to help find more remains of the Priory Cathedral. They returned again in 2001 for a second programme to see the progress that was being made.
The Priory Remains are classed as a both a Grade I listed building and a Scheduled Ancient Monument. It is number 18 on my list of 19 (Grade I) Listed buildings and number 8 on my list of 10 Scheduled Ancient Monument's in Coventry that I hope to photograph.
As in "now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall" from 'A Day In The Life' by The Beatles.
The Royal Albert Hall was built to fulfil the vision of Prince Albert (Queen Victoria's consort) of a 'Central Hall' that would be used to promote understanding and appreciation of the Arts and Sciences and would stand at the heart of the South Kensington estate, surrounded by museums and places of learning.
The Hall is a Grade I Listed building; and has been in continuous use since it was opened in March 1871. It was always conceived as a multipurpose building to host not only concerts of music but exhibitions, public meetings, scientific conversations and award ceremonies. It is a registered charity held in trust for the nation but is financially self sufficient: it receives no funding from central or local government.
Official Site ( www.royalalberthall.com/about/default.aspx )
The official opening ceremony of the Royal Albert Hall was on 29 March 1871. After a welcoming speech by Edward, the Prince of Wales, Queen Victoria was too overcome to speak, so the Prince had to announce that "The Queen declares this Hall is now open". A concert followed, when the Hall's acoustic problems became immediately apparent. These were not properly tackled until 1969 when a series of large fibreglass acoustic diffusing discs (commonly referred to as "mushrooms" or "flying saucers") were installed in the roof to cut down the notorious echo. It used to be said that the hall was the only place where a British composer could be sure of hearing his work twice.
Initially lit by gas (when thousands of gas jets were lit by a special system within 10 seconds), full electric lighting was installed in 1897. During an earlier trial when a partial installation was made, one disgruntled patron wrote to The Times newspaper declaring it to be " a very ghastly and unpleasant innovation".
In 1936, the Hall was the scene of a giant rally celebrating the British Empire, the occasion being the centenary of Joseph Chamberlain's birth.
The Hall has more recently undergone a rolling programme (1996 - 2004) of renovation and development to enable it to meet the demands of the next century of events and performances. Thirty "discrete projects" were undertaken by BDP without disrupting events. Although the exterior of the building is largely unchanged, the south steps leading down to Prince Consort Road were demolished to allow reconstruction of the original underground vehicle access to take modern vehicles. The steps were then reconstructed around a new south porch on the same scale and in the same style as the three pre-existing porches: these works were undertaken by Taylor Woodrow Construction.

As always, a photo each day for 365 days. All shot and edited using Apps on my iPhone 5.
The photo was taken using the camera App Huemore for iPhone. The original image can be found below.
First of all I used the app Dynamic Light to boost the lighting to the image with the Standard setting. Next I used PhotoToaster to edit the image. The edits were made by applying the Happy preset. I then used Distressed FX to add extra texture to the image using the Egret overlay and the Lade Texture. Finally I passed the image through PhotoToaster again to add the Shadow II frame. This is one of the new updated frames for PhotoToaster that have now been provided as standard with version 5 of the app. This shadow for this frame I hope gives the image a feeling of a canvas hanging on a wall.
The original photo was taken at lunchtime today in the Eastern Green area of Coventry. The image is of the parish Church of St Andrew’s. The late Victorian church was established and consecrated on November 4th 1875. It was built as part of a suite of buildings including the school, Vicarage and stable block. The Church was designed by Samuel Sanders Teulon, the notable 19th-century English Gothic Revival architect.
This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man. Farewell, my blessing season this in thee!

Well, the morning I took this photo was the morning the whole city of Raleigh was under a pretty wild blanket of fog. This photo was taken on Aviation Parkway while I was heading to work. Barely anyone on the road, so I was able to slow down well below the speed limit and snap a bunch of photos of the fog + the airport.
Once I saw this photo in its original form, I knew it could be the best one after a bunch of editing. Definitely right. I posted this on my Instagram first and it got a ton of attention, so I figured I'd share it here too!
Here is my workflow if anyone is interested:
Camera+ Scenes:
1. Auto
Made black and white, adjusted contrast/brightness, and added the shift.
Used one of the 'Scratches' filters and dialed down the effect.
Dynamic Light (Which apparently isn't in the App Store anymore?)
