The Tomorrowland Transit Authority is the perfect ride for tired feet. Normally short queues and a good sit down in the fresh air as you zoom around above Tomorrowland. Sitting on the front of the train gave a chance to try some long exposure shots of the track and its twists and turns.
A huge thank-you to everybody who has viewed, favourited and commented on this picture following it hitting Explore on 20th February 2015. Of all the pictures I've taken in Florida this was the one I least expected to do well, so chuffed that so many of you like it!

The Round Tower was the first place visited on my whistle-stop tour of Copenhagen, and the architecture within was something I'd never seen before in the UK - a 7.5 turn slope climbing the tower to high above the skyline of Copenhagen. At the top are a few stairs leading to an observation deck and astronomy tower. A popular venue for people, this shot was taken just before the next ground descended from the top.
From Wikipedia: The Rundetaarn, or Rundetårn (Round Tower in English), is a 17th-century tower located in central Copenhagen, Denmark. One of the many architectural projects of Christian IV, it was built as an astronomical observatory. It is most noted for its equestrian staircase, a 7.5-turn helical corridor leading to the top, and for the expansive views it affords over Copenhagen.

Lockdown and the lack of photographic opportunities might be starting to get to me, so I spent an evening sitting on the Utility Room floor with my camera on a tripod practically inside the washing machine. Because, well, photography. Lit with a small LED panel, space age or what?!

Beneath the Palau de les Arts - and underground - is this curved tunnel, which has skylights to the pavement above. While it looks peaceful the rooms either side are practice rooms for choirs, singers and orchestras. It was quiet as we passed through this time, but that is rarely the case.

Platform One and not a soul in sight as a train departs. The arches of the Guillemins building dominate.
A pleasant surprise this evening to find that this image received an Honorable Mention in the International Photo Awards 2019 - my first time entering such a competition, so to get one of my four entries commended is pretty pleasing!

Dappled light spills into the Northern Aisle in Ely Cathedral, highlighting the historic stonework and the details contained within it. A stunning cathedral to visit, and one with a very open policy and friendliness to photographers...and some great images to shoot there to boot. Go visit!

Tom and I took a stroll around Oxford, and were lucky enough to be allowed to visit the Investcorp Building or Middle East Centre in St Anthony's College, Oxford. This shot was taken from the ground floor looking up at the staircase full of clean lines and swooshes that dominate this Zaha Hadid-designed staircase.

The view from the pulpit into the choir and beyond in St Paul's Cathedral. Oh to have been able to use a tripod, this was a handheld shot at ISO 3200 so apologies for the lack of sharpness and graininess. Was an awesome place to visit though, that's for sure.

My first time exploring the Victoria & Albert Museum today, and was amazed at the absolute scale of the place. So many different rooms and galleries to explore with so many different items. This was the Paul and Jill Ruddock Gallery, but viewed from the second floor at one end where a stone pathway crosses between the gallery and the main entrance. The roofspace is fantastic in its symmetry and using a glass display cabinet I was able to capture the reflection to make an almost futuristic image from a historic building.
Received an Honorable Mention for this image on 2nd February 2021 from the Tokyo International Photo Awards in the Architecture-Interiors (Non-Professional) category!

So, I've recently been away for a few days in Valencia with fellow Flickrite Tom Knowles, a four day quest to do nothing but photography and food. Over the coming days I'll be uploading a few of my favourite images from the trip.
First off was a surprise find - heading from the airport to the hotel we got off the Metro by coincidence at this stop and found a small part of Calatrava's work hidden underground!

Standing above the platforms are two bridges, with the escalators moving down to the platform. High above is the Calatrava roof, a mass of symettrical beams. The TV screens give the train information for the platforms below...or in this case, nothing at all. This was the first shot I took in the station, we spent almost all our 28hrs in Liege at the station in the end!!! There will be one or two (or a hundred perhaps) images still to come, this place is just a treasure trove of different images!

The huge automated liftshaft within the St Botolph Building, which we were able to visit during Open House 2019. The lifts are "smart" and learn the best routes. You simply select the floor you want to go to, the computer decides the lift and you go to the door issued by the computer. Simples?

And so endeth our Valencian adventure, ironically back where we began at Alameda Metro Station. This shot was taken at platform level giving a different perspective to the first shot in the series, which was taken at the top of the escalator seen in this picture.

800ft above the City as the sun sets and the lights take over for the evening. The View From The Shard can only be described as incredible. Tricky to shoot with double panes of glass and reflections, but I got lucky with a couple of shots...

The Design Museum has moved to it's new home in Kensignton High Streat, a Grade II listed building which used to be the Commonwealth Institute. Impressively designed inside and some interesting exhibits to boot. Very angular from all angles, but the fisheye brings something completely different to the design.

A glimpse up at the roofspace in The Design Museum and the skylights and beams supporting the roof.
Big thanks to the gazillion people who have viewed, faved and commenting on this - an image I liked but never thought would hit Explore at #6 and become my most viewed image in 36hrs!

My second visit in six years to Ely Cathedral, must go again because there is sooooo much to see and shoot. This shot was taken just east of the Lantern Tower as I moved into the Choir and Prebytery areas, huge arched ceilings towering above with the light shimmering in from the stained glass windows at the far end. Taken from low down the scale of the building is even more obvious.

First published shot from a recent trip to Edinburgh to shoot with the gorgeous Belle Eve in a random hotel in the city centre. Looking for something a little darker in this than I'm used to while keeping the filmic look, we both love the finished result.
